Sophie puzzled by Spice Girls strip

Sophie Ellis-Bextor has a problem with the Spice Girls' new video:

"I don't like the video.

"I don't understand why they're singing in their underwear when they're talking about friendship.

"They are supposed to be singing about being friends - why do they have to be in their bra and pants to do that?"

Normally, we'd suggest that it was something to do with trying to flog singles, but... Geri Halliwell in her pants isn't going to sell very much of anything, is it?

Still, we're surprised at Sophie's confusion... perhaps she might need to search her memory to find the link between 'promoting records' and 'being in your skimpies'?
