Spice Girls – Spice Up Your Life
25th October
This is the last appearance of the Spice Girls in this project, I promise! Like Who Do You Think You Are, this is great because its perfect for making up dance routines to, with the “slam it to the left! shake it to the right!” bit and of course “ha! see ya!” (quite obviously not the real lyrics) where all sane people would do a high kick and then probably fall over in pain thanks to their success in avoiding PE throughout most of secondary school. Or maybe that’s just me!
I remember this song very well because it was in the singles charts at the time when I first started listening to them (on the advice of my dad who knew I’d love Barbie Girl, which was no.1 that week) and that was one of many triggers that sent me off into a spiral of pop love.
