Product Description
Taken from the 2002 album, 'Masquerade'. The title track is backed with three non-LP tracks, 'Pussycat' (Street Remix - Clean), 'Pussycat' (Blackkat Remix) & 'Two Wrongs' (So So Def Remix). Columbia.
Do you like music? Maybe hip-hop? Then you should get the "Pussycat Doll's (PCD)" CD with the lead singer Nicole and the back-up singers Kimberly, Carmit, Ashley, Melody, and Jessica. There are 12 songs and hot and sexy artists sing all of them.
I think that the CD is totally cool and amazing. It's all thanks to Robin Antin. She was the one who made the songs on the CD and she was the one who created the Pussycat Doll's. Robin also made the CD a cool, hot, sexy, and amazing CD. She makes a good feeling on the last song, "Feelin' Good"! The price is $[...].
I recommend this CD to people 10 and up! This CD will make the Pussycat Doll's be more famous and live out there dream in L.A.! On this CD I can tell the best songs from the worst songs. The best songs are: "Don't Cha", "Beep", "Wait a Minute", "Buttons", "I don't need a Man", "Hot stuff", "Bite the Dust", and "Feelin' Good"! To the fans the CD is totally amazing and to the first time listeners it's totally amazing, too!
In conclusion this CD has awesome songs, great singers, cheep price, and is a blast to listen to!!
1. Don't Cha f/ Busta Ryhmes- "Don't cha wish ya gulfriend was hot like me". this song was a hit when it came out and it is still popular today. i just wish that Busta Rymes wasn't in it. he completely ruins the song and what it's about. the song is about a hot girl (Nicole) who loves a guy who has an unpretty girlfriend and makes him wish he had her, but Busta Rhymes raps about stupid stuff that has nothing to do with it. 4/5
2. Beep f/ Will I Am- I LOVE this song! This is one of my favorites. I like Will I Am because he is part of my favorite band, The Black Eyed Peas. This song is funny and cute. I love how they almost cuss, but it is blocked out by a "[BEEP]"! 5/5
3. Wait A Minute f/ Timbaland- What can I say? Timbaland is just plain awesome. He has transformed artists such as Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake; i didn't like either one of them at first, but because of Timbaland, they have both won my respect. but he didn't transform the pussycat dolls. 5/5
4. Stickwitu- This song is okay. i never really liked it that much. 3/5
5. Buttons- This song shows off their dirty side (as seen in the video). but don't let that change your opinion about them. the only time i misjudged this song was the first time i heard it. in the first line when she says "Fall for", it kind of sounds like the "F" word, but it really isn't. 5/5
6. I Don't Need A Man- 5/5
7. Hot Stuff (I Want You Back)- This song is hot hot hot. i absolutely love it! 5/5
8. How Many Times, How Many Lies- 4/5
9. Bite The Dust- 4/5
10. Right Now- This song sounds jazzy and broadway-ish. it kind of makes me think of the movie "West Side Story".
11. Tainted Love/ Where Did Our Love Go- this track copies two songs. "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell and "Where Did Our Love Go" by The Supremes. 3/5
12. Feeling Good- The most boring one on the album. of couse i'm not sure, but i think it was copied as well. 2/5
I hope their next album is just as good a this one...no wait...BETTER! but i'm not sure if they are coming out with a new album or if Nicole is going solo.
One of my favorites from back in the day -- and important enough to me to warrant buying yet another copy!!!
Both albums were released around the same time. At that time, FP's album was getting much more publicity. But then "Sweet Child o' Mine" took off, and the Pussycats' album got buried.
It is a SOLID 5 star album! It is L.A. sleaze-metal-rock at it's best. You have the classics, in "Don't Change That Song" and "Bathroom Wall", as well as "Cathouse". But the whole Stones-meets-metal sound continues on solid tunes like "No Room For Emotion" and "City Has No Heart".
Frankly there is NO bad song on this whole disk! "Babylon", Shooting You Down" and "Bottle In Front Of Me" are good.
"City has No Heart " and "Ship Rolls In" are strong rockers that make this album much more than a "trash metal" album. It is a classic metal album!
