Here’s the video for the new Pussycat Dolls song, “When I Grow Up.” Britney Spears filmed a cameo for it, and it was cut. I really don’t understand why. Not even Britney Spears could have lowered the level of class in this video.
It’s kind of even a stretch to call this a song. It’s more like a chant you make up with your bunkmates at Girl Scout Camp or some shit.
Look, people can talk all the shit they want about bloggers, but at least I’m not gyrating on faux construction sites for a living. I mean, really.
Are they really saying “I wanna have boobies”???? Oh my god, how old are these people? So so sad…..
I think they are saying “I wanna have groupies”
See kids, this is why you don’t want to be a tranny when you grow up.
pheeee…ewwwww ! tis a stinker indeed !
i couldn’t get through 2 minutes of this crap.
dare i say the britney cameo might have made it better.
This could be worse?? ::shudder::
To be fair, it’s actually real scaffolding. They filmed it last week outside the Hollywood and Vine Metro stop, where they’re building the new Hollywood W Hotel and Condos. I saw them filming and I was shocked that W agreed to it, because it was exactly what it looks like on film – some dirty looking hos humping scaffolding.
Wow, that sucked. And looked cheap, too (I mean the production values, goes without saying that the tranny whores looked cheap too).
untalented tranny-looking hobags.
Ouch @ the other comments, but though I’ve found myself humming this tune for the past week, this vid is rather bad. Even their appearance on “So you think you can dance” was so-so. Try again, PCD.
I bet their parents are real proud of them. I know that’s what I want my daughter to be when she grows up (Not!)
Like nails on a chalkboard. Ick.
Britney Spears actually wanted to appear in a video with these skeevy no-talent hobags? Are you serious? Was it part of pre-trial diversion?
I have a confession: I actually kinda like this song. At first I was really getting what you said about it, Beet, but the ha-ha-ha-ha’s are so cute. I only watched 37 seconds. I think it’s adorable how it reminds me of a crappy 80’s show.
They are sluts, it is Le Fact, but they’re still cool.
I am so confused how songs like this and “hollerback girl” and “fergilicious” etc, are actually produced and sold. Like I’m pretty sure I made up songs similar to these when I was like 10 years old…yikes.
I thought they said “I wana have boobies” too. My instant counter-thought: “maybe next time.” hehe (the line is groupees. They just mumble and/or auto-tune on the ol’ pro tools so it is hard to understand them.)
At the very least they have their priorities in life down. *frown*
Welp… if I had to guess, I imagine Britt’s people pulled her. She or some minder probably watched this and said… “holy shit this sucks. Get britt outa there stat!”
As far as the song goes I thought it was sonic torture. The arpeggio “ha-ha-ha-ha”s got to me. My nieces heard it from the front room (13,12,8, & 6). They bounced around, grabbed an mp3 for their players, and scampered off to look up the pussycat dolls on the interwebtubes.
*sigh* I’m pretty sure that makes me old. I had no idea they were a kid’s “pop group” (more like a stage act as they can’t sing and can’t play instruments). I’m pretty sure I’d have been interested in seeing them when I was 13ish.
(As a point of note, my Bro thought they said boobies as well. He spit beer and grinned like a cheshire cat, “Did they just say boobies? HAHAHAHA!”)
And beet-beet: If you want to do a video, gyrating or not, I am 100% certain you could do better. (And gyrating would be a plus by the way. I am for gyration.)
This is girl power? The freedom to look and act like a cheap whore?
I liked the close to the end no lyrics beat and choreography. Overall- this is female power. The type you find on Bratz. After all burlesque is now a 3+ demographic. A demographic they MUST be trying to target with this set of Bratz dolls in Barbie bumper car traffic. How do I know? When I grow up … sang by full grown women..
The lyrics that didn’t make it but should have
When I grow up ….. I wanna be famous…..
I wanna be star…. I wanna have boobies…..
I made it as far as 1.06 before giving up in disgust. I am practically shocked speechless. The american music industry has a lot to answer for, and then apologise profusely for…
i could only take 30 excruciating seconds myself. we’re all going to die now.
yeah, that sucked.
The song is too shitty lol.. But then again.. It’s the pussycat dolls.. What were we expecting?….. I wanted to see Britney though, she must be pissed they cut her off the video..
23 seconds & I had to stop it. That says a lot
Yes, Donkey. It is.
Their performance at the MTV Movie Awards was a lot better than the video in my opinion. I really liked the song there. This video is meh. I think the PCD are a lot better live, since their whole schtick is sexy live dancing. The only filmed bit I’ve enjoyed was Buttons.
