SEATTLE -- It appears the bikini coffee stand culture is spilling into pop culture.

A local band is about to release a song about the scantily-clad ladies.

Quickie, a self-described "pop punk" band from Seattle, has put together a song aptly named "Bikini Barista."

"The story line's really funny. You know, it's really tongue in cheek, just like all of our other stuff."

Lou Trez, lead singer of the three-man band, says he's never actually been to any of the bikini espresso stands, but says the song has been brewing in the band members' heads for about a year now.

"It's really kind of a hot topic," he said. "(We said), 'Let's record it, and have some fun!'"

They may have never sipped on coffee poured by nearly nude women, but the band members are familiar with the taste of fame.

Quickie's songs have been featured in the show "Vampire Diaries" on CW and in the movie "Our Lips are Sealed" featuring the Olsen Twins. You might have also heard Quickie's work on ESPN and Fox Sports.

"Bikini Barista" will be released as a single at the iTunes Store on Tuesday.
