Mel and Kim were a British pop duo, comprising sisters Melanie and Kim Appleby. Originally managed by Alan Whitehead, they achieved success between 1986 and 1988, before Melanie, who had been diagnosed with cancer, died in January 1990 at the age of 23.
The duo reached number one in the UK Singles Chart with their 1987 single "Respectable", which also topped the U.S. dance chart. They had three other UK Top 10 hits with "Showing Out (Get Fresh at the Weekend)" (1986), "F.L.M." (1987) and "That's the Way It Is" (1988). In 1988, they were nominated for a Brit Award for Best British Breakthrough Act. After Mel's death, Kim embarked on a solo career and had two UK Top 10 hits with "Don't Worry" (1990) and "G.L.A.D." (1991).

Get fresh at the weekend, showing out, showing out
Get fresh at the weekend, showing out, showing out
You'd better live in love than luxury, it's alright
And don't so dining out on foolish dreams every night
It only takes a moment to feel alright
Get fresh at the weekend, showing out, showing out
Get fresh at the weekend, showing out, showing out
We can't afford to wear diamond and pearl, that's ok
Wouldn't want to be that kind of girl anyway
I only takes a moment to feel alright
Get fresh at the weekend, showing out, showing out
Get fresh at the weekend, showing out, showing out
I can supply you things I can provide everything
If it's the man's hand that pays the price
Then you belong to me
Can't afford to buy finer things that's alright
We wont lose our heads for anything, any time
I only takes a moment to feel alright
Get fresh at the weekend, showing out, showing out
