"Mis-Shapes" is a song written and released by English alternative rock band Pulp from their 1995 album Different Class. Lyrically inspired by Cocker's experiences socializing in Sheffield as an outcast, the song features lyrics that call for misfits to unite and take over. This lyrical theme would make Cocker uncomfortable with Pulp's growing popularity with "townies" after the song's release.
"Mis-Shapes" was released as a double-A sided single with "Sorted for E's & Wizz", the second single from Different Class after "Common People." Like its predecessor, the single reached number two in the UK charts and has since seen critical acclaim.
