Look above closely. Do you see that? That is the only acceptable thing to do with a Spice cd. Smash it.
That, my friends, is the Spice Girls' "debut" album, Spice. Contained on an innocent looking cd are 10 bogglingly bad tunes. Just take one look at the lyrics, and you'll see what I'm saying.
The music contains such gem lines as "There never is a Keanu but a dweeb looking at me" (If U Can't Dance); "Do you think I'm really cool and sexy? And I know you wanna get with me" (Last Time Lover); "God help the mista that comes between me and my sistas" (Love Thing); and the immortal "I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah!" (Do I have to tell you what that's from?)
The music isn't the worst bit of it though: if you open up the liner of the album, you are beaten over the head with slogans such as "Can U handle a Spice Girl?" and "Girl Power!" all around weird pictures of Spice Girls apparently trapped in letters. I think it's supposed to represent how men try to put women into perfect moulds. Or maybe it just symbolises mimes in boxes
If you can't tell, this is a Bad Thing.
It's also not the only thing. They've a new CD, released to less than stellar reviews, and disappointing sales. Is our plan to rid the world of Spice working? Hopefully. But, for now, check out how horrid Spiceworld's lyrics are. |
