She Ain't Pretty

"She Ain't Pretty" is a single by Canadian rock band The Northern Pikes, from their 1990 album Snow in June. It is the song for which the Pikes are best known.[1]

Pretty was written by Bryan Potvin. It describes the singer's infatuation with a physically attractive woman, and his dismay at learning that she is a horrible persona "model from Hell".

Critical reception

In 1991, Pretty was nominated for a Juno award for Single of the Year. Its music video, which integrated claymation and early use of morphing, and which the National Post described as "fantastic",[2] was nominated for a Juno.
