"Filthy/Gorgeous" sits at track seven on Scissor Sisters' self-titled 2004 debut, and it's the record at its sleaziest and most fun: a strutting piece of electroclash that wants you sweaty. Babydaddy, Ana Lynch and Jason Sellards wrote it, the band produced it themselves with Babydaddy handling the recording, Ayan Pal played bass, and Neil Harris shared the mixing desk with the band.
Polydor didn't put it out as a single until January 3, 2005, the fifth and last one lifted from the album, and it handed the band their first British top-five hit while topping the dance charts in the UK and the US. John Cameron Mitchell shot the video in two cuts: a raunchy full-length version that spends time in a sex club, and a tamer edit that trims, blurs or drops those scenes.