I saw maybe 30 seconds of The Dolls performing on the Nick Awards and was offended once again thinking this song was too mature for a Nickelodeon audience. But for some reason, I was interested, and so I listened to the 30 second clips here on Amazon and was impressed. I bought the album and haven't been disappointed so far.
Even some fans say The Pussycat Dolls shouldn't be taken too seriously and that no one is looking for them to win a Grammy for anything. But why not? Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl was nominated for Record of the Year. If Hollaback Girl can be nominated, nobody should give up hope. Now, I love Hollaback Girl, but that's like saying you love an Adam Sandler movie: it hasn't anything to do with award shows.
So don't shoot down the girls' chances. It seems like anybody has a shot these days in the age where we see record sales as a sign of greatness and where it's okay to copy, sample, and recycle without adding anything new of your own.
Perhaps in the future a better collection of songs also, why "Bottle In Front Of Me" is on here I don't know, and only 10 songs it's a poor representation of the band. They might as well put out an essential 2 CD set and put "You're so Vain" at the end. Leave off 3 or 4 songs from "Whipped", and leave off maybe 1 or 2 from each of the first 2 CD's and there you have it.
This one is lacking, even for a band that only put out 3 CD's of studio material.
The track listing on "Greatest Hits" includes a mix of songs (hits and non-singles) from the three studio albums released by Faster Pussycat between 1987-1992. The versions here are the original studio cuts, not cheap rerecorded versions or live cuts. Four of the tracks can be found on the 1987 self-titled debut, which include 'Cathouse', 'Don't change that song', 'Bathroom Wall' and 'Bottle in front of me.' While some may lament that tunes such as 'Shooting you down' and 'Babylon' were left off, keep in mind that only ten cuts are featured altogether. It is also worth noting that the self-titled Faster Pussycat effort is an album that contained no real filler, so pretty much anything would have fit on here.
The best-selling Faster Pussycat album, "Wake Me When It's Over" is also represented by four cuts. These are 'Poison Ivy', 'Slip of the tongue', 'Where there's a whip, there's a way' and 'House of Pain.' Again, there is little to be upset about regarding the track selection on this album. One more cut, 'Nonstop to nowhere', was the single from the 1992 release, "Whipped." "Whipped" was the final release by Faster Pussycat and the band went their separate ways after the commercial failure of this third studio album from the group. They did eventually reunite, which may have something to do with this album existing in the first place.
'You're So Vain' was a cover song performed by Faster Pussycat during the early 1990's. Until now, it was only able to be located on a various artists compilation album and also a limited edition ep from the band. The cover is very well done and worth the price of purchase alone, considering the low price of this greatest hits collection. A lot of fans have long demanded this song, making it a Faster Pussycat cult classic.
The negatives are that there are only ten song selections here and plenty of cuts could have easily made it onto this album. For some reason, the profanity in 'Slip of the tongue' is slickly edited out. This is the type of thing you'd see on a clean edit of a popular album. Really, it poses no problem for most people. If it matters all that much, it is easy enough to find the source album ("Wake Me When It's Over") that the tune comes from. There are no other songs edited in this fashion, so this is the only cut that doesn't appear in its original form. All ten of the tracks here do appear in full-length form, meaning they are not edited for running time. That is identical to the original albums, including 'Nonstop to nowhere' which runs close to seven minutes (a shorter radio single version of 'Nonstop' exists but thankfully that one was not used here).
Given the cost, there is no reason for a fan of Faster Pussycat to not pick this one up. This is the easiest way to locate 'You're So Vain' and it sure beats paying a hefty price for the 1992 ep it can be found on. The funny thing is that the 1987 debut, as a whole, is actually a little bit superior to this compilation. For that reason, this is one of those albums that should be purchased to finish the Faster Pussycat catalog, not start it. Most new fans looking into the band will want to start with the self-titled release, which introduced this underrated and underappreciated band to the world. That is just my opinion.
