Keith inspired the REM song What's the Frequency Kenneth? when he spoke to Michael Stipe about the radio station he was working on as Michael's a big fan. Unfortunately, Keith didn't quite sound right when REM were working on the song and were forced to change it to Kenneth.

Actually, most REM fans believe the song refers to the former newsreader, Kenneth Kendall but we know better!

Keith Chegwin released a song called 'I wanna be a winner' with a group called Brown Sauce. He was later sued after admitting the taking part was more important. This unsavoury incident almost led to bankruptcy, but luckily he was able to cash in his shares in St Johnstone, earning him £335, enough to start his own animal embalming business, in which he still works the Wednesday morning shift. Mostly he enjoys stuffing red squirrels... "those grey ones come over here and steal our jobs and try and blow up our airports" he rightly claims.

In spite of Keiths abstinence from the Demon Drink he still finds time between potting and stuffing small animals to come up with the Guinness adverts, its a creative outlet that gives him a great sense of fulfillment.

Watch out for him in the new year as he embarks on his new career of cage fighting - You read it here first folks!

After Keiths success in Kenny with their smash-a-doody hit-tastic record, Fancy Pants, he was headhunted to be the original KC in KC and the Sunshine Band but had to drop out due to Swap Shop commitments. The devistated rest of the band kept his initials as a tribute.
