YMMV / The Pipettes

Go To

  • Les Yay: Quite separate from the explicit bisexuality in "School Uniform", a few of their songs have this feeling.
    • "Magician Man" spends the first half describing a woman in fond detail, and then transitions very suddenly into the narrator being asked out by a man— who gets no description at all. He doesn't seem very important, not compared to the girl doing the Charleston.
    • "Judy" is a story about a girl making fast friends with a Bad Girl, and includes gems like "I know I'm not as hot as you" and "Mum always asks me where I've been when I'm with Judy".
  • Narm Charm: A massive part of their appeal. Especially present in "Baby, Just Be Yourself", the closer to We Are The Pipettes.
    I can see that you're unhappy,
    And it's getting you down
    And that pretty face of yours looks bad
    Wearing a frown.
