There ain't no party like an S Club party

If I could bottle the happiness I used to feel when I would wake up on Saturdays, a mere kid of about 10 or 11 and watch “One Saturday Morning” on ABC while eating my breakfast cereal, I promise there would be a lot less moody Facebook statii clogging up my newsfeed. After watching the standards - "Pepper Ann," "Recess" - I’d always and without fail switch over to ABC Family, and get my weekly fix of “S Club 7 in Miami.”

Never experienced the glory of S Club 7? For shame. The band, emerging onto the scene in the late '90s into the early millennium, was the brain child of Simon Fuller. Who’s Simon Fuller? Oh you know, just the guy who created “American Idol” and “So You Think You Can Dance,” and also found time to discover Amy Winehouse and the Spice Girls. He currently manages Steven Tyler, Aloe Blacc, Carrie Underwood, and David and Victoria Beckham, among others. No big deal.

Fuller’s first venture into television was sifting through over 10,000 people to form S Club 7 in 1999. The band released four studio albums and starred in a BBC TV series that aired stateside as “S Club 7 in Miami” and “S Club 7 in L.A.” I was obsessed with the story - normal teenaged kids moving to the States to follow their dreams of becoming performers. Classic tale. As far as '90s TV goes, it was right up there with “Boy Meets World” and “Are You Afraid of the Dark?”

But, this is a music blog, and I digress. The band had a bunch of hit singles, including “Bring It All Back” and “Don’t Stop Movin’.” The music of S Club 7 was quintessential '90s pop, which obviously isn’t for everyone. However, I can confirm that according to the song “S Club Party,” there really "ain’t no party like an S Club party."

Without fail, if this song comes on at any party, everyone between the ages of 19 and 25 will probably know the words and start screeching them like banshees. If they don’t, you shouldn’t want to be their friend anyway because they’re no fun. I will, in fact, judge you based on your favorite S Club 7 member. And who can forget “Never Had A Dream Come True” at every middle school dance?

S Club 7 became S Club when band member Paul Cattermole left, however according to the UK Mirror, the band is reuniting for a summer tour with all seven members. A rumored two-album deal, including a greatest hits album, is set to follow.
