Listen To This: Walk This Way
Filed under: Listen To This
The U.K. is going through a huge retro movement right now!
From Amy Winehouse to The Pipettes and Duffy, everything old is new again. And it's HOT.
The Puppini Sisters are no exception!
We don't even know if they're actually related, but this trio from London totally brings an Andrews Sisters vibe to their songs.
Their vintage twist on the '80s classic by The Bangles, Walk Like An Egyptian, is just delicious.
Enjoy it below and then CLICK HERE to check out some other tunes from the Puppini Sisters.

Very disappointed in you Perez. When Joy from The View is onto something before you there is something wrong in the world. The Puppini Sisters (not at all related and only 1 actually speaks Italian) were on The View last summer!
I THINK THEY NEED A TAN!! =P OTHERRR THEN THAT… THEy'Re oK =] lol
Fu**ing LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT,LOVE IT
you should hear their version of beyonce's crazy in love! they are so great!
i was fortunate enough to meet them and they are absolute dolls! and so gorgeous in person esp. the redhead. their look is usually more coordinated and less matchy and ti suits them perfectly. soooo much fun!
That sucked, those girls don't have half the talent that the Andrews Sisters had. If your such a musical connoisseur I can't believe that you haven't picked up on other bands like this. There is a whole culture of people who love the music of the big band/swing era and the entire culture of the time. There are people who still live like they did in the thirties, forties and fifties. The sad thing is, is that people who have been doing this for years because they genuinely love it are now going to look like lame trend followers.
Love Love Love IT!
There's retro and then there's something you'd hear on a cruise ship during the 4pm dinner buffet. Sorry but it sounds like geezer music.
nope. not related. the only puppini is the brunette…. i only know cause I got a sample cd a year or two ago with more classical swing classics.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
at least in the Uk we have a trend instead of your shity hip hop acts rapping about money and women! man i hate that shit
loves it!
very fun, and looove the harmonies
I LOVE THEMMM!
That was really good!!! I lub it long time!!
This is fantastic, what a great find.
More power to your deal with Warner… except for the alleged 50% take.
"This sounds like cock"
OMG PEREZ…YOUR LATE…THESE GIRLS HAVE BEEN HERE LOOONG BEFORE ANYONE….THEY HAVE BEEN HERE FOR SO LONG THAT THEY WERE IN THE VIEW LIKE A YEAR AGO!
I LOVE IT! I can remember dancing to this song in the high school gym! Much better version.
very cool.
EEEEWWWWW! SOMEONE IS KILLING MY CAT! Oh no, wait, THATS THE MUSIC!!! Distgusting! AH!
I am sooooo getting the cd
Pereeeeez bueno como se que te encanta ser latino te escribo en español FABULOSOOOOO el disco, creeme que escuche la rola e imediato fui a comprarlo….you're pusher!!!!! in a very good way
love your website
from mexico hugs
loved it, I just went and downloaded three more songs from itunes. Check out crazy in love.. too cool
imitating old American acts
yawn
To #112 The trend your talking about is UK taking music America has already done and re-manufacturing it all over again. And please spare me that the UK has Amy Winehouse, Adele, and Duffy cause although i think they are great they are still singers that sound like R&B/Soul singers from the US. For those interested in American talent pick up Jill Scott, Angie Stone, Erykah Badu and Chrisette Michelle. All this talk about how UK has the best talent is really making me sick.
I LOVE THE PUPPINI SISTERS–Thank you Perez!!!
They arent sisters. But they are really amazing!
*wishes the Puppini Sisters had a myspace*
:-(
Great memories!!!! Walk like An Egyptian was the first song I ever owned!
love this ! must get their stuff
Totally contrived and lame. I dig throwbacks but it's all just too perfect, nothing new, totally predictable. Please, dear god, do not let cherry poppin daddies make a comeback!
I Never post they fcukin rock!
ive loved the puppini sisters for forever! thanks perez
This is pretty cool! Reminds me of some sort of '40s song or something. XD
It was the B52-s, not the Bangles, Mr Music Man!
Oops… It WAS the Bangles. What do I know, I'm only 12.
everything old is still old. old = short term - it would have been ok if it came out before the bangles version….
It's all derivative of THE ORIGINALS: THE BOSWELL SISTERS, who are just amazing even 75 years after they recorded! Give them a listen!!!
No, no, no! The Bangles rocked this. Don't like the Andrew's sister's flair. And yes to #5, music commentary has spiked dramatically since Perez's announcement he may have a deal to review albums.
Re: Brit girl – Not true biatch. This song was first done by the AMERICAN group, The Bangles. So, get over yourself.
Re: Vera – Yeah. No shit, Sherlock. I HATE COPYCATS! This song sucked.
NOT LOVIN' IT. THE REDHEAD LOOKS LIKE A REDHEADED CHRISTINA APPLEGATE. GO TO YOUTUBE AND SEE THE BANGLES VERSION. MUCH, MUCH, MUCH BETTER. YOU WON'T BE HEARIN' THIS VERSION BLASTING FROM MY BEEMER! OH HELLS NO!
ugh. i hate these bitches. the old people pbs crowd loves them.
love it… don't forget christina started this trend again…
oooo!! the puppini sisters are coming here, to dubai, this weekend for the jazz festival!! going to be sooo hott
going to see then for the 4th time on April 1st! soo exited! the are fabulous and i cant believe its taken you this long to catch on!
