Lord help the people if a Spice Girls song comes on. I am that person in the store who sings along to the tunes and ,sometimes, I may even bust out a jig or two. { I may have forgotten to tell you I'm the 6th member of SG!}
There is nothing that can take me back like a song.
When I hear any Alanis Morissette, Jewel, Tracy Chapman, Dave Mathews, or Goo Goo Dolls I think of cassettes and family days. Makes me have a warm fuzzy wuzzy feeling. {My ma' has good taste in music}
I can remember things to a T when certain songs come on like the smells, what I was wearing, who I was with, if I was happy or sad, all the emotions come RUSHING back for that 3 and half minutes.
I think thats the closest Ill ever come to time travel.

What songs take you back? What'd you grow up grooving to?

ReplyDeleteNo Doubt, Garbage, and NSync...lol. Oh God, that is so funny.
ReplyDeleteI used to be the biggest Spice Girls fan when I was a little girl! :D gosh, I had all their cassettes, movies, music videos, posters, stickers, post cards, magazines etc. etc. I'm glad I grew out of stuff like that though :P

i listen to Spice Girls Pandora when i work out. LOVE :)
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more. I think that songs tell the stories of our lives. One of my first memories of music is my mom rocking me to sleep to Neil Diamond...not a cassette, but a record. ;)
ReplyDeleteBecause Shanna Said So
Ah I LOVE LOVE LOVE Spice Girls!! And now whenever I hear them I realize how bad the lyrics were that we were singing when we were like 8 lol
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! My absolute favorite group of ladies!! :) They never get old! Glad to be your newest follower!

ReplyDeleteBe still my heart I miss 90s music. Spice Girls, BSB, those were the days! Hahahaha it makes us feel so old when we're the ones that know what cassettes are...
ReplyDeleteSummer, I'll tell you want I want...what I really really want! LOL I use to LOVE the Spice Girls. I loved the 80's and 90's. When a song comes on I can DEFINITELY remember how I was feeling or where I was. I won't listen to a song today if there was a bad memory attached to it. HAHAHA Great post girl!

Bahhaha ALL of those take me back....oh and I can't forget Hanson hahah I was definitely a huge fan.
ReplyDeleteI totally remember this song, and say you'll be there...loved the spice girls! And I still do...lol
ReplyDeleteI dont care where I am..if Spice Girls come on I will bust out singing & dancing! I know every word to their movie Spice World & collected all of their dolls back in the day...a little obsessed? Maybe but oh well! hahaha I'm a HUGE Dave fan no thanks to my boyfriend. I can listen to him all day everyday no problem at all!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I stilllll love me some spice girls and somewhat embarrassingly I still know every word of their songs! I also recall paying money to go see their movie (hangs head in shame) ROFL

Ok I have to admit any time spice girls comes on (I mean I might have some downloaded on my ipod) I turn it up and sing at the top of my lungs. I mean they were the shizzz back in the day.
ReplyDeleteI also have to admit...I still own their movie and just might have went to see them in concert.
Do you think they ever look back and say, "what the heck was I thinking"??
Seriously, I am incredibly happy that SOMEONE is schooling our children on cassettes and the like! They have no clue...Ps. This song totally took me back. We formed a "Spice Girls" group in Middle school and it was PRICELESS. Haha
ReplyDeleteI'm 33 so I grew up with NoDoubt, Pearl Jam, ya know all of those. But, my mom was always in control of the radio and she was a huge fan of the eighties. So, The Police, Phil Collins, and Wham are big memory blasts from the pasts and so I love this music too. She also loved Fleetwood Mac and all that goes along with that genre too. So, wouldn't ya know, I love this stuff too. Take care,
ReplyDeleteShauna
Spice. Girls. Love it. Your blog is adorable.
