Gwenno and Ani Saunders were singers in the group with Gwenno occasionally taking to the keyboard.
The Pipettes, at that time consisting of Julia Clark-Lowes, Rose Elinor Dougall, and Becki Stephens and their backing band, The Cassette, formed at a seaside party in Brighton in 2003 and entertained audiences with their trademark polka dot dresses, doowop anthems and choreographed hand movements.
Their first major single, Dirty Mind, reached #61 in the UK singles charts with the follow-up, Your Kisses Are Wasted on Me, reaching #35 in April 2006. Their album, We Are the Pipettes, was released on 17th July including the new single, Pull Shapes which reached #26 in the UK Top 40 Singles Chart, after being released on 3rd July. We Are the Pipettes reached #41 in the album charts after its first week of release. Judy was the 4th single to be released from We Are the Pipettes; it failed to reach the UK Top 40, coming in at #46. However, it did reach #1 on the Indie Chart.
In 2005, The Pipettes completed successful headline tours in the UK and Europe, as well as high-profile support slots with The Magic Numbers, Graham Coxon, British Sea Power and The Go! Team, that has won them fans in high places including Radio One DJ Huw Stephens, and Radio 2's Mark Radcliffe.
A very small tour of America took place in early 2007; every show played was sold-out, culminating in six successful showcases at SXSW 2007. A tour of the UK and Europe in April and May 2007 was followed by a tour across north america, coinciding with the release of the EP Your Kisses are Wasted on Me in the US which reached #5. Through summer 2007 they played a number of festivals in Europe and Japan. October saw a tour of North America, although delayed by visa difficulties, along with the US launch of We Are The Pipettes, including two new songs. A Japanese launch followed with a Japanese tour in December, and 2008 was seen in by the band with a mini-tour in Australia.
In February 2008, Gwenno and Becki appeared at several events without Rose, namely a DJ set in Glasgow and three gigs with Mark Ronson in Brighton and London, leading to speculation that he would be producing their second album.
On April 18th 2008, The Pipettes announced the departure of Rose and Becki, meaning that the group now featured none of the original singers. They were replaced with Ani (Gwenno's sister) and a BRIT School graduate, Anna McDonald. They also reported they were currently demoing twenty to twenty-five new songs with a view to recording their second album in the summer of 2008.
The new lineup made its debut at Corsa Presents Bandstand with Mark Ronson on May 3rd 2008. The band performed Because It's Not Love (But It's Still A Feeling).
On November 12th 2008, the band announced another departure; this time of Anna, who had only been in the band for seven months. Anna's unexpected decision to leave and concentrate on her songwriting meant the band had to cancel their appearance at Sŵn Festival.
On February 11th 2009, the band posted a video blog on their website to introduce the newest Pipette, Beth Mburu-Bowie. With Beth, they are currently finishing work on their second album.
Previous members of the band include Julia Clark-Lowes (now of The Indelicates), Rose Elinor Dougall, Becki Stephens, Joe van Moyland (now of Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong) and Anna McDonald.

One Night Stand
The Pipettes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At four in the morning, not a stitch to wear
'Cause you ignored my warning
You thought it was special, you thought I was wrong
Now I'm telling you baby, as I sing this song
I don't love you, I don't want you
If you think that this is cruel
I don't love you, I don't want you
Leave me alone, you're just a one night stand
I saw you across a crowded room
You smiled at me and made my heart go boom
I looked at the score sheet and saw a seven
So I walked up to you and said
Baby did it hurt when you fell from heaven?
I don't love you, I don't want you
If you think that this is cruel
Then you should see what my friends do
I don't love you, I don't want you
Leave me alone, you're just a one night stand
You're just a one night stand, you're just a one night stand
I don't love you, I don't want you
If you think that this is cruel
Then you should see what my friends do
I don't love you, I don't want you
Leave me alone, you're just a one night stand to me
The Pipettes's song One Night Stand tells a story of a woman who meets a man at a crowded room and ends up having a one night stand with him. However, the woman realizes that the man misunderstood the nature of their encounter and believes he has a chance at a relationship. The lyrics convey her attempt to set the record straight and make it clear that it was just a one-time thing and she doesn't love or want him. Although it might sound harsh, she warns him that he should see what her friends do if he thinks her actions are cruel.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I don't love you, I don't want you, leave me alone, you're just a one night stand," emphasizing her firm stance on the matter. The first verse describes the aftermath of their encounter, with her leaving at four in the morning and not having anything to wear. The man ignored her warning that they shouldn't see each other again and thought their night together was special. However, the woman's position is clear, and she's not interested in pursuing anything further.
The second verse describes how their encounter began, with the man smiling at the woman and her approaching him with a cheesy pick-up line. It's clear that the woman was just looking for a fun night and wasn't interested in pursuing anything beyond that. The song's lyrics are honest and straightforward, and they reflect the attitude of many people who engage in one night stands.

I left you alone
I walked out on you
At four in the morning, not a stitch to wear
I left in the middle of the night without even getting dressed
'Cause you ignored my warning
I warned you that it was just a one night thing and you didn't listen
You thought it was special, you thought I was wrong
You got the wrong idea and thought it was more than just a hookup
Now I'm telling you baby, as I sing this song
Through this song, I'm telling you loud and clear that it was just a one time thing
I saw you across a crowded room
I noticed you from afar
You smiled at me and made my heart go boom
Your smile caught my attention and made me feel fluttery
I looked at the score sheet and saw a seven
I rated your attractiveness as good but not great
So I walked up to you and said, Baby did it hurt when you fell from heaven?
I used a cheesy pickup line on you
Leave me alone, you're just a one night stand
You need to move on because to me, you were just a one time hookup
You're just a one night stand, you're just a one night stand
To reiterate, you were never anything more to me than a one night stand
Leave me alone, you're just a one night stand to me
It's time for you to move on because you were never anything more than that to me
