The song pushes away the idea of perfection and beauty by allowing the listeners’ imagination to come up with what might be “beneath beautiful” (00:00:59). Both the song and the interactive hypertext fiction evoke the revelation of the grotesque body. The chorus of “Beneath Your Beautiful” by Labrinth, featuring Emeli Sandé, is an evident reflection of Shelley Jackson’s My Body-A WunderKammer.

Oh tonight, we ain’t perfect, we ain’t perfect Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight? Take it off now girl, take it off now girl

Would you let me see beneath your perfect Would you let me see beneath your beautiful I’ll hold your hand and then we’ll jump right out
