"Sweet Harmony" is a hit single by UK band The Beloved. It became one of their biggest hits, peaking at #8 on the UK singles chart. None of the band's other singles have made into the Top 10, which is why many consider this the band's signature song.

Music video

The song gained notoriety for its controversial music video, which consisted of a naked Jon Marsh and a bevy of other equally naked females - including Tess Daly - lipsynching the lyrics. In an interview, Marsh pointed out that the video was "not intended to be sexual" and was "as A-sexual as you can get"Fact|date=June 2008. The video is supposed to represent unity between humans.

Cover versions

In 2007 the song was covered by Polish rock group Feel on their multi-platinum selling debut album.
