00:00Hi, we're the Pussycat Dolls, and this is our Billboard Chart History.
00:21Hans, we gotta go over this choreo, right?
00:24Don't you?
00:25I still got it.
00:30Don't you wish your girlfriend was...
00:45Debut at 95, but peaked at number two.
00:47I thought we was number one!
00:51What kind of show is this, Billboard?
00:54Come on, Billboard, let's get it back.
00:56Maybe now we're doing this next round, we can push it to number one.
00:58Yay!
00:59You know what I mean?
01:01We're coming for you, Natasha Butterfield.
01:04But Jonesha made us splash around the world.
01:08It was unbelievable.
01:10Yeah.
01:10I remember them saying, we're going to put Busta Rhymes on this track, and I called my mom.
01:14Dangerous.
01:15I was like, Mama P, Busta Rhymes is going to be in our song.
01:17She was like, what?
01:18I was like, we've made it!
01:21It was so insane.
01:22It was so insane.
01:23It was crazy.
01:24I mean, who knew with that song?
01:25Like, we didn't know how infectious it was going to be.
01:29Yeah.
01:29How, you know, the people would embrace it all over the world, internationally.
01:35So much love.
01:36Thank you so much to CeeLo Green for writing that song.
01:40But CeeLo, what a beautiful spirit that man is.
01:44Yeah.
01:45Meeting him and being in his presence.
01:46He was just so grounded and so loving and held so much space for us in that moment.
01:51And then to see him do his thing with Donald Sparky and Crazy.
01:59So we had worked with CeeLo for Don'tcha.
02:03And we were like, okay, what's that next song?
02:06Grab me a CD.
02:07Yes.
02:08I was in the studio with him, and he's playing me a bunch of stuff.
02:10He played me a song called Crazy.
02:13Honey, you heard it first.
02:15And I said, well, that's not our song.
02:20That's your song.
02:22Nobody can touch that song.
02:24Then we were touring, came back to L.A.
02:27And I was driving up to, like, the record plant in my car.
02:30And I was like, they were like, that's Crazy by Gnarls Barkley.
02:34I was like, who is Gnarls Barkley?
02:37Isn't that crazy?
02:38It's crazy.
02:41I do remember that when we first heard that beat, I was like, oh, this is a goodie.
02:46It's kicking in.
02:47We're ready.
02:47Don't you wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?
02:51Like me?
02:52Don't you?
02:56When I grow up, I want to be famous.
02:58I want to be a star.
02:59I want to be a boobie.
03:00When I grow up, I want to be a star.
03:03I want to be a boobie.
03:05Everybody thought we were saying boobies.
03:07We were saying boobies.
03:08We were saying boobies.
03:08What?
03:09But we were saying groupies while doing this around our boobies.
03:13The colors and sparkles.
03:16Yeah.
03:16We worked with the best music producers.
03:18Wait.
03:18Wait.
03:20Was Don't You Paul Hunter?
03:22Yes.
03:23Don't You was Paul Hunter.
03:24Yes.
03:24Then we had-
03:25Francis Lawrence.
03:26Francis Lawrence.
03:27And then Joseph Kahn.
03:28Joseph Kahn.
03:29Wild.
03:29That was in the middle of Hollywood Boulevard.
03:32We actually shut down the street to dance on this scaffolding that was not stable.
03:37We shut down the traffic.
03:38We didn't shut down traffic.
03:39We didn't shut down traffic.
03:41The traffic was still coming by.
03:41They would stop traffic.
03:42We would have to film a few dance scenes.
03:45Oh, yes.
03:45And while the traffic was honking, they're like, okay, stop for a second.
03:48Yeah.
03:48Let the traffic go.
03:50And then we would wait.
03:51And then we'd cut back off.
03:52Preset again.
03:53Then it was like, the pressure.
03:54The scaffolding also was not stable.
03:57Let's just also talk about that.
03:57She was a little wiggly.
03:59She was a bit wiggly.
04:00We were like, is this safe?
04:01Meh.
04:02It was worth it is what it was.
04:03We still did it anyway.
04:04We still did it.
04:05Oh, my God.
04:05Didn't you guys have to do like these insane backward head rolls too?
04:09Yes.
04:10Then we danced on the cars on that one as well.
04:12Yeah.
04:13That was crazy.
04:14Brittany did make a cameo.
04:15Almost.
04:16Almost.
04:17She did film it.
04:18She filmed it.
04:19But it didn't quite make it.
04:21Her team wasn't too keen.
04:22Yeah.
04:23Also, the-ography, that arm choreography, I mean, had its moment amongst like the dance world.
04:28Classic.
04:29Do you remember, we're doing a walking down Hollywood Boulevard, wouldn't it have been?
04:33And we'd go into a pose and you walked sort of between my leg and the post box.
04:39Oh, yes.
04:39But if you see in the video, the post box isn't a real post box.
04:42I think it's a prop, so it just sort of tilts as it comes through.
04:46Really?
04:46That's so funny.
04:47It kills me every time.
