"She's a Beauty" is a song by American rock band The Tubes. Released in 1983 on The Tubes' album ''Outside Inside'' from Capitol Records, the song became the band's biggest hit. It went to number 10 on the ''Billboard ''U.S. Hot 100 list, and number 1 on the Billboard U.S. Mainstream Rock Tracks list which charts the frequency of songs played on mainstream rock stations. "She's a Beauty" is Track 1 on Side 1 of the ''Outside Inside'' LP, on which it runs 4:01 minutes long. It is Side A on the single; the B-side is a non-album track, "When You're Ready to Come". ==Music video== The popularity of "She's a Beauty" was largely driven by a very inventive, provocative music video 〔(Music video for "She's a Beauty" ) at YouTube.〕 that became a staple of then-fledgling MTV. This video was directed by the choreographer of The Tubes' famous stage shows, Kenny Ortega, who has since gone on to great success choreographing movies such as ''Dirty Dancing'' and ''Ferris Bueller's Day Off'', and as a director with ''High School Musical'' and its sequels. In the video, The Tubes' lead singer Fee Waybill plays a carnival barker who extols a crowd with the virtues of a sideshow attraction: :''Step right up and don't be shy :''Because you will not believe your eyes :''She's right here behind the glass :''And you're gonna like her :'' 'Cause she's got class. He takes money from a young boy who then rides a carnival car through hallucinogenic scenes of a mermaid, female trapeze artist, prehistoric women dressed in furs, and others. The recurring theme is that he is attracted but is unable to reach them. At the end of the video we see the boy exiting the ride aged to an old man, the message apparently being the financial and emotional cost of falling in love with but being unable to obtain his heart's desire. The role of the young boy was the first acting job for 12-year-old Robert Arquette, who later became Alexis Arquette. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「She's a Beauty」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
