According to the Pipettes' Wikipedia page:
Their name, which is a reference to a laboratory instrument, is a nod to the experimental origins of the group. It should be noted that the groups' name is pronounced the same way as the instrument in British English: /pɪ ˈpɛt/ -- not /pai ˈpɛt/, as in American English.
See, that's why I was saying it PIE-pets, because I was remembering my bumbling years in high school chemistry. Jen was saying it PIP-ets, because that's what she'd heard other slick industry insiders saying. As it turns out, we were both right. As usual. Hooray!
Man, now I'm going to have "Your Kisses Are Wasted on Me" stuck in my head the whole rest of the day. Not a bad thing in and of itself, but unfortunately, I think my job frowns on random outbursts of doing the pony in one's cubicle.
