"Beautiful" comes from Hotel, the seventh studio album by American electronica man Moby, and Mute issued it as the record's fifth single, a curious one at that: it came out on September 12, 2005, and only in mainland Europe. The video stages a swingers' party full of guests in animal costumes. The song got a second life the following year, when David Frankel put it on the soundtrack of his 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada.
