The Tubes band meeting 1983: “She’s a beauty is a kick ass song. But the label thinks it’s too racy to have a video about a peep-show girl. What could we do to tone it down?” “I know, let’s have a pre-teen boy sit on the lap of a dominatrix in a carnival ride called ‘ride the beauty’.”
Much better.
The Tubes probably could have left the beauty's envelope right there, but instead they thrust the excited boy right through a picture of a breast. And on the other side? A four year-old ballerina. Can we please go back to the peep-show theme? This is creeping me out. Instead, they keep the ride going to reveal caged jungle girls with hay in their hair watching the dominatrix move the safety bar up to the young boy’s neck. This video is less about a one in a million girl and more the story of the boy coming of age. The dominatrix disposes of the bar in favor of a more intimate headlock and ultimately the boy becomes a man after riding the beauty. "She'll give you every penny's worth. But, it will cost you a dollar first" (and thousands in therapy).
What twisted freak directed this beauty/starter porn? Why, Kenny Ortega of course...the director of Disney's High School Musical films.