This "Greatest Hits" collection is not band approved, not that most of them are, but the liner notes and presentation on this one are both very respectable. The label that issued this collection has done similar compilations, of varying quality, for artists such as Foreigner, Twisted Sister, White Lion and Winger. Like this one, those come at the same low price and provide a good sampling of the catalog for each artist. You can't really go wrong here, not at all. Faster Pussycat "Greatest Hits" comes highly recommended. Perfect for the diehard, it is also the easiest way for the casual fan to obtain the one song that matters to most people, 'House of Pain.'
Where it is really a valuable collection is for the song "You're So Vain", as this is the only place I've been able to find this song. It was originally done for some kind of 25th anniversary CD in 1990 for their label, and I've been unable to locate that song or that CD anywhere for years. For that reason alone it's valuable for the Faster Pussycat fan, or anyone who enjoyed this genre.
This is from the "Whatever happened to" file.
A major improvement over the debut, every song is memorable. 'Tattoo' is my favorite! I saw F.P. on this tour and it was obvious that they wouldn't be around forever, but at least they put some great tunes down while they were.
Perhaps that's why this fantastic 1989 release slipped through the cracks. Though it was certified Gold and had a few hit singles, few remember it today.
Stylistically, "Wake Me When It's Over" sits somewhere between Poison and Guns N' Roses: glam enough to be somewhat cheesy at points, but hard-hitting enough to be taken seriously. They have toured with both bands.
The best track by far is the power ballad "House of Pain." It is a heartfelt song with lyrics about a deadbeat dad, so it doesn't feel as dated as most other `80s ballads ("Home Sweet Home," anyone?).
Though the rest of the record is overshadowed by "House of Pain," it is consistent and high-quality nonetheless. Much of the material revolves around the `80s-metal necessity of promiscuous sex, but others cover the topics of murder ("Cryin' Shame") and abortion ("Pullin' Weeds").
Standout tracks include the aggressive "Where There's a Whip There's a Way," the swaggering "Tattoo" and the love ballad "Please Dear."
Given the record sells used for about $5 nowadays, any fan of hair metal or blues-based hard rock will not be disappointed. It is one of `80s rock's best and most underrated moments.
Actually, this group is like a long string of "girl" groups, i.e. Expose, the Flirts, Company B, the Spice Girls, the Cover Girls, Sweet Sensation and heaven knows how many others: girls that can sing kind of, look sexy with all the songs written and produced by a man (or men) with some serious sexual frustration, or perhaps trying to answer some gay or transexual questions within themselves.
Okay, that's probably a bit much; but this song is gonna be about it for the PCDs. They might get a couple more suggestive songs and vids out of it, but after that, they'll be on the slush pile, and the subject of a Where Are They Now question on VH-1.
Since I have already reviewed both the US and the Japan CD I will only describe the bonus disc:
The bonus disc begins quite eloquently with track one:
(1) "Sway" has the marimba Spanish styles bringing back the days of hand-to-hand dancing. The style has a nice classy melody mentioning the sound of violins, along fabulous vocals by many of the dolls. Not quite the typical American styles but more along the lines of a mix of cultures. This song is available with lyrics on the Japan Import.
Next you have a more upbeat track:
(2) "Flirt" has the highly energetic beats, super fast vocals, and quite challenging lyrics. The theme of the song is definitely worth listening to. Because while men think women are sometimes trashy for what they are dressed like the truth is not quite that. The song mentions, "You always think the worst, I just want to flirt". This is also available in the Japan Import with lyrics.
Ironically the next track simmers down to a ballad,
(3) "Stickwitu" [Avant Mix] is similar to the original however there are slight variations with Avant's touch. Unless you buy the single you won't be able to hear it along the others. This is a very soft ballad, filled with emotion, love, and much desire to stick with that special someone that has that sparkle, touch, and chemistry another can't. This was a truly astonishing production worth taking note and worth listening to. What I can't understand is why it was put in the third spot since the pace is rather slow not quite for the next.
The pace totally picks up with Snoop Dogg:
(4) "Buttons" featuring Snoop Dogg is one of my favorites since I enjoy listening to Snoop Dogg. Again, you have the catchy beats, sexy dance styles, and fast pace. The background Middle Eastern hints, combined with Nicole's vocals have a very addictive, sticky, infectious sensation. It makes the lyrics stand out by making the listener feel at ease, loose, and relaxed. While the meaning may seem controversial it really depends on what you spin on it. Snoop Dogg definitely enhances the song considerable by giving it more R&B, Hip-hop styles along tight rhymes. This is available in the Buttons single along the non-album track "Flirt".
