"Beautiful People" is a song by Scottish rock band Big Country, which was released in 1991 as the second and final single from their fifth studio album No Place Like Home.

[6] Upon its release, Peter Kinghorn of Newcastle Evening Chronicle described "Beautiful People" as a "gently rolling singalong tune" with "plinking banjo and piano".

For the same magazine, Stuart Maconie added, "Gone, now, the tear-jerking bagpipe skirls that inspired a million poly students to jump on tables in the Union bar.

In common with most of their 'established rock band' ilk, Big Country now aspire to the condition of impoverished negro bluesmen or busking tramps.

[11] In a retrospective review of the single, JT Griffith of AllMusic felt "Return to the Two Headed King" and "Fly Like An Eagle" were "unimpressive", with "Beautiful People" being "by far [the] strongest song".
