A cover version of "Right Now" appears on PCD, the 2005 debut album for The Pussycat Dolls. The Dolls used the arrangements that singer Siouxsie and her band The Creatures had brought to the version in 1983, including the introduction with the "palala pam pam" sung by the female singers, and the clicked fingers that marked the tempo. These arrangements were not present on the original version by Mel Tormé.
The Dolls version was released on the 23 January 2007 via iTunes as a digital downloadable single. "Right Now" is the first single the Dolls have released endorsing a product or show. As of February 2007 "Right Now" is being used as the alternate opening and 'bumper' theme to the NBA on ABC in the United States. For the NBA version the lyrics were slightly reworked (possibly by The Dolls' lead singer Nicole Scherzinger). In the original album version Carmit Bachar sings the second verse. The new version is sung entirely by Scherzinger.
Before it started on 24 September 2006, ABC used this song to promote the first episode, "Listen to the Rain on the Roof", of the third season of Desperate Housewives.

Famous quotes containing the words dolls and/or version:
“Why are all these dolls falling out of the sky?
Was there a father?
Or have the planets cut holes in their nets
and let our childhood out,
or are we the dolls themselves,
born but never fed?”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out from there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm; therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the sabbath day.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 5:15.
See Exodus 22:8 for a different version of this fourth commandment.
