The Spice Girls were a British pop girl group formed in 1994. The group comprised Victoria Beckham (née Adams), Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm, and Geri Halliwell. They were signed to Virgin Records and released their debut single, "Wannabe" in 1996, which hit number-one in more than 30 countries and helped establish the group as a "global phenomenon". Credited for being the pioneers that paved the way for the commercial breakthrough of teen pop in the late 1990s, their debut album, Spice, sold more than 28 million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling album by a female group in music history. They have sold over 75 million records worldwide, making them the best-selling female group of all time. Measures of their success include international record sales, a 2007–2008 reunion tour, merchandising, record-breaking achievements, iconic symbolism such as Geri Halliwell's Union Jack dress, representing "Girl Power", a box-office film, Spice World, and their internationally recognised nicknames. The group became one of the most successful marketing engines ever, with their global grosses estimated at $500–800 million between 1996 and 1998, and the group earned up to $75 million per year.
(sang in the christmas in spiceworld concert tour)
(r. wood)
Oh when the snowman brings the snow
Oh well he just might like to know
He's put a great big smile on somebody's face
If you jump into your bed
And you cover up your head
Don't you lock the doors
You know that sweet santa claus is on the way
Well I wish it could be christmas everyday
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh I wish it could be christmas everyday
Let the bells ring out for christmas
(mel's lines - if she actually knew them!)
When we're skating in the park
If the storm cloud paints it dark
Then your rosy cheeks are gonna light my merry way
Now the frosticals appeared
And they've frozen up my beard
And so we'll lie by the fire
Til the sleep simply melts them all away
Well I wish it could be christmas everyday
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh I wish it could be christmas everyday
Let the bells ring out for christmas
(one more time everybody!)
Well I wish it could be christmas everyday
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh I wish it could be christmas everyday
Let the bells ring out for christmas
Why don't you give your love, it's christmas
