The group was founded in 2004 by Puppini after she was inspired by the 2003 animated film Les Triplettes de Belleville. The Puppini Sisters' debut single, "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", is a cover of the iconic hit single by The Andrews Sisters, and although the three are not actually related, they named themselves in tribute to them.
Puppini first studied fashion design at St. Martins School of Art, and later music at Trinity College of Music where she met Mullins and Rosanna Schura, who was later replaced by Stephanie O'Brien. The Sisters are currently supported by a three-piece band featuring the talents of Blake Wilner on guitar, Peter Ibbetson on drums/percussion and Henrik Jensen on upright bass.
The Puppini Sisters won a Gold Disc for international sales of their first CD, Betcha Bottom Dollar, in 2007. According to their official website, the album reached #2 on the US Jazz Charts and #9 on the US New Artist Chart.
Their second album The Rise & Fall of Ruby Woo was released on October 15th 2007, featuring classic covers, 1940s style reworkings of contemporary music, and a selection of original compositions. According to Billboard's official website, the album peaked at #5 in the US Jazz Charts in 2008.
The Puppini Sisters' retro-styled website won the 2008 Cream of Yorkshire awards "Gold Award" for best website.

Sway
The Puppini Sisters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dance with me, make me sway
Like the lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance, you have a way with me
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway, I go weak
I can hear the sound of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway, I go weak
I can hear the sound of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
You know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
The song "Sway" by The Puppini Sisters has a very romantic and nostalgic tone to it, which is reflected in the lyrics.

The second verse describes how when the singer and their partner dance, they have a special connection. The other dancers on the floor are of no consequence to the singer, as they only have eyes for their partner.

The song ends with a plea to the partner to sway the singer smoothly and beautifully, knowing exactly how to make them "thrill".
Overall, the lyrics of "Sway" are about the intense connection between two people when they dance. The lyrics are filled with romance and nostalgia, and paint a beautiful picture of two people swaying to the music of marimba and violins.
Line by Line Meaning
When Marimba rhythm start to play
As the music of the marimba begins to fill the air,
Dance with me, make me sway
Come dance with me and move me with your rhythm,
Like the lazy ocean hugs the shore
Embrace me like the ocean’s waves gently lapping the shore,
Hold me close, sway me more
Come closer, and let our movement become even more synchronized,
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Sway like a flower gracefully moving with the wind,
Bend with me, sway with ease
Let's bend and move together, with simplicity in our steps,
When we dance, you have a way with me
You have a special way of moving me when we dance together,
Stay with me, sway with me
Stay here with me, dancing and swaying,
Other dancers may be on the floor
There may be other dancers around us,
Dear but my eyes will see only you
But my eyes are only focused on you,
Only you have that magic technique
You're the only one with the magic touch that moves me,
When we sway, I go weak
My mind and body are overcome with emotion as we move together,
I can hear the sound of violins
I can hear the sweet and romantic sound of violins,
Long before it begins
Even before the music starts,
Make me thrill as only you know how
Thrill me with your dancing skills, in a way that only you know how,
Sway me smooth, sway me now
Take me on a smooth and gentle ride with your dance moves, do it now,
You know how
You have the power to make me feel the way no one else can,