Have loved them since they very first popped up on myspace about 3 years ago!
they are amazing! i saw them at the roxy a while back and they rocked the fucking house! with some twists on modern songs too! and ps, they are not related…they went to school together…xo
Nice try, but no banana, Perez.
Just because a squirrel is in a cookie jar, doesn't make that squirrel a cookie.
Marcel waves, retro hemlines, red lipstick and wishy-washy, contrived pop shit speak for themselves.
There is nothing "hot", unique, nor special about The Pimpettes. They sound like another familiar, former British trio: Bananarama. Very Stock-Aitken-Waterman.
However, The Pimpettes are likely too young to actually remember S.A.W. content - nor anything before 1988, at that.
(" 'Cruel Summer' ? Whot's THAT?")
I must say, Perez, normally I don't get into your "new artist that we love" announcements, but this one I ADORE! These girls could easily be my new favorite. Rockin'!
To someone who posted on page 1. I, too, dig the Ditty Bops, but the Puppini Sisters are a definite add to the list of faves–just fun, spunky, classy beebop music. I want them to come to Houston!
American rock music sucks big time. Get rid of all the asinine hip hop crap and gangsta rap. Only morons who have no taste listen to that garbage. Today some of the greatest rock groups are coming from the UK. The morons in the US can't even keep pace any more!
thank you for this, perez!! i've been listening to their album all night now.
That's it. That's gonna go.
Divas are fading, P. It's gonna be girlgroups. It's gonna be one or two *real* ones, and NOT Danity Kane (kaff)
The former swing dancer in me is LOVING THIS!
Really interesting, I would probably want to hear more
You act like you are so ahead of everyone but really they have been out for a while now……you need to just stick to gossip, really!
YOU ARE NOT TRENDSETTER!
WOW! Its nice to know there is still good musicians out there!!!! This is a great era in music, and they do a fabulous job! Great suggestion!!! you always know the best music!
LOVES IT!
I love the hole 40's era, its very sexy and classy! LETS GET RID OF THE 80's (they sucked) and bring back the 40's!
OMG they have been around for about 3 years and are godawful.Get a life with old and old your old UK news, fool.!!
Duffy however…brilliant.
cute. but old is not new. there have been acts like this around forever! I'm surprised you haven't done anything on Mz. Zooey Deschanel! She has an album coming out you kno!
Well it's about damn time someone brought MUSIC back. Nice to actually hear talent instead of some computer generated crap…..
it Stinks
very interesting version of that. it sounds good
FANTASTIC!
coudn't they have made their name a little LESS like The Pipettes for crissakes???
wow, amazing! i loved the bangles too, but i love the whole yodleing thing they got goin on, bitches got talent! first!
I think Ell SSS #5 is right, ever since Perez announced his music deal, the music hasn't been the same, it's almost as if he's scambling to FIND something fresh, it's not like his just coming across the songs and sharing.. So disappointing.
They've been around in the UK for a while but they've never been proper big. Still, I bought their first album [called Betcha Bottom Dollar] a year or two ago and it's magic.
They're not related though.
Christina Aguilera starting this trend. She worked so hard for her amazing Back To Basics.
Candyman rules
OMG AMAZING!!!
Thank you Perez for putting them on your website, I wouldn't of known anything about them if i did'nt see them on your site today. I love that album!!!!!!
Wow, so all the retro is cool again? Well the song was really cool, all the retro vibe sounded great on it.
perez, i love how you love ladies with classic glamour. the fact that you love dita and dig the puppini sisters makes me love YOU!
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I don't always like the music that you post… but this fantastic. top notch
they've been around since a year ago!
I see Louboutins!
The one in the middle looks like Ditta
They aren't really sisters.
I've loved them for ages, they're fab.
i am from England and there truly is a HUGE retro thingy going on right now….i luv the style …wonder how long this craze shall last??? hopefully a long time
xxxx
The Puppini sisters are fab they have been around for a while, so glad they are startign to get known in usa. You should hear their version of 'i will survive' it's such a good take on teh song!!
xx
I heard these girls first on NPR a year ago.
That was AWESEOME!
Seriously Perez, time to stop trying to find new cool UK bands. Fact is, we've heard about them way before you, and even we have already hated them for a good year. Same goes for The Pipettes.
Refreshing. I was in High School when the original came out and this revived tune hits the spot.
They are not related, but they are gorgeous anyways…
It took you THIS long to catch on to them? And I thought you were ahead of the music curve. I suppose not.
What?! NOOOOOOOOOOOO
worst.musical.taste.ever.
they aren't related, the name is a tribute to the Andrews Sisters.
:)
their version of "I will survive" is AMAZING! listen to it!
I already knew them, they are really good.
Awesome!
I love this! So cute. Their new album is awesome - GO BUY IT!
SORRY PEREZ BUT CHRISTINA AGUILERA BROUGHT THIS ANDREWS SISTERS SHIT BACK FIRST WITH CANDYMAN! (AND SHE KILLED IT ALL OVER THE WORLD)
YOU SUCK!!!! YOU THINK YOU ARE A TASTEMAKER BUT YOU ARE SOOOO LATE…
Ahh, let me guess a 19 management creation, just like Amy was?
They're good
I kinda didnt care about the original song
but I ADORE THIS ONE!!!!
I love retro. Not into this sound though…too perky by far.
keane
this is sooooo two years ago news in the UK!!!!
Pipettes rip off
