At 1:38 of one of the Spice's biggest flops, but ironically one of their greatest songs, we have the BEST EVERRRRR Star Trek reference in pop:



She sings,

'We can go ooon and ooon/
Doin things we thought we would never doooo/
And I won't energise' wub.gif

Can we please show some appreciation for THIS BOP, their love (or at least VB's?) of Star Trek with an appreciation lyric for it, and that video though??

This lyric has legit caused confusion within the fan base since the song came out, lol.

"We can go all night long
Doing things you thought you would never do
And I won't _______"


Greatest Hits booklet says "And I won't tell you now". The Forever booklet doesn't even include a lyric for that part.

There's been loads of other suggestions from fans (seriously, there was a poll on DenDen with nearing 50 options :') ), but two popular ones are "And I won't tell na na" and "And I won't tell no lie".

It sounds like "tell no lie/s" to me.

No, it's a Star Trek reference - Victoria's a Trekkie!

Although repeated listens make it sound like it COULD be and I won't tell my dad, but that wouldn't fit with the futuristic Star Trek Holodeck video, or futuristic robo-vocals at that bit.

Not sure why Mel C is singing, And I won't tell anyone in the background just after though :/

Also, it's we can GO ON AND ON, not all night long

She CLEARLY says 'And I won't tell Baghdad', making a controversial yet passionate case for the UK's war on terror in the Tony Blair era.

That also wasn't on the list, hun. sad.gif

One of the (very tongue in cheek) suggestions was "and I want to empower women" heehee.gif (seriously VB says this all the time in her interviews about her fashion!)

Oh my that has always been my favourite part of the song too, but the best line is the Star Trek energise one of course!
