In the raunchy video for "Bag It Up" Halliwell promotes the product 'Girl Powder', an obvious dig at the Spice Girls slogan. The Spice Girls are a BRIT Award -winning English pop Girl group formed in 1994 Girl Powder transforms any male to an obedient servant. The video starts with Geri and her shirtless 'boyfriend', sitting down in a living room, and we see Geri doing all the housework and cooking for her 'boyfriend'. She then goes to the kitchen to make him coffee, when really she is preparing the Girl Powder drink. Once her boyfriend drinks it, his hair becomes pink. We then see the Girl Powder factory, operated by many pink-haired men. The next time we see Geri and her boyfriend, it is he who is now doing all the housework, even acting as a human table for Geri and obeying to her commands. We then return to the factory, where Geri eventually strips the workers down to briefs and bunny ears, who end up pole-dancing, parodying Playboy Bunnygirls. Playboy is an American Men's magazine, founded in Chicago Illinois, by Hugh Hefner and his associates which has grown into Playboy We then see Geri parading the men on a leash at the end of the video.
Halliwell performed this track at the BRIT Awards 2000, with a controversial performance. The BRIT Awards, often simply called The BRITs, are the British Phonographic Industry 's annual pop music awards 2000 ( MM) was a Leap year that started on Saturday of the Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. Geri emerged from a pair of giant inflatable legs, accompanied by many shirtless, pink-haired male dancers. During the song, the men stripped down to pairs of pink hotpants, with Geri un-buttoning her shirt. She then walked over the kneeling dancers.