04:48Everyone's going to go watch that now.
04:49Go find it.
04:50Oh, shout out to Dark Child Rodney Jerkins for that song.
04:53Love him.
04:54He's an incredible human being.
04:56Brilliant.
04:56We love you, Rodney.
04:58When I grow up, be on TV.
05:00People know me.
05:01Be on magazine.
05:06Nobody gonna love me better.
05:09I'm gonna stick with you forever.
05:12Nobody gonna take me higher.
05:16I'm gonna stick with you forever.
05:17I'm gonna stick with you forever.
05:17I remember I had my bangs and I was going through sort of that short choppy era with the hair.
05:22I don't know if that was my best look, the whole stick with you, but I love the song.
05:27Yeah, I thought it was sweet.
05:28We all lived so young in the video.
05:30Yeah, little babies.
05:31My gosh, we were babies.
05:32We had Cupid?
05:34We had Zeus.
05:35Zeus?
05:35Yeah.
05:36Your little child.
05:37Oh, that's right.
05:37A little white child made a cameo.
05:40Oh, rest in peace, Zeus.
05:41Yeah, Zeus.
05:42Sweet Zeus.
05:44He was small but mighty, that thing.
05:45This song in particular, still to this day, one of my friends, like whenever we have a little drink,
05:50have a little girls night out, we'll get back in the car.
05:52And she, by the way, doesn't drink, but she's always the designated driver.
05:56She's like, okay, Ash, you've had a few cocktails.
05:58Can we put it on?
05:59And she bangs this track and just has a scene together.
06:02It's really sweet.
06:03Yeah.
06:03I love it.
06:04I don't know if you all know this little known fact.
06:07So when I first heard the song, Ron Fair played it.
06:13And I was like, I think this song was for Mary J. Blige.
06:17Really?
06:18No way.
06:19Yeah.
06:19And I was like, no, we need this song.
06:21I can't even imagine.
06:22And I love Mary.
06:23I can't even imagine Mary on it.
06:25I know.
06:25I know.
06:25So it was meant to be our song.
06:28Yeah.
06:29That's a funky old family.
06:30I know, it's a blessing too.
06:32Yeah.
06:32But it is the song.
06:34When we perform it, the whole place knows every single word, every lyric, all the lights
06:39from the phones go up.
06:41Yeah.
06:41It's that moment to remember.
06:42It is that moment.
06:42I can't wait to have that again.
06:44And you know what?
06:44I'm actually really proud of that song because I think our first single was Don't You?
06:49And our second single was Stick With You.
06:51And I remember that because I was like, okay, people are going to expect us to come out
06:56with buttons.
06:57Then we had to write buttons.
06:58But Stick With You was like, we wanted to give them something different.
07:02Yeah.
07:02That's right.
07:03Follow Up Don't You was something so different.
07:05Yeah.
07:05Pulled upon the heartstrings a little bit.
07:07We're like, you think you know, but you don't.
07:09That's great.
07:10Keep on guessing.
07:10It was a good call.
07:12Well done.
07:12It worked out.
07:13Yeah, well done on that call.
07:14When I heard the song, before it was our song, I would sit in my car and just listen
07:22to it.
07:22I remember driving home one night and I'd sit in the car and I'd just listen to it on
07:26repeat and would just dream.
07:28That's how I felt.
07:29It's a feel good song, isn't it?
07:31Like, you know, just the melody comes in and it makes you feel light and like fluffy and
07:35connected.
07:37So it's a goodie.
07:38Like an easy listening.
07:39Yeah.
07:39Yeah.
07:40Yeah.
07:40Yeah.
07:41Yeah.
07:42Yeah.
07:42Yeah.
07:43Yeah.
07:46Yeah.
07:46Yeah.
07:54Yeah.
07:56It was freezing.
07:58They're like, act like you're warm and enjoying life.
08:02It was crazy.
08:04It was crazy.
08:05It was crazy.
08:05But it looked, it looked beautiful.
08:06And I mean, the movie.
08:08The movie was so beautiful, right?
08:11To be attached to something like that.
08:13It was quite iconic.
08:14It was an honor to work with A.R. Rahman.
08:16Yeah, it was.
08:16Brilliant, brilliant producer, writer.
08:19And I felt very fortunate because I got to write the English adaptation of that because
08:26it was a big song before we did it.
08:28It was for Slumdog Millionaire.
08:30It was in their language.
08:32Esther Dean was on that, writing that as well.
08:34Ron Fair really helped out with all that.
08:36It was amazing.
08:37And we actually did that when we were in London.
08:40Yes.
08:41Yes.
08:42And people love that song.
08:43Around the world.
08:45That song.
08:45It's those drums.
08:46It's A.R. Rahman's beats are like tribal.
08:50Yeah.
08:50Primitive.
08:55I'm excited for us to reimagine and re-envision that on stage.
08:59I think we can make it really something special.
09:02Yeah, definitely.
09:02I'm excited for that.
09:03Yeah.
09:04I know.
09:04I feel like the damn choreography.
