Wikipedia article


"'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.

The song 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 person—a "model from Hell". The genesis of the song was Potvin watching an episode of 'Rhoda' where a character says "I'm not really beautiful, I just look that way."

The song was the sixth-most played Cancon song in Canada of 1990.
