Josie & The Pussycats - 3 Small Words

Music video clip

[@AlecDamiano]

I'm not ashamed of liking this movie or soundtrack. As a matter of fact, I think Josie and the Pussycats rock a lot harder than most of today's mainstream artists. :)

[@henrykujawa4427]

My favorite all-girl "bar band" of the late 90s was THE FRIGGS (mostly based in NYC). When I saw the movie, it kinda of reminded me of them, if they'd gotten a big record label contract. Palmyra Delran is still doing FABULOUS stuff, and in addition, is an internet-radio DJ on weekends.

[@Actually_A_Biscuit]

I get this comment is almost older than me, but this rocks harder than ANY modern music. Especially mainstream music.

[@nitroglitch45]

Still true in 2023

[@martinmurphy4852]

You are 100 percent correct. Now go buy a B52s album those girls were funny talented and just wonderful.

[@keithoreilly4878]

It's one of the most honest movies about the Record Business ever made.

[@mrece2002]

Just met all 3 of them today earlier! I feel so lucky they did their reunion in DC

[@tuxedomark]

This is such a fun movie with an uplifting, kick-ass soundtrack. How did it ever bomb?!

[@SSOdyssey]

it bombed?.. 53% on Rotten Tomatoes I guess it did. I always loved it.

[@sycoraxrock]

It wasn’t promoted well - it looked like it was gonna be a so-so teenybopper/nostalgia thing, like the Scooby Doo movie with Matthew Lillard, instead of the hilariously insightful pop satire it was. Considering how savage it was towards the whole “star-making” MTV game, ya gotta wonder if Hollywood sorta decided to let it die. In an alternate universe, Kay Hanley won an Oscar for Best Song and the movie spawned a whole extended universe of clever reinventions of Hanna-Barbara properties.

[@TylerPKegger]

Honestly I loved this movie as a kid music but now that I’m 23 and watch it it’s all one big advertisement of movie.

[@ThePorpoisepower]

Granted it's messaging smacks you in face with skillet... but the cast had great charisma and energy. It was also hilariously funny.

[@4touchdowns1game29]

because the movie looks retarded but actually has deep satire and undertones. sucks because it's really a smart movie and the promotions made it look like some typical 90s crap flick.

[@justiceroarknathanronzales958]

It took SIX whole hours and FIVE long days for (FOUR) all your lies to come undone. And those THREE small words were way too (TWO) late. Can't you see that I'm the ONE... ============ and that my friends is why this song is so catchy...

[@katmurray2180]

Idk how this movie had such an influence on me. I begged my mom to take guitar lessons so I could learn all the songs. I did. My teacher was so nice and happy. I decided to quit musical theater and go to school for music ed. I’ve been a music teacher for 8 years. I love it so much.

[@tula1433]

ICON!

[@DngrDan]

That's awesome honestly

[@MelancholyRequiem]

I remember seeing this for the second time in theatres on my 11th birthday in 2001. I was the Melody in my BFF trio and we were trying to start our own band, True Lies. It never got off the ground, but I took guitar lessons because of this movie, which in turn led me to joining my junior high's band, which led to me joining my high school's marching band. I even wore my officially-licensed pink leopard cat ear headband to school every single day for two years, which all the cool kids are wearing these days, but back then, it's how my first love Chris started talking to me. It's amazing to look back on this movie, now that I'm 32, and realize just how much of my life it changed singlehandedly. To all my other 90s babies, if you're reading this, I hope all the dreams you had back in 2001 are coming true. Keep rocking, best of luck, and much love. ❤

[@empac8631]

Were your cat ears special, though?

[@MelancholyRequiem]

@empac8631 I thought so! I got made fun of for it quite a bit at the time and eventually the school banned such headwear because of how often the other kids stole them from me. I ended up wearing them in one of the front belt loops of my jeans until I moved on to junior high. It's insane the random things you remember!

[@Subilon]

As a drummer myself I always loved seeing Tara Reid wailing on the drums.She has the cutest smile especially in the opening song.

[@katie2606]

it took me 20 years to realize the chorus is a countdown

It's 2022 and this song just popped in my head. 90s baby here 😊

Very definition of an underrated movie and band, letters to Cleo. With the crap released these days even back door lover would be a top 10 single

[@movieswithsammykitty]

I love Rahcel Leigh Cooks hair in this movie! The soundtrack is really great, too.

