Victoria Beckham and Rupert Holmes walk into a bar... both order champagne, kiss in the rain, and complain about health food. Coincidence? Maybe. But That Kind of Girl is just Escape with a British accent and worse production. Moral fidelity vs. musical plagiarism—who wore it worse?

I was going to write that Victoria Beckham’s “That Kind of Girl” is just like Rupert Holmes’s “Escape (The Piña Colada Song)” only with champagne instead of piña colada, but then, listening back to “Escape,” it turns out that the guy in that song also likes champagne. In fact, forget David Beckham; Holmes is Victoria’s true soulmate.