This next song is over the top explicit and is the reason for my lower rating:
(5) Don't Cha (More Booty) Featuring Busta Rhymes takes a wild raunchy style singing many explicit lyrics that may be quite shocking to some or plain annoying to others. The imagination is not challenged, the mystery is revealed, and the message takes a different tone. The bad words in the song could have been toned down. The song replaces "In the back of your mind you know you should be on with me" to "In the back of my mind you know you should be f*****g with me.
Now you have a totally fabulous cover song that is great:
(6) Hot Stuff (I Want You Back) Remix has a very dance oriented direction, excellent deep vocals, and electronic hints. This is the cover song from Donna Summer. I would have put this track earlier perhaps on 3. The beats have variety, DJ spins, and much elevating dance swirls. Although similar to the original there is some hints of a Remix that are quite enjoyable. The Japan Import does not have this. Instead it has the Live Version. The 2 Beep singles have this remix + the live version on one of them.
Next you get ring tones, voicemail id, and text alert: [There is a slight pause before you hear them]
(7) He Always Answers [Ring back Tone] ~ This is for a guy's ring tone, not a girl. Bad move for us girls!!!!! This was rather disappointing.
(8) Vibrate Off The Table [Ring tone] ~ This could have been improved since it lacks any real excitement.
(9) Freaky Fun [Voicemail ID] ~ This was rather cute but not everyone is named Nicole.
(10) PCD [text alert] ~ A very fast alert that could have been done better.
Overall, you get the regular album songs, no lyrics, a bonus disc with 6 songs and other bonus material, and a bigger price tag. The artwork is the same. The picture you are looking at from Amazon is a cardboard type cover that goes on top. This could have been improved with a totally different cover, more bonus remixes, and a less over the top lyrical content on track 5. However, fans of the Pussycat Dolls and for the wild at heart, this may be a great selection to include in your collection.
Their claim to fame is a country-styled up-tempo pop song that they wrote about the American heartland - Greenville, Mississippi to be exact. They released the song in the UK, where Dutch pop singers had no previous record of success, and took it all the way to the top of the charts, knocking Dancing queen (Abba) off the top. It sat there for four weeks, eventually being replaced by another classic (If you leave me now - Chicago). The song was covered in America by Barbara Fairchild, a country singer who learned about Pussycat's song on a visit to Europe. Her version became a minor hit on the country charts but deserved to do much better.
Pussycat never repeated the success of Mississippi in the UK, though the follow-up, Smile, made the top thirty. Other songs that I particularly like include Georgie, If you ever come to Amsterdam and Mexicali lane.
Pussycat are not essential to a collection of seventies music but there is more to their music than Mississippi.
Taken from the 2002 album, 'Masquerade'. The title track is backed with three non-LP tracks, 'Pussycat' (Street Remix - Clean), 'Pussycat' (Blackkat Remix) & 'Two Wrongs' (So So Def Remix). Columbia.

