Just a Link for the Day

The Spice Girls covered the Waitresses minor punk carol, "Christmas Wrapping." I hate to say it, but they actually did a reasonable job. I mean, they did not just do the song, the changed it up a little. Besides, if they'd started up in 1974 instead of 1994, they would have been a fabricated punk band instead of a fabircated bubble gum band. There's a certain irony to a punk band being covered by a bubble gum brit chick band... I think Patty Donahue, God rest her soul, would have laughed. Certainly, the songwriter got paid.
