Angst? What Angst?: They all vehemently denied any tension within the group, of which there was so very, very much. Eventually, most of them fessed up and discussed it, but Emma remained all smiles.
Ensemble Darkhorse: Part of the reason for the band's success is that their songs were enjoyed by people who would normally hate the idea of listening to manufactured pop groups. This is because of their extremely high production values, the varied harmonies and the general attempt to make each single stand out. The fact the band didn't release any covers as singles helped as well.
Hilarious in Hindsight: An advert for Walkers Crisps has the girls being turned down by footballer Gary Linekar. Fast forward to, Victoria being able to marry David Beckham, a footballer.
This Impluse advert makes it look like they're walking in the nude, thanks to some genius camera angles.
What Do You Mean It's for Kids?: Seriously, they were marketed to (and incredibly popular with) preteen girls, but most of their songs were very thinly veiled metaphors for sex. Some that instantly spring to mind? "Naked", "2 Become 1", "If You Can't Dance", "Holler"...
Getting Crap Past the Radar: In one of Emma's solo works "A Girl Like Me", if you replace the sound bit with "a naughty 'F' word", it actually makes a complete sentence.