Roll your eyes or--worse--invoke the Spice Girls all you want: Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like any one of the members of this revolving collective? Dissing the Pussycat Dolls is like denying you want a peek at the Victoria's Secret runway show--a foolhardy stance nobody's going to believe anyway. Never mind, for a moment, the semi-lewd pleasures of the disc's visuals (midriffs galore!): the pop on parade by this gang of writhers and eyelash-batters isn't bad. Nicole Scherzinger, a former member of the failed prefab teen pop act Eden's Crush, brings it with determination and carefully distributed shots of sweetness. More important, she gets high-wattage help. Busta Rhymes, Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am, and Timbaland all step in to dress up the Dolls' sound, and the songwriters' and producers behind PCD clearly know how to sexify a disc without sinking it into the gutter. What's best about the Dolls' debut, though, is its shamelessness. This is manufactured friskiness that doesn't take itself seriously; these girls don't want a Grammy, they only want to pounce. --Tammy La GorceAlbum Description
"Inside every woman is a Pussycat Doll," says Robin Antin, the creator of the singing-and-dancing ensemble that has risen from underground cool to major-label hot. "It's about female empowerment, about being confident with who you are. It's about singing and dancing in front of a mirror by yourself and having fun." With their debut album released by A&M Records in summer 2005 (led by "Don't Cha," a duet with Busta Rhymes, written and produced by Cee-Lo), the Pussycat Dolls go beyond being extraordinarily beautiful. With tremendous voices, and after working with today's top songwriters and producers, the Pussycat Dolls are ready to stamp their mark on music and on attitudes. "To me, a Pussycat Doll is fearless but also vulnerable," says lead singer Nicole Scherzinger. "We're strong but we like to play too. The line in 'Don't Cha'--'don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me'--is meant to be empowering. The Pussycat Dolls are not about just being hot but also about saying something with real feeling." From Scherzinger, who earlier scored a Top 10 album and single while in girl group Eden's Crush, to Jessica Sutta, the one-time captain of the Miami Heat dance troupe; from Carmit Bachar, the La Vida Loca girl on Ricky Martin's world tour, to Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt, two of the most talented young dancers in Hollywood, and Melody Thornton, a stunning singer chosen from an open audition, these Pussycat Dolls are the new incarnation--more contemporary, more street--of the group whose Sunset Strip performances became the hippest ticket in Hollywood.Customer Reviews:

The future of music is right here!.......2005-11-16

The One That Has You're So Vain.......2007-07-16
Perhaps in the future a better collection of songs also, why "Bottle In Front Of Me" is on here I don't know, and only 10 songs it's a poor representation of the band. They might as well put out an essential 2 CD set and put "You're so Vain" at the end. Leave off 3 or 4 songs from "Whipped", and leave off maybe 1 or 2 from each of the first 2 CD's and there you have it.
This one is lacking, even for a band that only put out 3 CD's of studio material.
i dont own this but.............2006-07-05
An excellent finisher to your Faster Pussycat catalog.......2006-03-11
The track listing on "Greatest Hits" includes a mix of songs (hits and non-singles) from the three studio albums released by Faster Pussycat between 1987-1992. The versions here are the original studio cuts, not cheap rerecorded versions or live cuts. Four of the tracks can be found on the 1987 self-titled debut, which include 'Cathouse', 'Don't change that song', 'Bathroom Wall' and 'Bottle in front of me.' While some may lament that tunes such as 'Shooting you down' and 'Babylon' were left off, keep in mind that only ten cuts are featured altogether. It is also worth noting that the self-titled Faster Pussycat effort is an album that contained no real filler, so pretty much anything would have fit on here.
The best-selling Faster Pussycat album, "Wake Me When It's Over" is also represented by four cuts. These are 'Poison Ivy', 'Slip of the tongue', 'Where there's a whip, there's a way' and 'House of Pain.' Again, there is little to be upset about regarding the track selection on this album. One more cut, 'Nonstop to nowhere', was the single from the 1992 release, "Whipped." "Whipped" was the final release by Faster Pussycat and the band went their separate ways after the commercial failure of this third studio album from the group. They did eventually reunite, which may have something to do with this album existing in the first place.
'You're So Vain' was a cover song performed by Faster Pussycat during the early 1990's. Until now, it was only able to be located on a various artists compilation album and also a limited edition ep from the band. The cover is very well done and worth the price of purchase alone, considering the low price of this greatest hits collection. A lot of fans have long demanded this song, making it a Faster Pussycat cult classic.
The negatives are that there are only ten song selections here and plenty of cuts could have easily made it onto this album. For some reason, the profanity in 'Slip of the tongue' is slickly edited out. This is the type of thing you'd see on a clean edit of a popular album. Really, it poses no problem for most people. If it matters all that much, it is easy enough to find the source album ("Wake Me When It's Over") that the tune comes from. There are no other songs edited in this fashion, so this is the only cut that doesn't appear in its original form. All ten of the tracks here do appear in full-length form, meaning they are not edited for running time. That is identical to the original albums, including 'Nonstop to nowhere' which runs close to seven minutes (a shorter radio single version of 'Nonstop' exists but thankfully that one was not used here).
