Is it just me, or what is it with the recent (and not so recent) proliferation of songs with "beautiful" in the title? Darren Hayes, James Blunt, Pete Murray, Christina Aguilera, and probably a whole bunch of other songs I don't know.
Where are the songs about being ugly? (besides Not Pretty Enough....and anyway, that was more about being invisible) Or at least about being questionably beautiful? Like, you have nice eyes, but your hair is really ugly, but if you wore a hat, then I might just be swayed towards thinking that you're beautiful? Or, I think you're as beautiful as a beautiful cow, or something like that.
Ahh...don't mind me.

Interesting question, but I don't think songs would sell if they were "You so ugly." Meanwhile there is a song like that actually, was it by Shampoo, I forget. Hmmm... ugly songs... lemme think...
I'm guessing the punk/rock/poppy bands would have sings like that. Perhaps Bloodhound Gang "Why's everybody picking on me"
'pparently not.

reminds me of that sonnet by shakespeare, you know, "black wires grow upon your head" and so on. not the song, which i haven't read the lyrics to yet, but just the question.
Yea I was gonna say that too. What was it called again *goes and grabs poetry book*
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun,
Coral is far more red than her lips red,
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun,
If hairs be wires, black wires grown on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses I see in her cheeks,
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound,
I grant I never saw a goddess go,
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
My Funny Valentine is pretty much "you're not much to look at, but I don't want you to change"
"Is your figure less than greek, is your mouth a little weak, when you open it to speak, are you smart? But don't change a hair for me, not if you care for me"
'Sides, love is blind, right?
Thinking of songs how about Everything About You by Ugly Kid Joe? (Took me a while to look this up)
And i, get sick when I’m around,
i, can’t stand to be around,
I, hate everything about you...
