Antique Fair was a studio act assembled by Tuesday/Axe Records chief Greg Hambleton to capitalize on, then, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's February 16, 1971 mouthing of the words "fuck off" to an opposition party member in the House of Commons. When the media questioned him on what he said he responded that the words were, in fact, "fuddle duddle". Thus was born an instant slang term in the Canadian cultural vernacular.
Tuesday Records rush released the single "Fuddle Duddle" to radio in March 6, 1971 (the same day as Doug Riley's studio act House of Commons released "Do The Fuddle Duddle") which managed to reach #68 on the RPM Top100 Singles chart by the beginning of April 1971.