Given the cost, there is no reason for a fan of Faster Pussycat to not pick this one up. This is the easiest way to locate 'You're So Vain' and it sure beats paying a hefty price for the 1992 ep it can be found on. The funny thing is that the 1987 debut, as a whole, is actually a little bit superior to this compilation. For that reason, this is one of those albums that should be purchased to finish the Faster Pussycat catalog, not start it. Most new fans looking into the band will want to start with the self-titled release, which introduced this underrated and underappreciated band to the world. That is just my opinion.
This "Greatest Hits" collection is not band approved, not that most of them are, but the liner notes and presentation on this one are both very respectable. The label that issued this collection has done similar compilations, of varying quality, for artists such as Foreigner, Twisted Sister, White Lion and Winger. Like this one, those come at the same low price and provide a good sampling of the catalog for each artist. You can't really go wrong here, not at all. Faster Pussycat "Greatest Hits" comes highly recommended. Perfect for the diehard, it is also the easiest way for the casual fan to obtain the one song that matters to most people, 'House of Pain.'
Good Overview for Casual Fan.......2005-06-22
Where it is really a valuable collection is for the song "You're So Vain", as this is the only place I've been able to find this song. It was originally done for some kind of 25th anniversary CD in 1990 for their label, and I've been unable to locate that song or that CD anywhere for years. For that reason alone it's valuable for the Faster Pussycat fan, or anyone who enjoyed this genre.

This is from the "Whatever happened to" file.
A Hollywood music milestone........2005-11-07
A major improvement over the debut, every song is memorable. 'Tattoo' is my favorite! I saw F.P. on this tour and it was obvious that they wouldn't be around forever, but at least they put some great tunes down while they were.
Only FP record worth buying, and it rocks.......2005-05-30
Perhaps that's why this fantastic 1989 release slipped through the cracks. Though it was certified Gold and had a few hit singles, few remember it today.
Stylistically, "Wake Me When It's Over" sits somewhere between Poison and Guns N' Roses: glam enough to be somewhat cheesy at points, but hard-hitting enough to be taken seriously. They have toured with both bands.
The best track by far is the power ballad "House of Pain." It is a heartfelt song with lyrics about a deadbeat dad, so it doesn't feel as dated as most other `80s ballads ("Home Sweet Home," anyone?).
Though the rest of the record is overshadowed by "House of Pain," it is consistent and high-quality nonetheless. Much of the material revolves around the `80s-metal necessity of promiscuous sex, but others cover the topics of murder ("Cryin' Shame") and abortion ("Pullin' Weeds").
Standout tracks include the aggressive "Where There's a Whip There's a Way," the swaggering "Tattoo" and the love ballad "Please Dear."
Given the record sells used for about $5 nowadays, any fan of hair metal or blues-based hard rock will not be disappointed. It is one of `80s rock's best and most underrated moments.

Actually, this group is like a long string of "girl" groups, i.e. Expose, the Flirts, Company B, the Spice Girls, the Cover Girls, Sweet Sensation and heaven knows how many others: girls that can sing kind of, look sexy with all the songs written and produced by a man (or men) with some serious sexual frustration, or perhaps trying to answer some gay or transexual questions within themselves.
Okay, that's probably a bit much; but this song is gonna be about it for the PCDs. They might get a couple more suggestive songs and vids out of it, but after that, they'll be on the slush pile, and the subject of a Where Are They Now question on VH-1.

Universal.Customer Reviews:
For The *Wild* At Heart!.......2007-04-08
Since I have already reviewed both the US and the Japan CD I will only describe the bonus disc:
The bonus disc begins quite eloquently with track one:
(1) "Sway" has the marimba Spanish styles bringing back the days of hand-to-hand dancing. The style has a nice classy melody mentioning the sound of violins, along fabulous vocals by many of the dolls. Not quite the typical American styles but more along the lines of a mix of cultures. This song is available with lyrics on the Japan Import.
