‘Wannabe’ by The Spice Girls
There’s not much to this song, and the first few lyrics sum it up pretty well. The Spice Girls repeatedly say, “Tell me what you want, what you really really want.” After listening to this song for the umpteenth time, what we want is to never listen to this song again.
But the mega pop stars stole the hearts of fans around the world in the mid-’90s and people couldn’t get enough of their biggest hit song. It sold 23 million copies worldwide. Despite all of its success, however, it doesn’t mean it was a good song. It’s even believed that this song was the catalyst to many of the pop songs that came soon after it in the early 2000s (via Reddit).
