Why we seriously miss The Pussycat Dolls

You know, sometimes you just miss people. Last week I missed The Black Eyed Peas, now I miss The Dolls. I don’t give a… Keep looking at my… ‘Causr it don’t mean a thing if you’re looking at my… HA. I’mma do my thang while you’re playing with your… Ha, ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha. Honestly: there was a time when we all went crazy to the songs of the burlesque dance group from Los Angeles. Yes, I miss the Dolls and this is why.

Come on, there was no girl group as cool
They stormed the charts out of nowhere in 2005 with Don’t Cha, and all I could wonder was: A: since when is Busta Rhymes a thing again? B: how do I get a figure like that? and C: Don’t cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me? DAMN, who are these chicks?

Besides: we all wanted the clothes

Maybe now you’d look at a yellow belly top with red sweatpants and think: nope, thanks, I’m good. But in the Beep music video, Nicole rocked it and that’s how it was with all the looks. She wore it, you wanted it. And you also immediately wanted dance lessons.

Anyway, the music videos were a party
With When I Grow Up, Stickwitu, and Buttons as personal highlights from our golden MTV years.

They didn’t need a man
Beyoncé, eat your heart out, when it comes to girlboss lyrics, these chicas could also do it. ‘I don’t need a ring around my finger… to make me feel complete, so let me break it down. I can get off when you ain’t around, OOH!’

The group was manageable: in the end, we knew no one’s name except for Nicole

And hey, that’s okay. Maybe that girl with the cute gap between her teeth was called Melody. Then there was that chick with the red hair that no one really understood. And those two blondes who looked alike.

I heard something about a reunion lately, right? Tell me it’s true. Come to Amsterdam and I’ll be there, Dolls. You can’t leave us hanging. I hate this part right here…
