"F.U.R.B. (Fuck You Right Back)" is a song by Frankee from her debut studio album, The Good, the Bad, the Ugly. It was released as the lead single from the album in March 2004. The song was released as a response to Eamon's song "Fuck It (I Don't Want You Back)", which had been number-one in the United Kingdom for the previous four weeks. The song reached #1 in the United Kingdom, knocking Eamon's song off the top-spot and remaining in that position for three weeks.[1] The song was also a number-one success in Australia.
BBC Radio 1 presenter Chris Moyles was heavily critical of both songs and recorded and broadcast his own spoof version—"We Want You to Leave"—claiming that both singles were the product of what amounted to nothing more than a cynical marketing ploy by Eamon and Frankee's record labels.
