Don't Cha

Come on.

Don't cha.

Remember you were saying-

Don't cha.

Is it not a...

Do, do, do you know it?

Don't cha wish your pusher looked like Chadery?

Go on, sing it.

What's your favorite Pussycat Dolls song? 'Cause we're thinking of doing one for a nod.

Um, I think "Don't Cha." I love that one.

"Don't Cha," or "Jai Ho," we were thinking as well.

"Jai Ho" is very good as well.

Jai Ho.

...

I'm going back to Don't Cha by The Pussycat Dolls.

Interesting.

And so I go and I listen to that song- And I listened to this on a stereo, I listened to it in my car, and I've been listening on, in my headphones at work, but also, like, actual, like, reference headphones that you would use if you were-

This is what, this is what, you just buy headphones and stuff.

Yeah.

So what I found was, like, there's so many parts of this Danity Kane album where the volume doesn't feel level, the tracks don't seem balanced, things like that, and then you listen to Don't Cha by The Pussycat Dolls, and you're like, "Oh, this is polished.

There's balance." There's this thing called soundstage, so this idea that, like, different sounds are in different parts of your ear at different volumes, and it creates, like, depth across, you know, what you're listening to.

I got a free and clear.

We'll see where this ends up when physical sales are counted next week, but they'll have to do a lot to match their four previous singles, all of which made the top three, and two of which, Don't Cha and Stickwitu, of course, were number one singles.

But yes, this is that rare thing, a fifth single from an album in an era where most people can only really manage three.

It really is a testament to how big The Pussycat Dolls were, which means it's especially crazy now in 2026 that they had this, just had this disastrous tour that they had to cancel the whole American wing of.

One day, she came home from summer camp when she was five.

She was singing a song by The Pussycat Dolls called Don't Cha.

When I inquired about the appropriateness of that song for elementary school children with the lead counselor I knew well, she said that managing the high school aged counselors was much harder than the elementary school kids.

I gained compassion for the enormous difficulties she was facing, so I let it go.
