oh how i wish i lived in the UK, you have the best girl groups over there.

They’re pretty cool…like Spice Girls for the “Sex and the City” crowd.  I think it helps that “If This Is Love” is based on a sample from Yaz’s “Situation”, one of the catchiest songs from the 80s. 

The UK also has the Pipettes, my favorite recent girl group, although unlike The Saturdays, the Pipettes stuff is available in the US.

Oooo Hot!  Espcially with that Yaz / Yazoo “Situation” sample.  I love this.
