• Diamond Lil from OntarioI love this song. I remember dancing with El to this and then he disappeared from my life in the twinkle of an eye.
  Thanks El for the good times.
• Jonathan from United KingdomThe song was originally called 'Obrigado' which means 'thank you' in Portuguese. Viva Forever was originally intended to be a double A-Side with the track 'Never Give Up On The Good Times' but that idea was scrapped when Geri left the band in May of 1998. At a production time of five months, the music video for Viva Forever took two months longer to create than Spiceworld The Movie! The creators used stop-motion animation as the Girls, who were on their world tour at the time, were simply far too busy to film a music video for the song. Five 12 inch tin puppets were produced and they were created by the same team behind the Wallace And Gromit movies. Geri was included in the video as there was no time to re-record the vocal and besides, the puppets had already been commissioned prior to her departure of the band. Each member of the band are still in possession of their individual puppet. Toy versions of the puppets (minus Geri) were included in the last set of official Spice Girls dolls although other merchandise was originally planned but dropped when the band changed their image at the beginning of 1999.
