Perfect 10 is a song by The Beautiful South, released in 1998. It reached number two in the UK charts. The song also appeared on their album Quench. The song consists of a series of comments and puns about a relationship between a man and woman using clothing sizes and penis length in the lyrics. The title itself is a pun in that it is reference to the mens magazine of the same name. It also has a double meaning – Perfect 10 referring to a person who scores 10 out of 10 for attractiveness and desirability, but also referring to a size 10 (in UK womens clothing measurement) which the male singer (Paul Heaton) suggests is the perfect size for his woman, while the female singer suggest 8 inches is the perfect penis size. Other weight and size-related lyric puns in the song include: Anorexic chicks, the model 6, they dont hold no weight with me, and from the female singer (Jacqui Abbott): If hes XXL, well what the hell, every penny dont fit the slot and When hes at my gate, with a big fat 8, you wanna see the smile on my face. Perfect 10 was seen as a tour classic by The Beautiful South and it has been stated by Dave Stead that There are certain songs you just cant leave out...I think we would be lynched if we didnt play Keep It All In, Dont Marry Her and Perfect 10. This song also features in a episode of sitcom Phoenix Nights, where compere Jerry St Clair sings it in his own style. Perfect 10 also featured as the theme song of UK television series Fat Friends. Paul Weller guested on guitar. https://youtube/watch?v=QWjDZkY1ILU
