E' mattina..e come ogni mattina che si rispetti la madre:
"Santi_bailor (!!) ,prima di scendere metti a posto la stanzetta,che fa schifo.."
Mi alzo,mi snocciolo gli occhi (non mi dite che le cacchette la mattina spuntano solo a me perchè non vi credo..), comincio a ravanare lo scaffalo con fare rassettoso, quando scorgo una musicassetta assai impolverata.. è della Spice Girls.. sorrido..
Avvicino l'anzidetta al cestino Bin ma poi penso:
"Ma dai,mettiamola per dare un pò di ritmo al mio porre fine a questo disordine deprorevole!"
Si comicia con "Wannabe", poi "Say You'll Be There" e ad ambo le canzoni non risparmio il mio falsetto frocio-castrato-estasiato da far invidia al Matthew Bellamy più ingrifato..
Il ritmo c'è, il sudore anche e le mie ascelle ne pagano care le conseguenze.
Nei pezzi lenti,quali "Mama" o "2 Become 1", il mio fisico prende fiato e si sovrappongono ricordi quali:
- La prima sega, coadiuvato dalla gonna viola di Geri nel video di "Stop" (andatevela a spulciare, è una chicca!)
- La scuola media e il bidello con un occhio marrone e l'altro verde (bbrrrr..)
- The Box, che mi ostinavo a chiamare TE BOCS
- Beverly Hills,accompagnato da dubbi amletico-sessual-freudiani:"MA SE SI CHIAMA ANDREA,PERCHE' E' FEMMINA???"
Ma il culmine si raggiunge con "Goodbye", il pezzo finale (in tutti i sensi) e mi sembra ieri quel maggio millenovecentonovantotto (aspettando France '98 di Roberto "è uscita di tanto" Baggio e di Luigi "ora prendo la traversa" Di Biagio), quando tiemmecidue trasmise quel video
Senza Geri..
Goodbye..
Che tristezza..
Roba che certamente nè gli "enta" nè gli "anta" potranno capire..
Non posso negarlo.. Le Spice Girls sono l'inizio del mio iter e non ho nessun rimpianto per questo. (a proposito "Nessun rimpianto", video del Pezzali col primo nudo integrale DEL MONDO chicca n°2)
Magari se non avessi comiciato con loro a quest'ora non sarei qui ad ascoltare Elliot Smith, Mars Volta, Pavement, i giovanotti sonici e chi per loro..
Indi..voto-nostalgia e..
GRAZIE SPICE :)

02 Say You'll Be There (03:55)
Oh, say you'll be there
I'm giving you everything
All that joy can bring
This I swear
Last time that we had this conversation
I decided we should be friends, hey
But now, we're going 'round in circles
Tell me will this déjà vu never end, oh
And now you tell me that you're falling in love
Well I never ever thought that would be, eh
This time, you gotta take it easy
Throwing far too much emotions at me
But any fool can see they're falling
I gotta make you understand
I'm giving you everything
All that joy can bring
This I swear (I'll give you everything)
And all that I want from you
Is a promise you will be there
Say you will be there, ow
Say you will be there
Won't you sing it with me
If you put two and two together
You will see what our friendship is for, oh
If you can't work this equation
Then I guess I'll have to show you the door
There is no need to say you love me
It would be better left unsaid
I'm (I'm) giving you everything (I'll give you everything)
All that joy can bring (All that joy can bring)
This I swear (Yes, I swear)
And (And) all that I want from you (All I want from you)

