Spice Girls: Beyond Thunderdome

Ahh say you'll be there
(Only if you promise not to zigazig ah again)
I'm giving you everything
(Insert a dodgy sex joke here)
All that joy can bring
(What exactly does joy bring? Nothing. You're giving me nothing)
This I swear
Last time that we had this conversation
I decided we should be friends
(Awful big of her, innit? Wait, Emma Spice sings that bit? Then it is awful big, heh heh *cough*)
Yeah, but now we're going round in circles
(Kind of like this song)
Tell me, will this deja vu never end?
(I echoed this thought, the fiftieth time you did the chorus bit of this song)
So now you tell me that you're falling in love
Well, I never ever thought that would be
(Yeah, falling in love with a Spice Girl is pretty unfeasible)
This time you gotta take it easy
Throwing far too much emotion at me
(For those of you who have seen the video: clever metaphor, that throwing boomerangs at goldfish bowls, huh?)
But any fool can see they're falling
(Somewhat like Geri's clothing)
I gotta make you understand
(Well, I'd understand if you'd make a little sense occasionally)
Chorus bit. Yawn
Say you will be there
Won't you sing it with me?
(I'll sing if you stop)
If you put two and two together you will see what our friendship is for
(2 + 2 = 4. Nice one)
If you can't work this equation, then I guess I'll have to show you the door
(Victoria says that the other girls didn't understand that 2 + 2 thing)
There is no need to say you love me
It would be better left unsaid
(There is no need to say you love me cos I'll shag you anyway)
Chorus again
Yeah, I want you
(Lucky, lucky me)
Any fool can see they're falling
Gotta make you understand
I'll give you everything, on this I swear
Just promise you'll always be there
(Alright. Gimme your dosh, and I'll be there)
Chorus. Again. And again
(This song is really really repetitive, innit?)

This song is endlessly repetitive, making an ironic twist on their 'going round in circles' lyric. It is simply sold by a slightly clever, cute video and not by the generic swingpop song. The video does showcase, however, Geri shaking just one breast (how?), Mel C being 'sporty' and some really bad makeup. Also: the Biggest Hair in the Universe Competition.