[@erickmazur807]

She is gorgeous

[@sskuse27]

Actually, they all had to learn to play their instruments aswell as the songs for the movie. The Director wanted it to be "as real as possible" for the ladies playing their instruments, they also went through vocal training.

[@thewolfandbird]

Yes they went to band camp and they did really good on the learning to look authentic when playing. Love it. So much better than just completely faking it. However they didn't learn fast enough to actually play so it is dubbed. Kay from Letter to Cleo sings. Still a fantastic song and they did a great job. Even drunk and drug addled Tara Reid did pretty good.

[@erickmazur807]

I'd buy the raw cuts

[@amiegamble1678]

@@thewolfandbird Rachel can sing. She just doesn't have the right sound or a strong enough voice for the sound they wanted, if I remember correctly.

[@isetthem]

They all sang backup vocals on most of the songs. They sang on this one.

[@danwest3825]

This tune should have blown up the charts for real, what a kick ass tune with so much energy

[@jadedheartsz]

the soundtrack apparently did sell pretty well.

[@surrenderjones7439]

This to me is a great look at early 2000s fashion, the clothes, hair, and accessories it’s all perfect.

[@kimberlytaylor5886]

I watched Josie and the Pussycats as a kid back in the 70’s. Loved them, especially Josie. I have a thing for redheads ❤️. When this movie was first announced, I was excited. I wasn’t expecting it to be so hilarious. Those 3 actresses really brought it together and played their parts well. I was disappointed that Sebastian wasn’t in it.

[@TheAnimedrummer]

The 2000s called. They coming back better than ever

[@richardsztajer2508]

They are great!! Those 3 small words did it in for me! Love them all!

[@hotelvasthorizon]

Wow, blast from the past. I had the soundtrack and everything. This was my favorite song and it still holds up

[@largol33t12]

I remember watching this. I wanted Josie's CD player but woah, it cost $130 used on Ebay! I sometimes wonder if the movie's popularity caused the price to shoot up. Interestingly it was completely waterproof. That's why it had to weird flaps. They clamp the lid shut so water can't seep in.

[@Deuusey]

When I was kid and I first saw this movie, I loved it so much I went and got my hair cut like Josie, But my mom wouldnt let me dye it red. Even though I love my long hair, and short hair usually looks bad on me, Im SO tempted to do it again. And this time I can do the red.

[@siliconvalley6280]

You did it?

[@pinksky86]

I did the same thing when I saw this movie. Got the haircut, but couldn’t dye it. Now I have long hair, but it’s red. I love it.

Josie and the Pussycats came out during the hey day of the pop punk era which rode very strong between 1994-2003. But like most other fads, it died sadly.

[@joecool9739]

90s-early 2000s The era of grunge, nu metal and pop-punk Coincidentally this was the last era where Rock was a dominant genre with their own radio stations and such After American Idiot by Green Day, Rock never really reclaimed its musical eminence The same kids that were the chief consumers of 90s-early 2000s Rock had already transitioned to Rap by that point...mainly on the back of Eminem

So I had a version of this song growing up that had people from the movie saying "Josie? Is that Josie?" and ending with a promo for the movie. It worked really well.

[@jamesteegardner2273]

SAME! I remember downloading this song from Napster like it was yesterday, even though it was like 22 years ago! It had Tara Reid saying "friends first" at one point, and it definitely ended with an ad for the movie. I also can remember getting all of my friends together to watch this movie when it finally came to Blockbuster. We were all in our 20s, and guys, so I had to lie to them saying that Tara Reid had a topless scene in the movie; that was the only way to get them all to agree with giving the movie a chance. It's funny; my friends all made fun of me for wanting to watch this movie cause it was supposedly a "chick flick," but by the time the movie ended we all agreeded on 2 things: 1. Rosario Dawson is the hottest of the 3 Pussycats. 2. The movie rocked... literally! It was very funny and it had a great soundtrack! Even though there wasn't a topless Tara Reid scene, all of my friends still enjoyed it, and they weren’t even mad that I lied to them.
