Spice of a bygone era
Well, its Spice Girls I’m referring to. Many of my readers know who the Spice Girls were. Ok, I’m not talking about the shampoo girls (dressed ala Spice Girls) in the hair salon (The Spice Hair Salon) next to Canton City in hometown. Oh fuck, I’m not from China either. Canton City is the name of a restaurant in Selayang Jaya.
Ok, back to the topic. Just now while I was driving home around 8.30pm, hitz.fm played 6-7 Spice Girls hits in a row and I was like ” WOW. SPICE GIRLS !! GIRL POWER. VIVA FOREVER !!” Had the system up, pumping every bit of juice my moderate system can produce. They were the band who took the world by storm during our growing up years in secondary schools (in case some of you don’t know). A generation of teenagers addressed as lala sprung up everywhere, dressed like Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice). And yeah, David Beckham’s wife Victoria Adams (err.. now Beckham) was one of the band member too, with the Posh Spice moniker. The others were Mel C the Sporty Spice (a Liverpool FC fan), Emma Bunton the Baby Spice and Mel B the Scary Spice.
Sometime, listening to some tunes you so crazed of many years ago, on the radio, will just make your day. Listening it from CD or MP3 don’t generate that feeling much. Let alone, very seldom you’d hear Spice Girls nowadays on the radio… hitz.fm.
So, I would hope that they, hitz.fm will have a slot in some retro hits and play it with any other current hits. I know mix.fm already serve the purpose but there’s no jj & rudy there. Here’s some songs I’d like to hear more often on the radio:
Spice Girls’, Closing Time, Fuel’s Shimmer, Oasis’, Better Than Ezra’s Good, Michael Jackson’s, Coolio’s, Tupac’s…………….. just to name a few. Oh yeah, the famous one before Spice Girls….. Fool’s Garden Lemon Tree. Karaoke session ain’t complete without singing this song. Translated to many languages and imagine if EVERYONE have mobile phone at that time, this would have been the ultimate ringtone. Haha.
Do you still remember, how we used to be ,feeling together, believe in whatever… Viva forever.
