Hoping for 500k on Christmas day for Christmas wrapping.

I KNOW we are picking at straws here, but would it hurt to inc a link to their Christmas playlist here, and probably tagging the Spotify accounts too? :blink:

When I saw that post I thought they are just taking the piss. A pointless Christmas related post that could have actually pushed Christmas Wrapping. Why is the social media so shit?

 

They made a whole video of Posh smiling for 'world smile day' but cant throw something together for a song of theirs that is taking off. Make it make sense.

Edit: 20th December.

 

An expected fall on Sunday, but still enough streams to be its third biggest day so far!

Regarding Christmas Wrapping - I wonder why the Spice Girls' version ends with "But I think I'll miss this one this year"?

 

In the original by The Waitresses, after the fourth verse "Then suddenly we laughed and laughed - Caught on to what was happening - That Christmas magic's brought this tale - To a very happy ending [the exact same lyrics as the Spice Girls version], The Waitresses change the final chorus to "Couldn't miss this one this year". It makes sense considering that the last verse is literally "a happy ending", a shift from the mood of previous verses which highlighted why they wanted to skip over this particular Christmas. So the Spice Girls' version doesn't really make much sense to end on "miss this one this year". :thinking:

 

I also wonder why the line "You mean you forgot cranberries too?" was changed to "the papers"? :thinking: As in newspapers?

 

(Honestly I've never paid close attention to most of the lyrics until now, bar ones that really stand out like "Tesco has provided me with the world's smallest turkey")

Not Jay awake at night looking deeply into the lyrics of a Christmas song #oh

:cry: :cry:

Interesting points Jay! I always thought ‘the cranberries’ had too many syllables in the original. And you can’t get fresh cranberries at an all night garage. Also us Brits don’t really make our own sauce. So I can see why they changed it.

 

That said, I don’t think ‘the papers’ are really essential enough to rush out to the garage for. I’d have gone for “Did you forget a present too”. I often have that realisation on Christmas Eve. Haha

:lol: it's what I am doing right now! I have never heard The Waitresses version knew some of the obvious lyrics but wasn't aware of the ending bit, it is a bit strange isn't it hmmmm. I love their interpretation of the first verse "world tours airplanes and babies, met some guy but never the time most of 98 was along those lines"

That would have been a much better and more Christmassy lyric! Now all we need is a time machine to go back 24 years and invade the studio to advise them about this! :lol:

So in the next update Christmas Wrapping could exceed 4,150,000, while Sleigh Ride (combined) should go over 2 million!

Christmas Wrapping is getting to a total now where it is passing classic album tracks and even the lesser singles.

I'll be downloading Christmas Wrapping at midnight on Amazon for the download day (Fri 23rd Dec). Will do itunes on my bfs phone tomorrow evening. I know it wont do much but hey it is 99p and I do love those hags and it has been so nice seeing a different Spice Girls song do well.

 

Speaking of Christmas Wrapping had its biggest streaming update today, it did over 220k streams yesterday. Looking good for 300k+ by Christmas.

You better. I've enjoyed Christmas Wrapping doing well more than any Spice song for a long time. Probably because there is finally something different getting streams, attention and love for once than the same 10 singles.

Edited December 23, 20222 yr by Mr.X

Their team would be wise to push this next year with a Goodbye25 release.
