No surprises that some people can't handle the brilliance of Too Much :cool:

We cant stay awake through it either.

Spice Up Your Life.

 

I know it's one of their signature songs (probably *the* signature song bar Wannabe) but my god it's grating. I think even as a 5 year old Spice boy I always started the album on track 2 to skip it. :lol: Great to see SND and NGUOTGT being the two remaining album tracks.

SUYL would have been bigger if their video wasn't so dark and quite scary for kids at the time.

The girls wanted the video to be a set at a big carnival but Virgin opted for what we got. The girls were so overworked and tired at the time they didn't argue.

 

I do like the Spice Up Your Life video as it is.

It's my fave video and song from them.

Spice up your life is their best video :wub: I think it gives the song a more mature vibe, the carnival vibe would have made it even cheesier than it is.

It would've been epic. During their prime I'd rather trust the girls than Virgin, they also knew Wannabe should be the one introducing them to the world while Virgin favoured Say You'll There/Love Thing.

If say you'll be there was the debut things would have been very different and they wouldnt have turned into the biggest stars they became.

I like the Spice Up Your Life video, it's so dark in tone and rather weird... it makes for a very interesting entry in their run of music videos.

 

I actually think there's an ever so slightly sinister vibe to the song's production that the music video compliments. The instrumental has never really made me think of a carnival setting / sunshine / bright colours... it's quite a juxtaposition considering that the lyrical content is uplifting.

I find it a bit insulting that spice world had become so dark and sad while in reality the arrival of the spice girls brought us so much joy and brighter world, the girls knew it. The lead single video should have been more friendly to general public, you can be interesting later in your second video. Twenty plus years later there is nothing iconic about it while people still remember and talking about Viva Forever and Stop videos.

I would say the Spice Girls inside the spaceship, and zooming around the city on those hover boards, are amongst the most memorable moments in Spice Girls music videos!

I agree with whoever suggested a carnival theme would've suited the song more. I find the SUYL video more a showcase of their success than anything else - which may have been the point :lol: - but it doesn't make me want to replay it. Too Much is probably my favourite video from the Spiceworld era though. The videos for their first album were so much better in general imo.

Saturday night divas is a clear goner now.
