This. MUST. Happen. Especially if the world is going to end this year.

Forget the #London2012 Olympics. Forget Viva Forever:The Musical. (Well, actually, don’t forget either of those, because they’re both going to be #major…). Rumors are now swirling in the tabloids (thanks to @OfficialMelB) that the #SpiceGirls are set to perform at HRH QEII’s Diamond Jubilee. As fun as that would be, I really can’t see Lizzie slamming it to the left OR shaking it to the right.
Whatever the truth behind these rumors, may I make a suggestion? Please accompany anything with new material. I love all of the classics, but I’d really like to hear something new. Besides, the Spice Girls signed a five album deal with Virgin. Excluding solo projects, to date, Virgin has only officially released four albums. Let’s crank out one more! :)
Top 10 Reasons The Olympics Needs The Spice Girls
- 1. Sporty Spice could serve as a judge/referee in pretty much every sport.
- 2. The Olympics has sweat, tears, and spandex, but it’s notoriously short on leopard print, fishnets, and glitter.
- 3. The campaign to make “Walking in 8-Inch Platform Sneakers” an Olympic sport could use a publicity bump.
- 4. The Spice Girls could spice up staid Olympic events. For example, instead of having finish lines at running events, the Spice Girls could jump out in front of athletes singing “Stop right now, thank you very much.”
- 5. Scary Spice’s yell could replace a starting gun. Michael Phelps could try for another world record with Baby Spice sitting on his back.
- 6. It’s been four years since the last Spice Girls reunion. I can’t think of any other important event that takes place every four years. The world has been waiting! Give the people what they want!
- 7. Organizers could scrap the entire opening ceremony and just roll out a big screen to show “Spice World” instead.
- 8.Six words: Victoria Beckham designing table tennis uniforms.
- 9. The Olympics always includes dramatic montages celebrating the host country. Nothing is more patriotic than Ginger Spice in a Union Jack mini dress.
- 10. The Spice Girls are known around the world as a symbol of justice and fairness. Do you think anyone would cheat with the Spice Girls around? Most likely not. They would bring integrity to the games.
- There are five rings in the Olympic logo. There are five Spice Girls. This was totally meant to be.
This is any Anglophile’s dream come true.
Promotional single covers for “If You Wanna Have Some Fun,” “Tell Me Why,” and “Weekend Love.” All three songs were set to be released as singles in various parts of the world before the Spice Girls would eventually abandon promotion of Forever. The promotional CD singles were released to media outlets prematurely. If you’ve been able to get you hands on them, they are quite the valuable collectors’ item. I have “If You Wanna Have Some Fun” and “Tell Me Why,” but I can’t seem to find a copy of “Weekend Love” anywhere. If you have any idea — that would make a fantastic Christmas gift… wink, wink; nudge, nudge.
“When you’re alone and life is making you lonely you can always go… Downtown!” I love Emma Bunton’s version of the Petula Clarke classic. This was the first single to be lifted from Bunton’s third album, Life In Mono. It was also the official 2006 “Children in Need Single.” The official single for 2007 was the Spice Girls’ comeback song, “Headlines (Friendship Never Ends).” Spice fact of the day. Enjoy!
