The Pipettes were a London-based indie Pop Revival Girl Group who had a rather chaotic history in which they produced one well-regarded album and a follow-up which ... wasn't so well received.The band's most successful lineup of Rebecca "RiotBecki" Stephens, Rose Elinor Dougall, and Gwenno Saunders was the second. Saunders replaced Julia Laird-Clowes, who left to become the singer and keyboardist for the indie band The Indelicates. After the release of their 2006 debut We Are the Pipettes, Stephens and Dougall left the band, with Dougall going onto a critically acclaimed solo career. Saunders and Monster Bobby (the group's co-creator and leader of their backing band) continued the group, recruiting replacements who also departed soon afterwards. The group's second album, 2011's Earth vs. the Pipettes, featured only Saunders and her sister Ani in the lineup, and tanked in both sales and critical reception. The band dissolved in 2011. Saunders, like Dougall before her, has since embarked on an acclaimed solo career, recording idiosyncratic electropop music in the Welsh and Cornish languages. | |

Seduction Lyric | |
| The Pipettes (Music) / int_3e7e7870 | comment |
Seduction Lyric: Songs such as "Tell Me What You Want" and "Because It's Not Love (But It's Still A Feeling)" reflect a... pretty upfront approach to relationships, though they tend to be more descriptive and cynical than actively seductive. | |

Manic Pixie Dream Girl | |
| The Pipettes (Music) / int_46290b93 | comment |
Manic Pixie Dream Girl: To a large extent the band's image, especially on the first album. The track "ABC" is the song of a girl who clearly wishes to be the manic pixie dream for a book-smart but introverted nerd. | |

All Women Are Prudes | |
| The Pipettes (Music) / int_5c36a51 | comment |
All Women Are Prudes: Despite most of their music being very definitely closer to the All Women Are Lustful camp, "Sex" is about a girl who'd rather chat than sleep with her boyfriend, and who is so bored by their sex life that she lies there having "conversations in her head" to pass the time. | |

| The Pipettes (Music) / int_65120cd1 | comment |
Good-Looking Privates: The appeal of uniforms turns out to be very much the point of "I Like A Boy In Uniform (School Uniform)". In fact, the appeal turns out to transcend gender. | |

Spoken Word in Music | |
| The Pipettes (Music) / int_8c00118f | comment |
Spoken Word in Music: "Magician Man" starts with a long spoken sketch of a woman the narrator knew when she was younger... then transitions very suddenly into the narrator being asked out by a guy at the dance and barely mentions the woman again. The following verse is also spoken, but it's much shorter. | |

Retraux | |
| The Pipettes (Music) / int_92dfffae | comment |
Retraux: The band aimed to recreate the style of girl groups from The '60s, especially on the first album. The video for "Pull Shapes", which is a Beyond the Valley of the Dolls parody/homage, definitely reflects that style. | |

Naked People Are Funny: There's a naked woman among the dancers in the "Pull Shapes" video. She's heavily pixillated out, so it's goofy rather than sexy. | |
