Spice Girls' Wannabe is one of the classic hits of the Nineties, a sweet slice of girl power pop that can still get everyone up on the dancefloor.

But remember Mel B's rap as she introduced the girls to the listener? Turns out, she was really introducing us to their sexual preferences.

A spicy insider has revealed that the lyrics 'we got G like MC who likes it on an…' reference Mel C and Geri Halliwell 'enjoying sex whilst on ecstasy, if you listen carefully'.

In a smart move, Scary Spice never explicitly references E, but does so by never completing the sentence and instead rapping straight into the next line which begins with the phonetic E.

Smart, very smart.

And a closer look at the rap shows that not all Scary Spice is revealing…

So here's a story from A to Z, you wanna get with me you gotta listen carefully,
We got Em in the place who likes it in your face,
we got G like MC who likes it on an… Easy V doesn't come for free, she's a real lady,
and as for me, ha you'll see

Pretty dirty now you think about it, hey?

But that's not all – you're about to learn where the famous, but seemingly gobbledegook line 'zig-a-zig-ah' came from.

Speaking to the Daily Star, the insider admitted that he helped to write the song in a 'cramped but hip little studio in London's Shoreditch back in 1995', but that most of the 'studio neighbours were way cooler than us'.

And then he admitted that there was one '80s pop dude who hated us for encroaching what he considered "his turf" which was boy bands and girl bands' and this is the guy who inspired the infamous 'Zig-a-zig-ah' line.

'This guy had this nasty habit of taking a dump in the shared khazi while smoking a cigar, so we took to referring to him as "shit and Cigars",' revealed the source.

'During the recording this phrase was thrown around a lot and must have worked its way into Mel B's subconscious who pretty much wrote all the lyrics.

'She may have considered "shits and cigars" for a minute – but eventually settled on "Zig-a-zig-ah" instead.'

… Wise move, Scary, wise move.
