Lyrics

The Pussycat Dolls are an award-winning and Grammy Award-nominated American all-female music group. The Dolls began as a burlesque dance troupe based in Los Angeles, and expanded to Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The group, which was founded by choreographer Robin Antin in 1995, released its first single in 2004. The group is one of the most commercially successful new acts to appear in 2005, and have gone on to sell over 5 million records worldwide.

Some sources claim that Robin Antin began exploring the idea of a modern burlesque troupe in 1993 with her friend Linh le and Christina Applegate (both friends since high school); the troupe’s first performance was in 1995. During this period they performed with numerous guest vocalists (see list below), with a repertoire of ’50s and ’60s pop standards, performed in lingerie and/or old-fashioned pin-up costumes.

They secured a Thursday night residency at Los Angeles nightclub The Viper Room, where they stayed from 1995–2001. In June 1999 Playboy ran a Pussycat Dolls pictorial, featuring at least contemporary members Kasey Campbell, Kiva Dawson, Erica Gudis and Lindsley Allen. In 2002 they moved to The Roxy. The group became internationally popular and was featured in magazines, television specials for MTV and VH1, ad campaigns, and movies. Some of the Dolls appeared in the 2003 film Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle dancing to “The Pink Panther Theme”.

Carmen Electra was the group’s lead performer for many of their shows. She said “I was part of the Dolls for two years and did every show with them…but financially, I couldn’t become part of their new music project…It was a financial sacrifice I couldn’t make.”[1] She did however make a cameo appearance in the music video for “Don’t Cha”.

With the involvement of music producers Jimmy Iovine and Ron Fair, the troupe was re-cast, transformed into an R&B recording group, and signed up as employees of Iovine’s label Interscope Records.
