The Spice Girls "Wannabe" holds a special place in the hearts of those who grew up in the 1990's. While some people dismiss it as light and pithy pop that appeals to the teenaged crowd, there can be an alternative meaning attached because so many girls have viewed it as something of a girl power/independence anthem because it stood out as something different in a rough sea of boy band pop that perhaps treats girls as though girls are puppy dogs looking to be lead into one night stands or something.
