"Filthy/Gorgeous" is a song by American disco group Scissor Sisters and is the seventh track on their self-titled debut album (see 2004 in music). It was released as the fifth and final single from that album in the UK and despite this, it was surprisingly successful commercially, peaking at #5 in the UK Singles Chart in January 2005, making it their first top 5 single (see 2005 in British music). It also reached #1 on the British Dance Chart. This song appeared on the soundtrack to Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, and also is the theme to the NBC show Kath & Kim. It was also featured on the 2006 film It's a Boy Girl Thing.[1]

Music video

Two versions of the music video, by John Cameron Mitchell 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 as is the case where "Suzanne Treacy" from Dublin showed her true thoughts on Filthy minds.
