She's A Beauty was released as a single and became the band's biggest hit, reaching Number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The Tubes official bio:

The Tubes formed in 1972 in San Francisco from two bands that moved there from Phoenix, The Beans along with the Red, White and Blues Band. While musically influenced by groups like Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart, who actually recorded a song with the group on their third album, their theatrical satire was evident from the beginning. All these years later, The Tubes still consists of, original members, the irrepressible front man Fee Waybill, world-class drummer Prairie Prince, virtuoso guitarist Roger Steen and oh-so-steady bassist Rick Gator Anderson, and continue to delight fans across the country and around the world with their iconic live shows.

Led by singer Fee Waybill–known for his classic characters, including the glam-rocking, stack-heeled Quay Lewd, the dangerous Mr. Hateor the gnarly punk parody Johnny Bugger–The Tubes released five albums on A&M Records, starting with the Al Kooper-produced self-titled debut in 1975, which included “White Punks on Dope,” dubbed "an absurd anthem of wretched excess” later covered by Motley Crue and German chanteuse Nina Hagen, as well as set staple, “Mondo Bondage.”

After Young & Rich (1976), produced by Ken Scott (of Beatles fame) highlighted by the salacious “Don’t Touch Me There,” The Tubes released Now, the live What Do You Want From Live and the concept album Remote Control, their final album for A&M before leaving for Capitol Records.

The Tubes, for the first time ever, have been on tour performing The Completion Backward Principle live from start to finish, and now the album has been re-released on 180-gram audiophile blue vinyl.

“The whole satire of the corporate business world and its double-speak is very timely right now,” says Waybill about the album’s relevance. “The album’s theme–that imagination creates reality–still resonates today. It’s as appropriate now as it was back then, although we were parodying corporate rock, today it has to do with the same absurdities in politics. We’re even wearing gray flannel suits again.”

In addition to playing the complete Completion, The Tubes’ current tour setlist includes such classics as “White Punks on Dope”, “Mondo Bondage,” “What Do You Want from Life,” “Out of the Business,” “I Want It All Now,” and “She’s a Beauty.”

Fee enthuses, “It’s so great that people still love our music and sing along at shows. The best part is, we’re a way better band today than we ever were.”

She's A Beauty lyrics:

Step right up, and don't be shy
Because you will not believe your eyes
She's right here, behind the glass
You're gonna like her 'cause she's got class

You can look inside another world
You get to talk to a pretty girl
She's everything you dream about

But don't fall in love
She's a beauty
She's one in a million girls
She's a beauty
Why would I lie?

You can say anything you like
But you can't touch the merchandise
She'll give you every penny's worth
But it will cost you a dollar first

You can step outside your little world
You can talk to a pretty girl
She's everything you dream about

But don't fall in love
She's a beauty
She's one in a million girls
One in a million girls
Why would I lie?

But don't fall in love
'Cause if you do, you'll find out she don't love you
She's one in a million girls
One in a million girls
Why would I lie?
Now, why would I lie?

[Guitar solo]

Step outside your world

But don't fall in love
She's a beauty
She's one in a million girls
One in a million girls
Why would I lie?
Now, why would I lie?
