Geri Halliwell : Calling

In this Bond - theme like number, Geri's calling. We're otherwise engaged...

You have to pity the British forces in Oman. Not enough that they could at any moment be called into action against a foe of terrible cunning, they also have to put up with someone else's idea of what might 'cheer them up', in this case, a nutcase in a bikini who last ate a carbohydrate in 1999. It's war you say? Send forGeri Halliwell!

Speaking of the war on terror, 'Calling' is a ballad. More worrying, Geri seems to have picked up most of her techniques on the interpretation of song from her chum the Woeful Williams, a man who could cluelessly emote the eye in the sky traffic bulletin, and one day, hopefully will. Anyway, in this Bond theme like number, Geri 's calling. We're otherwise enaged.
