"Hush Hush; Hush Hush" is a song by American female group The Pussycat Dolls from their second and final studio album, "Doll Domination" (2008).
 Written by Nicole Scherzinger, Andreas Romdhane, Josef Larossi, Ina Wroldsen, Dino Fekaris, Frederik Perren and produced by Quiz & LaRossi and Dave Audé for the remixed version, it was released as the album's sixth and final single on May 12, 2009.
 Lead and background vocals for both versions of the song are performed solely by lead singer Nicole Scherzinger.
 The release caused controversy as the single was credited as "Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger" which caused tension within the group and rumored that Scherzinger would be going solo.
The Darby Crash Band was a music project started by Darby Crash and Pat Smear, founding members of Los Angeles punk rock band the Germs, formed after the Germs split in 1980.
 They recruited bassist David "Bosco" Danford and Circle Jerks drummer Lucky Lehrer and began playing shows in Los Angeles.
 The band's setlists would include a number of well-known songs from the Germs' archives, as well as newly written material.
 The band never recorded and played only a small number of shows before Darby's death on the 7th of December, 1980.
The Germs were an American punk rock band from Los Angeles, California, United States, originally active from 1977 to 1980.
 The band's main early lineup consisted of singer Darby Crash, guitarist Pat Smear, bassist Lorna Doom and drummer Don Bolles.
 They released only one album, 1979's "(GI)", produced by Joan Jett, and were featured the following year in Penelope Spheeris' documentary film "The Decline of Western Civilization", which chronicled the Los Angeles punk movement.
Lucky Lehrer is a drummer from Los Angeles, California who was voted the best punk drummer of all-time by fanzine, "Flipside".
 He was originally trained in jazz then played in influential LA punk rock bands, particularly the Circle Jerks, Redd Kross, Bad Religion, Darby Crash Band and LA's Wasted Youth, among others.
 Lehrer also appeared in three notable documentary films charting the punk rock music scene.
 He is the brother of LA's Wasted Youth guitarist Chett Lehrer.
 Lehrer also teaches drums, with notable students being future Bad Religion drummers Pete Finestone and Bobby Schayer.
 He was an early developer of hardcore punk drumming and he has been called the "Godfather of hardcore drumming".
What We Do Is Secret is a 2007 American biographical film about Darby Crash, singer of the late-1970s Los Angeles punk rock band the Germs.
 Rodger Grossman directed the film and wrote the screenplay, based on a story he had written with Michelle Baer Ghaffari, a friend of Crash's and co-producer of the film.
 Shane West stars as Crash, while Rick Gonzalez, Bijou Phillips, and Noah Segan respectively portray Germs members Pat Smear, Lorna Doom, and Don Bolles.
Darby Crash (formerly Bobby Pyn; born Jan Paul Beahm; September 26, 1958 – December 7, 1980) was an American punk rock vocalist and songwriter who, along with long-time friend Pat Smear (born Georg Ruthenberg), co-founded the punk rock band the Germs.
 He committed suicide by way of an intentional heroin overdose.
 In the years since his suicide at the age of 22, the Germs have attained legendary status among punk rock fans and musicians alike, as well as from the wider alternative rock and underground music community in general.
 Crash has come to be revered as a unique and talented songwriter; his myriad literary, musical and philosophical influences, which varied from Friedrich Nietzsche and David Bowie to Charles Manson and Adolf Hitler, resulted in lyrics that were unusually wordy and impressionistic in the realm of punk rock at the time, immediately setting Crash and his band apart from most other Los Angeles punk groups that sprang up in the late 1970s.
Germicide is a live album by the punk rock band the Germs.
 Performing live at the Whisky a Go Go in 1977, Darby Crash and the Germs were at the beginning of their career.
 At this time, Crash performed using the name Bobby Pyn.
 Darby and the audience feud constantly throughout the show.
 Disc jockey Rodney Bingenheimer appears at the beginning as master of ceremonies, and "Belinda" briefly takes the mic to introduce the band, who she describes as "sluts".
"I Hate This Part" is a song by American girl group The Pussycat Dolls from their second album, "Doll Domination" (2008).
 The song was written by Wayne Hector, Lucas Secon, Jonas Jeberg and Mich Hansen and produced by the latter two along with Ron Fair and Nicole Scherzinger.
 It was first recorded for Nicole Scherzinger's planned solo project, "Her Name Is Nicole", but after its cancellation the song was given to the group.
 "I Hate This Part" was released on October 14, 2008 as the second international single and impacted contemporary hit radio stations on October 20, 2008 as the fourth single in the United States by Interscope Records.
 "I Hate this Part" is a dance/R&B-influenced pop song which ditches the Doll's usual sexual image in favor of introspection.
 Lyrically the song is about the conversation before a breakup.
Nicole Scherzinger ( ; born Nicole Prescovia Elikolani Valiente; June 29, 1978) is an American recording artist, actress and television personality born in Honolulu, Hawaii and raised in Louisville, Kentucky.
 She performed initially in high school plays, and studied at Wright State University before dropping out to pursue a musical career alongside the American rock band Days of the New and later auditioned for "Popstars", becoming a member of the short-lived girl group Eden's Crush.
 She rose to fame as the lead singer of the burlesque troupe-turned-recording act the Pussycat Dolls, who became one of the world's best-selling girl groups.
 During their hiatus, Scherzinger planned to embark on her solo career with "Her Name is Nicole", but it was later shelved after four singles failed to impact the charts significantly.
(GI) is the only studio album by American punk rock band the Germs.
 Often cited as one of the first hardcore punk albums, it was released in the United States in October 1979 on Slash Records with catalog number SR 103.
 The album was later released in Italy in 1982 by Expanded Music with the catalog EX 11.
 The album's title is an acronym for "Germs Incognito", an alternate name the band used to obtain bookings when their early reputation kept them out of Los Angeles-area clubs.
 After "(GI)"<nowiki>'</nowiki>s release, the band would only undertake one more recording session, for the soundtrack album to the Al Pacino's 1980 film "Cruising".
 A year after the release of "(GI)", on December 7, 1980, vocalist Darby Crash committed suicide.
