|
If you're wondering how I found these meanings in the song.. watch the photo shoot scene in “Spice World”, they act out the people they're singing about. Elvis was a coola shaker, [Elvis Presley, known as the King of Rock 'n Roll. Shook his hips a lot. (Not sure, but that's what I took it to mean)] Marley, Ziggy, melody makers. [Bob Marley and Ziggy Stardust (David Bowie's androgynous alter ego. In the photo shoot scene, he is the one with the eye patch.. obviously). Were melody makers, as in they wrote and sang songs.] She's a Bond babe, kick some ass, Dr. No, that girl's got class! [Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder in Dr. No] Charlie's Angels, girls on top, Handbags, heels, their pistols rock! [Charlie's Angels was a popular TV show in the 1970's. More recently, a series of films was made starring Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu] Baby Lover, soul glam queen, Sing the blues or love supreme. [Diana Ross of The Supremes, who made the hit song “Baby Love”] 60's Twiggy set the pace, Way back when she had the face. [Twiggy was a very skinny, petite model in the 1960's. Later she became an actress] That's all in the past, legends built to last But she's got something new She's a power girl in a 90's world And she knows just what to do 'Cause the lady is a vamp, She's a vixen, and a tramp, She's a dadadadadadada. Come on fellas, place your bets, 'Cause you ain't seen nothing yet. She's the talk of the town, She's the best of the best. YES! Jackie O, we loved her so, So did Mr. President, as far as we know. [Jacqueline Kennedy Onasis, widow of President John F. Kennedy, went on to marry Greek tycoon Aristotle Onasis] Norma Jean had a Sever Year Itch, Some Like it Hot to a Fever Pitch! [Norma Jean aKa Marilyn Monroe, starred in the movies Seven Year Itch, Some Like it Hot, and Fever Pitch] Sandy, Danny, Summer love, Pink Ladies, T-Birds, and the moon above! [Homage to the 1978 (correct year?) movie Grease, starring Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta] That's all in the past, legends built to last, But she's got something new. She's a power girl in a 90's world, And she knows just what to do. 'Cause the lady is a vamp, She's a vixen, and a tramp, She's a dadadadadadada. Come on fellas, place your bets, 'Cause you ain't seen nothing yet. She's the talk of the town, She's the best of the best. YES! Scary, Baby, Ginger, Posh, Sporty, [The names of the Spice Girls] Yes, now that's your lot. We're the Spice Girls ready to go! Ladies and gents, can you please take your seats? And we hope that you enjoyed the show. Thank you very much! [A famous line, said by Elvis] |
