It looks like the Spice Girls will reunite for Queen Elizabeth's upcoming Diamond Jubilee, which marks 60 years of her reign. Melanie Brown – a/k/a Mel B, or "Scary" Spice – dropped a major hint to that effect during a recent appearance on Australian television.

The Spice Girls, one of the biggest pop phenomena of the Nineties, were previously rumored to be reuniting for the 2012 London Olympics. According to one source, Brown fretted about revealing the group's plans after the TV appearance, telling crew members, "I am going to be in such strife for saying that. It's all so totally bloody top-secret still."

On camera, however, she seemed eager for the reunion. "For me to get my Scary hair on and my big platforms – any time of day," she said. "I'm a Spice Girl through and through." Watch the video of her appearance below. The Spice Girls news comes near the end of the segment.

“Is It True”

Brenda Lee | 1964

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
