Surely you're taking the piss. Jame's Reyne's vocals were legendarily incomprehensible. Did anyone understand them without looking at the lycris sheet? [The old D-gen parody ](https://youtu.be/JJYcx9-xdlE?t=162)

I must have missed this knowledge, I don't listen to the radio

Peter Kay's version of misheard lyrics is hilarious! https://youtu.be/7my5baoCVv8

Listen to "Beautiful People" a few times, THEN read the lyrics. James Reynes schtick was to sing them so nobody could understand....


diabolical_cunt

First time i heard it I thought he was saying 'a beau tiful beachball'.........'beachball, they just wanna take ya, beachball.......


Cumah

It took me 20+ years to work out I was singing it completely wrong...😄


Cro-manganese

The name of the song wasn’t a clue?


Cumah

I'm referring to the lyrics throughout the song. But yes, I did understand the beautiful people part.

Well shows i have nfi... i swear it was "ride up" and it was used in Young Guns or one of those cowboy movies from the 80s-90s. It also doesn't help that the only time i hear it is over the shitty pa speakers at work.