03 2 Become 1 (04:01)
Candlelight and soul forever
A dream of you and me together
Say you believe it, say you believe it
Free your mind of doubt and danger
Be for real, don't be a stranger
We can achieve it, we can achieve it
Come a little bit closer, baby
Get it on, get it on
'Cause tonight is the night
When two become one
I need some love like I never needed love before (Wanna make love to ya baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more (Wanna make love to ya baby)
Set your spirit free
It's the only way to be
Silly games that you were playing
Empty words we both were saying
Let's work it out boy, let's work it out boy
Once again, if we endeavor
Love will bring us back together
Take it or leave it, take it or leave it
Are you as good as I remember, baby
Get it on, get it on
'Cause tonight is the night
When two become one
I need some love like I never needed love before (Wanna make love to ya baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more (Wanna make love to ya baby)
Set your spirit free
It's the only way to be
Be a little bit wiser, baby
Put it on, put it on
'Cause tonight is the night
When two become one
I need some love like I never needed love before (Wanna make love to ya baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more (Wanna make love to ya baby)
I need some love like I never needed love before (Wanna make love to ya baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more (Wanna make love to ya baby)
Set your spirit free
It's the only way to be
It's the only way to be
It's the only way to be
06 Mama (05:05)
She used to be my only enemy and never let me be free
Catching me in places that I knew I shouldn't be
Every other day I crossed the line, I didn't mean to be so bad
I never thought you would become the friend I never had
Back then, I didn't know why
Why you were misunderstood
So, now I see through your eyes
All that you did was love
Mama I love you, mama I care
Mama I love you, mama my friend
You're my friend
I didn't want to hear it then but I'm not ashamed to say it now
Every little thing you said and did was right for me
I had a lot of time to think about, about the way I used to be
Never had a sense of my responsibility
Back then I didn't know why
Why you were misunderstood
So, now I see through your eyes
All that you did was love
Mama I love you, mama I care
Mama I love you, mama my friend
You're my friend
(Mama) You're my friend
Me loving you
You loving me
A love that's true
And guaranteed
Me loving you (Mama I love you)
You loving me (Mama I care)
A love that's true
And guaranteed
Me loving you (Mama I love you)
You loving me (Mama I care)
A love that's true
And guaranteed
Me loving you (Mama I love you)
You loving me (Mama I care)
A love that's true
And guaranteed
07 Who Do You Think You Are (04:00)
The race is on to get out of the bottom
The top is high so your roots are forgotten
Giving is good as long as you're getting
What's driving you it's ambition and betting
(I said) who do you think you are
(Do you think you are, I said)
Oooh, some kind of superstar
(You have got to) swing it, shake it, move it, make it
Who do you think you are
Trust it, use it, prove it, groove it
Show me how good you are
Swing it, shake it, move it, make it
Who do you think you are
Trust it, use it, prove it, groove it
Show how good you are
You're standing out in the wrong direction
You've got the bug, superstar you've been bitten
Your trumpet's blowing for far too long
Climbing the snake of the ladder, but you're wrong
Who do you think you are
(Do you think you are, I said)
Oooh, some kind of superstar
(You have got to) swing it, shake it, move it, make it
Who do you think you are
Trust it, use it, prove it, groove it
Show me how good you are
Swing it, shake it, move it, make it
Who do you think you are
Trust it, use it, prove it, groove it
Show how good you are
You have got to reach on up, never lose your soul
You have got to reach on up, never lose control
(I said) who do you think you are
(Do you think you are, I said)
Oooh, some kind of superstar
(You have got to) swing it, shake it, move it, make it
Who do you think you are
Trust it, use it, prove it, groove it
Show me how good you are
Swing it, shake it, move it, make it
Who do you think you are
Trust it, use it, prove it, groove it
Show me how good you are
Swing it, shake it, move it, make it
Who do you think you are
(Swing it, shake it, move it, make it)
Trust it, use it, prove it, groove it
Show me how good you are
(Trust it, use it, prove it, groove it)

09 Naked (04:25)
Naivety and childhood left behind deprived of the goodness of mankind,
past encounters have made her strong, strong enough to carry on and on.
Undress you with her eyes, uncover the truth from the lies
Strip you down no need to care, lights are low exposed and bare.
Naked
Nothing but a smile upon her face
Naked
She wants to play seek and hide, no one to hide behind
Naked
This child has fallen from grace
Naked
Don't be afraid to stare she is only naked.
Naked
She knows exactly what to do with men like you,
inside out in her mind there's
no doubt where you're coming from,
mystery will turn you on.
Undress you with her eyes, uncover the truth from the lies
Strip you down no need to care, lights are low exposed and bare.
Naked
Nothing but a smile upon her face
Naked
She wants to play seek and hide, no one to hide behind
Naked
This child has fallen from grace
Naked
Don't be afraid to stare she is only naked.
Hello...
This angel's dirty face is sore, holding onto what she had before.
Not sharing secrets with any old fool, now she's gonna keep her cool.
She wants to get naked
She wants to get naked.
Naked
Nothing but a smile upon her face
Naked
She wants to play seek and hide, no one to hide behind
Naked
This child has fallen from grace
Naked
Don't be afraid to stare she is only naked.
Repeat to fade
