Potential Track Idea

Amongst our group, our first track idea is a song called Stripper by Soho Dolls, released in 2006.



The song has a music video already, but it is not very good and the band are not famous enough for this to be classed as a 'hit'. The band don't seem to be together anymore as their official website has been replaced with one solely about Maya Von Doll, the lead singer.

The group, from London, are classed as electro but there is defintely a rocky element to their music. In their own words, their sound is a mash-up of "decaying and desperate glamour" and "savagery and sex", and although I'm not entirely sure what that means, it shows they are quite eclectic!

Although there are men in the band, the lead singer is female so the backing singers and musicians could just as easily be girls, making their music perfect for us to "perform" in our video, being an all-female group.


The song was used in an episode of series 1 of Gossip Girl, an American teen drama, so many people will recognise the song but probably not know who it is by. Their songs have also been used on shows including The Hills and The Vampire Diaries, suggesting that their core market is teenage girls/young women.


Here are the song's lyrics:

Well ana you're late
And maya, i'm here.
The boys in the band,
Decide to appear.
We walk through the door
Savour the air.
The girls on the floor,
I've come here to stare.
We've come here to stare.

Dont touch the girls,
Dont kiss the girls,
I have the right to pull the girls.
Get in a fight,
On every night,
The scratches, the bruises and the bites.
But i wanna touch,
And i wanna kiss,
And if you say no then i will persist,
With you tonight,
You'll make it right.
You know that you're wetting my appetite.


You can call me x,
You can call me y,
You can call me z,
You can come and try.
Come and try.


Dont know what you think you're doing to me,
(Hey! Stripper, Hey! Stripper)
Dont know what you see its getting to me,
(Hey! Stripper, Hey! I wanna be your mister)
Na na, Na na, Na na, Na na, Na
Na na, Na na, Na na, Na na, Na
Na na, Na na, Na na, Na na, Na
Na na, Na na, Na na, Na na, Na


Like you're perfume,
Your skin is smooth.
The way you move,
Im in the mood.
Tease the crowd,
Please the crowd,
I'm boiling i want you to see me now.
You get me girl,
When you're nervous well,
And when your hand is in the thong.
You may be right,
I close them tight,
You're saving the best for me tonight.


You can call me x,
You can call me y,
You can call me z,
You can come and try.
Come and try.


Dont know what you think you're doing to me,
(Hey! Stripper, Hey! Stripper)
Dont know what you see its getting to me,
(Hey! Stripper, Hey! I wanna be your mister)
Na na, Na na, Na na, Na na, Na
Na na, Na na, Na na, Na na, Na
Na na, Na na, Na na, Na na, Na
Na na, Na na, Na na, Na na, Na


I've come to stare,
I've come to stare,
You like me to stare?
I like your underwear.


I've come to stare,
I've come to stare,
You like me to stare?
I am a voyeur.

We have been able to cut it to just under three minutes. The lyrics are quite strange but they have allowed us to come up with some really creative ideas for our video.
