Geri Halliwell 'Scream If You Wanna Go Faster'

Chart Peak: 8

YouTube

The title track from her second album was also her first single to peak lower than 2. She claims to have written this song under the infunce of Led Zeppelin. Much as I consider them an over-rated group I still think they deserve better than to be blamed for this frankly awful record, which certainly isn't any kind of blues or rock. The lack of machismo isn't unwelcome, but the lack of melody or rhythmic interest is, and so is the poor singing and performance. And the less said about the lyric "Gimme some sweet FA, have a nice day as Americans say" the better, frankly.

This is hardly the only track on this album that isn't any good, but it stands out for the sense that the people involved think it is, somehow.
