Rewind Your Friend, the ’90s: 2 Become 1 Tuesdays!

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on Tue, Mar 11 at 3:08 PM

Because I am possibly the biggest old-school Spice Girls fan in North America, I have used caution not to post too many Spice Girls songs in my continuing series, “Your Friend, the ’90s.” HOWEVER! Due to an alarming amount of ignorance about the Spice Girls around the Mercury offices (Intern Drew, I’m looking at YOU), I feel compelled to post the Girls’ squirmingly cute and disturbing single “2 Become 1.”

The best part of the video: The Spice Girls obviously entered a parallel dimension so they could co-exist safely in busy and super-fast downtown traffic. (Somehow a deer and a pair of lesbians made it, too.)

The worst part of the video: There’s WAY too much creepy stares/head cocking/scrunchy noses going on here, and Baby Spice’s condom invitation (“Be a little bit wiser baby/ Put it on, put it on”) makes me feel weird in my pants.

Other than that, like all other Spice Girls projects… it’s PERFECT IN EVERY WAY!
