On 5 March 2008, at a music hall-themed fundraiser on a barge in Battersea, Corcoran and Jones decided to "mess around with a few songs," and performed pastiches of "Papa Don't Preach" (as an operatic aria), "Eye of the Tiger" (in a bluegrass style), "I'd Do Anything for Love" (sung by a young child), and "Come On Eileen" (as a heartfelt ballad.) Their performance led to a "firm booking for an hour-long show," after which the pair developed a fuller concept and "reverse-engineered some sort of coherent act into existence."{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2014/aug/19/frisky-and-mannish-behind-the-joke-beep-pussycat-dolls?CMP=twt_gu |title=Frisky & Mannish: taking the beep out of the Pussycat Dolls |work=The Guardian |date=19 August 2014 |accessdate=28 August 2014 |last1=Mannish |first1=Frisky &. }}
