Absolutely Fabulous (song)

"Absolutely Fabulous" is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys, released by Parlophone and Spaghetti Records as a single for 1994's Comic Relief under the artist name "Absolutely Fabulous"; it is based on the BBC sitcom of the same name created by Jennifer Saunders and features sound bites taken from the first series of the show.

It was more successful in Oceania, debuting and peaking at number two in both Australia and New Zealand; in the former country, it is the band's highest-charting single, and in both, it was their last top-10 entry.

Apart from its release as a single, the song "Absolutely Fabulous" also appears on the "Further Listening" disc that came with the 2001 reissue of the Pet Shop Boys album Very.

He wrote, "The Pet Shops sound as lusciously as ever, but Tennant's usual Mike-Leigh-down-the-disco existential witticisms (sadly missing here) are infinitely preferable to Saunders and Lumley reciting tired catchphrases and making jokes about 'Pump Up the Volume' a mere, uh, five years after MARRS had the hit.
