Yes, I'm breaking out the "bubblegum" genre tag for the first time since the '70s.  To me, "pop" is too vague, and this group was designed for preteen fans, despite sometimes suggestive content, and, yes, all that cleavage.  Anyway, one of my best friends was and is a Spice fan, from his early 20s on, and they became a guilty pleasure for me in my early 30s.  This first big hit is still a lot of fun.
