Spice Girls Censored Due To Lyrics

Such forward thinking girl power

Getting the anti-woke brigade on board is a surefire way of increasing sales in 2025

An advance congratulations to Dr Geru
 
So how does this work? Someone gets offended on twitter 3 decades later, it goes viral, and radio stations decide to censor it?
 
To be fair it is a problematic lyric. I always had a problem with it. And it's not like John Lennon's 'Imagine' because, well, times had already changed by then.
They may or may not want to change it and many may disagree, but I acknowledge that it is problematic.
 
I don't see a SINGLE problem with it and I FULLY EXPECT they'd say the same too.
 
I don't understand the controversy. Is it because Timbuktu is not even in Asia?
 
Let’s give the straights faggot in fairytale of New York in exchange for this.
 
For a LONG TIME it's raised an eyebrow from me. Eskimo is hardly a woke friendly word either.
 
Also BOYS AND GIRLS LOOK GOOD TOGETHER

I'm aware they changed that in the recent but STILL.
 
This kind of revisionism is hardly new, is it? Give it enough time and anything can be reinterpreted as "offensive" by future generations.

Is Geru fighting to keep it though? 🤔
 
If they did have a reunion do we think Geri would take part? She seems to be very far removed from Ginger Spice in this era.

Geru fans have a theory.

She's releasing a second volume of her children's books in a couple of weeks, followed by the third and final volume in early 2026 which leaves her some free space to do something productive (and that people give a SHIT ABOUT) so perhaps.......

But then again, Geru has always been rogue when it comes to the band; at least Victoria is a firm "no" every time but Geru's been the least driven given that she agreed on the 2007 tour because she missed out on the USA shows back when she left and as for the 2019 shows she always had doing Wembley in her bucket list so unless there's a strong reason for her to do it again they don't think she'll come back. We'll settle for MEM then.

25 years ago I'd have never guessed there'd be a time where Mel C would be the only one behind a SG reunion.

It's a FACEBOOK GROUP that used to be DenDen, it's where I get all the bits and bobs.

Why you gotta expose me like that? 💀 :D :(

Oh the Inner Circle? I had to put it on mute - I found it too hard not scoffing at some of them. I also practically got lynched for bringing up Geru being smuggled out of Robbie's flat in a suitcase as apparently it was a harrowing near-death experience for her.
 
Were radio stations even playing ‘Spice up your Life’ that often anyway :eyes:
The BBC played it at least three times in March. The only one of the ones I’ve heard on BBC Sounds was censored.
 
who are these mysterious people!!!

Have they replaced it with MELLOW MAN? That would make the most sense.
 
Or MELON MAN ... It could be referring to someone who sells fruit at the side of the road.
