[edit] Trivia
- Two versions of the music video, by Steve Coppell and Seth Green and Michelle T were made: a full-length raunchier version featuring semi-explicit scenes in a sex club, and an edited version where those scenes are shown more briefly, out of context, and occasionally obscured. Some scenes are removed completely.
- At the Bestival in 2006, Scissor Sisters performed this song as the final encore, accompanied by ten foot high clowns to create controversy. The idea of clowns during the encore of Filthy Gorgeous was conceived at the Bestival but was also used during the Product Red concert at the Trafalgar Square.
