Pussy Riot are back with an single that celebrates the vagina and hits back at Donald Trump after his "grab them by the pussy" boast.

The Russian punk band debuted the 'Straight Outta Vagina' song on Tuesday, featuring Pussy Riot's balaclava-clad Nadya Tolokonnikova wearing white clerical robes and recruiting a young girl in a church.

Other scenes show women standing at urinals and men in high heels - and an inflatable duck.

Among the lyrics is the catchy sentence: "If your vagina lands in prison / Then the world is gonna listen," a reference to the 16 months Tolokonnikova and Pussy Riot co-founder Masha Alyokhina spent in a Russian prison after their anti-Putin punk prayer in Moscow.

"Female power and female sexuality are yet need to be discovered. Discussed. Performed. Lived up," the band wrote along the video on YouTube.

"Women were slaves of the world for centuries. Women’s got their right to vote less than 100 years ago. Russia (1917), US (1919), Switzerland (1971). We’re still just about to build another roles, norms, ethics for vaginas owners."

"And the owner of vaginas is not some narcissistic stupid orange ape who’d claim that he could easily grab women by their pussies," the band wrote in reference to Trump's comments.

"The owner of vagina is a woman. Who wears her vag as a badge of honour," it continues.

"Pussy is the new dick, ladies. Oh bondage, up yours."

Pussy Riot will release two more videos about US and Russian politics, according to The Guardian.

Tolokonnikova said the song "could be considered an answer to Trump" though she believes the idea of powerful female sexuality "is much bigger than any populist megalomaniac man."

"Vagina is bigger than Trump," she told The Guardian.
