Today's Video is a catchy and yes, very overplayed song and music video on the old request music video station, The Box. My friends, (high school boyfriend in particular) really liked this song. I thought they were kinda slutty, at least at the time. They had a few hits through the late 1990s then just fell out of favor like the bubblegum pop that is always going on. So take a trip back 20 years, and enjoy!

Ha! I listened to more grunge alternative rock then too, like Alice in Chains, Green Day, Metallica, etc. I got subjected to this song being played over and over,,,,, Baby spice seemed to be the popular hot one, lol

"So tell me whatchu want, what you really really want . . . "
Oh my gosh, I still listen to this song . . . my daughter likes it too! When I was figure skating, we'd take a break and put this on and skate to it - it IS a very catchy song!

Can't believe your boyfriend like this? I thought the Spice Girls were all about girl power. Majority of fans were girls weren't they?
I tell you what I want, what I really really want.
Or maybe I shouldn't.

@librarygeek1980 I think he must be gay, and as he is your ex, I might just about get away with saying that. 
Yeah, I wanna zigga zig ah.

Well it was popular during our teens time. My girl classmates hates them in a way while my boy classmates love them and vice versa with the backstreets boys. Lol!
I think growing up in 10years with the same people can get you a little possessive.... I just observe it. We have a very old television. That doesn't have channels for music videos that is why I just know their songs but not really familiar with the artist... So I don't mind them really. But my classmates are getting jealous because they think the girls are acting so Gaga with the backstreet, while the boys where so into the Spice Girls. Lolb
