from the email archives: Comin' Atcha!

I knew this one would flop even before I sent it...

Hi all,

Some new policies comin’ atcha! (Anyone remember the one-hit-wonder sister band Cleopatra of the late 90s? Cleopatra comin atcha Cleopatra comin’ atcha they named their band after one of the sisters which I always thought was lame. Anyone remember? No? Okay, just look it up on youtube, jeeeeeeze.  Moving on…)

[paragraph concerning said policies]

Thanks for letting me ramble,

Rhianna

As I said before... I knew this one would flop before I even sent it... obviously because of what I wrote in the first paragraph.  It's a pretty obscure reference and you had to be a very specific young teen girl at the right place and right time.  Luckily for me, in June of 1998 I was almost a teenager (a few months shy of my 13th birthday) and I loved the Spice Girls (I had a Posh Spice doll that I kept in her box because I was sure it would be worth something someday) and I watched a lot of Disney Channel Original Movies (oh man, those were the best, the precursors to my beloved ABC Family Originals).  

This UK band got their 15 minutes of fame because they were openers on the SpiceWorld Tour.  Their music video was shown during commercial breaks on the Disney Channel nonstop.  I saw that damn Comin'Atcha! video like 1,000 times.  I didn't even like the band or the song that much but it'll get stuck in your head.

Here, have a looksee...

The poor quality of the video makes this even better.  God, I miss the 90s.
