Pussycat Dolls: "Hush Hush; Hush Hush"

Friday, 29 May 2009

No, I didn't accidentally hit copy/paste, that is the title of the Pussycat Dolls' latest single. "Hush" just wasn't street enough, I guess. You need some repetition and a semi-colon, see. Punctuation's where it's at, yo. Is there any point typing anything here? Just enjoy the music video, which features Nicole Scherzinger having a lovely bath, before joining her fellow pussycats for a '70s disco-inspired song that bizarrely segueways into a brief cover of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" (which was #1 in the UK Singles Chart when I was born, way back in March 1979. Spooky, I know.)

But let's take a straw poll: will the Pussycat Dolls ever split up, as strongly rumoured when diva Scherzinger insisted that their last single "Jai Ho" was credited to The Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger. That did feel like an obvious hint from Ms. S for the 'dolls to sod off, but did any of her bandmates get it? Or do they just persevere with her because, let's face it, if the band did split up... Scherzinger has a potential solo career to get on with, and they'll just go back to burlesque. I reckon Nic's just annoyed she has to split her wages six ways.
