If you've ever thought about turning up to your High School reunion in drag, then this is your sign to go for it. Mannequin Pussy have just shared the title track from their fortchomign EP Perfect along with a drag interpretation of Romy and Michele.

The visuals show some uppity former pupils catching up over the swell of their baby bumps before the drag queens arrive to fuck shit up. The track itself is a whiplash punk track of the appropriate punk length (1 minute 22 seconds) and an epic example of the genre: blustering, political, funny and ballsy:

Of the song's origins, the band's Missy said: "I realized that through years of social media training, many of us have grown this deep desire to manicure our lives to look as perfect, as aspirational as possible. We want to put ourselves out there, share our lives, our stories, our day to day - and these images and videos all shout the same thing: ‘Please look at me, please tell me I’m so perfect.’"

'Control' is also available to hear now ahead of the Perfect EP release.

Perfect EP Tracklist:

1. Control
2. Perfect 
3. To Lose You
4. Pigs Is Pigs 
5. Darling

Perfect EP arrives 21 May via Epitaph Records.
