Fancy made a comeback in 1998 with the remix of his biggest hit Flames Of Love. It didn't take long to captivate audiences around Europe once again. That year Fancy released Hit Party with remixes of his old hits and some new compositions. Only a year later another album D.I.S.C.O. was released and received very good reviews from the fans since most songs were based on an old Fancy formula which made him a star in the '80s. Then came the album Locomotion in 2001.
The second Fancy (http://myspace.com/welovefancy) is a flamboyant three-piece outfit from the notorious riot zones in the working-class suburbs of Paris.
Mixing AC/DC and T-Rex with the glitter ball sparkle of disco, Fancy comes armed with loads of make-up, feather boas, killer tunes at the ready, and a mountain of glowing press in France - including the "Most Entertaining Group" award from the French newspaper Liberation. Onstage, Fancy has supported MC5, TV on the Radio, Daft Punk and The Rapture.
FANCY also co-wrote the recent Justice hit ‘D.A.N.C.E.’.
“Above all, we’re about making love”, says their singer and resident rock god/dess Jessie Chaton.
The third Fancy is a British white funk band of the 1970's most famous for their cover of the Trogg's "Wild Thing," a single which went gold in the U.S. Former Penthouse pet Helen Court sang steamily, Rick Fenwick ex-of the Spencer Davis Group played guitar, Mo Foster bass, Henry Spinetti drums and Alan Hawkshaw keyboards. Fancy released several subsequent albums replacing Court with Annie Cavanaugh from the cast of Hair and Jesus Christ Superstar, but failed to regain the same success.
The fourth Fancy is a San Jose, CA based synth pop band that formed immediately after the dissolution of Volvox. Fancy eventually evolved into the solo project of Proton Pigeon.
Touch Me
Fancy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Peter: eh eh eh... Cant touch me, Cant touch me
JJJJJust like the bad guy, from lethal weapon 2
I've got diplomatic immunity, so Hammer you cant sue
I can write graffiti, even j-walk in the street
I can riot, loot, not give a hoot
And touch your sisters teet
Mayor Adam West: What in gods name is he doing?
CANT TOUCH ME!
Cleaveland: I believe thats the worm
Peter: Stop! Peter time! I'm a big shot, theres no doubt
Light a fire, then pee it out
Dont like it, kiss my rump
Just for a minute lets all do the bump
CANT TOUCH ME YEA DO THE PETER GRIFFIN BUMP CANT TOUCH ME
I'm presidential Peter, interns think I'm hot
Dont care if your handicapped, I'll still park in your spot
I've been around the world, from Hartford to Bakbay
Its Peter go Peter I'm mac Peter yo Peter
Lets see Regis rap this way CANT TOUCH ME!
Except for you, you can touch me.
The lyrics of Fancy’s song “Touch Me” is essentially a comical take on the idea of power and authority. In the first verse, Peter declares himself as someone similar to the “bad guy” in Lethal Weapon 2 because he possess diplomatic immunity which makes him untouchable by the law enforcers. He goes on to list other mischievous things that he could do such as writing graffiti, jaywalking, rioting, and loot without any consequences. The humorous aspect of this verse lies in the fact that Peter lists these activities with childlike glee as if he were above the law.
In the second verse, Peter plays around with his power and likens himself to President. He boasts of his popularity with interns and how he could park anywhere he wants to, even if it’s designated for handicapped individuals. The line “I’ve been around the world, from Hartford to Bakbay” adds to the notion that Peter is well-versed in handling power and authority. The comical nature of the verse is clear as Peter forces Regis to rap in his style. The line “Except for you, you can touch me” adds a tongue-in-cheek element that complements the rest of the playful song.
Overall, the lyrics of “Touch Me” evoke a sense of childlike mischievous joy that stems from having the power to do as one pleases without caring about the consequences. Fancy has used a comical tone and nonsensical lines to convey this sense of power and authority.

I was a 15 year old when this came out and bought the album right away. One of my favorites from the mid-70's. Purchased at Wilcox Records in OKC. Great record store where I got all of my David Bowie singles (UK import and domestic)
Rick Johnston
I also was a teenager in OKC (Edmond) when this came out, but I don't remember where I bought it. I do remember Wilcox Records very well though!

Les Binks the Drummer was in Judas Priest....the beat sounds like Living After Midnight
Bruce Gordon
'Wild Thing" peaked #14 on the Billboard 100 and 'Touch Me" made it to #19 if I'm not mistaken. In my opinion it should have been the other way around.

I have the 45 rpm on the Big Tree Record label. At the very end of the song when she says you give me shivers down my backbone, I don't remember hearing that on the single I have.
