Dead Or alive - You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)

'You spin me 'round (like a record)' was taken from Dead or Alive's 1985 album 'Youthquake'. This song was the first UK number-one hit for the Stock Aitken Waterman production trio. Released in November 1984 it was a slow starter in the UK. It lingered outside the singles top 40 chart for a couple of months before the record reached number one in March 1985, taking seventeen weeks to get there. In the US, it peaked at number 11 in September of that year. The single was also a top 3 hit in Australia and Italy, and peaking at number 6 in the Netherlands.

The original cut was over four minutes long and was edited for the album. The unedited version was released on an '80's CD called Monster '80s Volume Two.

Dead or Alive was formed around singer Peter Burns, who attracted attention with his eccentric image, which was often compared to then-popular Culture Club frontman Boy George. At the time of its release, one of the band members was Wayne Hussey, who would go on to work with the Sisters of Mercy, and then form The Mission.

The video was directed by Vaughan Arnell and Anthea Benton.