Next you have a more upbeat track:
(2) "Flirt" has the highly energetic beats, super fast vocals, and quite challenging lyrics. The theme of the song is definitely worth listening to. Because while men think women are sometimes trashy for what they are dressed like the truth is not quite that. The song mentions, "You always think the worst, I just want to flirt". This is also available in the Japan Import with lyrics.
Ironically the next track simmers down to a ballad,
(3) "Stickwitu" [Avant Mix] is similar to the original however there are slight variations with Avant's touch. Unless you buy the single you won't be able to hear it along the others. This is a very soft ballad, filled with emotion, love, and much desire to stick with that special someone that has that sparkle, touch, and chemistry another can't. This was a truly astonishing production worth taking note and worth listening to. What I can't understand is why it was put in the third spot since the pace is rather slow not quite for the next.
The pace totally picks up with Snoop Dogg:
(4) "Buttons" featuring Snoop Dogg is one of my favorites since I enjoy listening to Snoop Dogg. Again, you have the catchy beats, sexy dance styles, and fast pace. The background Middle Eastern hints, combined with Nicole's vocals have a very addictive, sticky, infectious sensation. It makes the lyrics stand out by making the listener feel at ease, loose, and relaxed. While the meaning may seem controversial it really depends on what you spin on it. Snoop Dogg definitely enhances the song considerable by giving it more R&B, Hip-hop styles along tight rhymes. This is available in the Buttons single along the non-album track "Flirt".
This next song is over the top explicit and is the reason for my lower rating:
(5) Don't Cha (More Booty) Featuring Busta Rhymes takes a wild raunchy style singing many explicit lyrics that may be quite shocking to some or plain annoying to others. The imagination is not challenged, the mystery is revealed, and the message takes a different tone. The bad words in the song could have been toned down. The song replaces "In the back of your mind you know you should be on with me" to "In the back of my mind you know you should be f*****g with me.
Now you have a totally fabulous cover song that is great:
(6) Hot Stuff (I Want You Back) Remix has a very dance oriented direction, excellent deep vocals, and electronic hints. This is the cover song from Donna Summer. I would have put this track earlier perhaps on 3. The beats have variety, DJ spins, and much elevating dance swirls. Although similar to the original there is some hints of a Remix that are quite enjoyable. The Japan Import does not have this. Instead it has the Live Version. The 2 Beep singles have this remix + the live version on one of them.
Next you get ring tones, voicemail id, and text alert: [There is a slight pause before you hear them]
(7) He Always Answers [Ring back Tone] ~ This is for a guy's ring tone, not a girl. Bad move for us girls!!!!! This was rather disappointing.
(8) Vibrate Off The Table [Ring tone] ~ This could have been improved since it lacks any real excitement.
(9) Freaky Fun [Voicemail ID] ~ This was rather cute but not everyone is named Nicole.
(10) PCD [text alert] ~ A very fast alert that could have been done better.
Overall, you get the regular album songs, no lyrics, a bonus disc with 6 songs and other bonus material, and a bigger price tag. The artwork is the same. The picture you are looking at from Amazon is a cardboard type cover that goes on top. This could have been improved with a totally different cover, more bonus remixes, and a less over the top lyrical content on track 5. However, fans of the Pussycat Dolls and for the wild at heart, this may be a great selection to include in your collection.

Dutch pop group sing about Mississippi.......2004-10-05
Their claim to fame is a country-styled up-tempo pop song that they wrote about the American heartland - Greenville, Mississippi to be exact. They released the song in the UK, where Dutch pop singers had no previous record of success, and took it all the way to the top of the charts, knocking Dancing queen (Abba) off the top. It sat there for four weeks, eventually being replaced by another classic (If you leave me now - Chicago). The song was covered in America by Barbara Fairchild, a country singer who learned about Pussycat's song on a visit to Europe. Her version became a minor hit on the country charts but deserved to do much better.
Pussycat never repeated the success of Mississippi in the UK, though the follow-up, Smile, made the top thirty. Other songs that I particularly like include Georgie, If you ever come to Amsterdam and Mexicali lane.
Pussycat are not essential to a collection of seventies music but there is more to their music than Mississippi.
