"Beautiful Ones" is the second single from the album Coming Up by Suede, released on 14 October 1996 on Nude Records. The song became a top 10 hit in the United Kingdom, peaking at number eight, as well as in Finland, where it reached number six.

Background

Featuring one of new guitarist Richard Oakes' first guitar riffs, "Beautiful Ones" became one of Suede's more popular singles. The song was originally titled "Dead Leg" after Osman threatened to give Oakes a dead leg if he was unable to write a top ten single.[1] The song charted at number 8 on the UK Singles Chart in October 1996, in an era when the top ten consisted of an eclectic mix of pop, indie and dance music.[2]

The video for the song was directed by Pedro Romhanyi, who had previously made the video for the band's third single, "Animal Nitrate" in early 1993. The video features the band shot in black & white performing the song, intercut with quick edits of conceptual segments illustrating the song's lyrics in a literal fashion.

Critical reception

Billboard wrote: "like a fast-mangled Oasis song, The London Suede succeeded in making sounds of pop/rock that are definitely unique. The painfully true lyrics and vibrant sounds have already proved to be a hit in the U.K."[3]

In 2014, Paste listed the song at number 34 in its list, "The 50 Best Britpop Songs." Michael Danaher wrote: "The song is both simple and sophisticated, and it’s a true Britpop gem that deserves much attention."[4]

Cover versions

  • Kim Wilde recorded a version of the song for her 2011 album Snapshots.
  • In Chile, "Beautiful Ones" was versioned by the children show Cachureos, recalling it "Los Ancianos" (The Elder Ones).
