  The words to the audio clips... Stuff (in brackets) are the comments of whoever else might be in the clip with Melanie. Italicised comments are mine...

Chris Moyles' Radio Show...

Intelligent Spice?
(Since then I've thought, "she is very clever, I like Mel C") Well I don't think anybody's ever said that to a Spice Girl before, have they! (I think they have) hehe...

Romance rumours and new tattoos...
(There was one in the paper this week) Ooh, and what was that? (About the fact that you're going out with the guy from the Red Hot Chili Peppers). Ohhh, no... I do know Anthony, I met him over in L.A., he came to one of our shows, and he's a very good friend of mine. And actually he took me to his tattoo artist and I got a new tattoo! (Did you really?) Mmm (What did you get?) It's, emm, a lotus flower and some Tibetan writing (wow) mmm, it's very nice (and where is it?) I'll have to show you sometime (where is it?) It's on the base of my spine (really) mmhmm (that means the top of your arse) hehehe it does! (that's what that means) hahaha (you can show that to me any time... How many tattoos have you got now?) hehehe, err, one two three four five...six. (Jeez, and your mother's pleased about this?) Yeah, well she's got one as well, she's got the same one as me on her shoulder (oh god, that's right, she has) mmm (you're nuts!) I know (what are you doing, you and your mother getting identical tattoos, that would never happen with my mother) It's a bit mad innit. I was shocked when she wanted it actually, but it's pretty cool.

L.A. Parties
Actually, tell you a bit of a Courtney Love story (go on) When we were in L.A., err, her daughter came to see the show, and then afterwards we got invited to Courtney Love's party! (Really?) Yeah, so that was really interesting, there was loads of famous people there (was that good fun?) yeah it was (do you like meeting famous people?) Emm, it's funny because like, especially with a thing like that, 'cause we've never been to like an L.A. party like that before (yeah) and so we was there and we was just looking at everyone, but the thing is everyone was just looking at us (yeah) know what I mean, and we're going "ooh, what are you looking at us for?" (cause you're the Spice Girls) I know, but especially in America you don't, you forget you're famous. (Do you appreciate the fact that you can't pick your nose without someone going "MEL C'S PICKING HER NOSE!") Hehe, I don't care, everyone picks their nose, don't they (well yeah, but nobody gets in the papers for picking their nose) well, I suppose it's quite nice to be talked about, at least people, well someone must be bothered to print it, musn't they?

Shellsuits
(And thank god by the way you don't wear those crappy shell suits any more) Hehe, I've NEVER worn a shell suit in me life! (well, you know what I mean)

So, are you really seeing someone, and is it a bloke?
Emmm, I might be... (Are you really?) Mmmmmm, possibly... (alright) sort of... (what's his name?) I'm not going to say that... (Is it a boy or a girl?) Oh, it's a boy! (OK, right) yeah, let's quash them rumours now (yeah, OK) I am actually straight.

Best thing about being a Spice Girl
The best thing... probably what I'm doing tonight - just getting up there on stage and singing live.

Do you get nervous? Yeah I do actually. We're really nervous now 'cause like we're back home and it's really important to us, like, doing these home gigs.

Worst thing about being a Spice Girl
The worst thing... probably, erm, this is quite a funny one, it's a double edged sword, it's like the best and the worst is like all the travelling. Cause it's really great to be able to go to all fantastic places, but you get so tired and so homesick, I think that's probably the worst thing.

How can you tell if someone is being honest with you?
I think, you know, that could be quite difficult, but you, you always sort of know by your instincts, don't ya? You know what I mean, hopefully like, you only sort of attract people who are quite honest and that.

And is your boyfriend?
I think so, I hope so (OK) He better had be!

So, is he a showbiz type, or a real person?
No, he's a real person. But showbiz people... well, most showbiz people who I've met are real as well, everyone's the same.

Are you pregnant yet?
No, I'm not (who's next, is it you or Emma, that's next?) hehe, I don't know, well it won't be me, I'm just not ready for that right now.

What about the Christmas single?
Christmas single, yeah, we're really excited about this one, it's lovely, you know, ooh it might be one of our best! Well, that's what I think (What's it called?) Emm, I don't actually know if we're going to give the title out just yet (cause I've heard a rumour of what it's going to be called) have you? (yeah, I've heard it's going to be called "Goodbye") Oh. OK then, yeah, it's called "Goodbye" (And why is it called "Goodbye"?) Emm (Is this, is that it?) Is that it? (yeah) oh, you mean for the Spice Girls? (yeah) oh no, nonononono, it's just the title of the song! (you wouldn't lie to me then?) No, oh I swear on my life this is not the end of the Spice Girls (there you go) definitely! (wahey!) I know everyone's waiting for it, but sorry, it's not gonna come. No, it's called "Goodbye" and it's just, you know, about friendships and relationships and when it comes a time to say goodbye (aaah) and that's it. (Number one again) That would be nice, but you know, you never know.
