You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" is a song by Dead or Alive on their 1985 album Youthquake.
This song was the first UK number-one hit for the Stock Aitken Waterman production trio. Released in November 1984, the record reached number one in March 1985, taking seventeen weeks to get there. In the US, it peaked at #11 in September of that year.
The video was directed by Vaughan Arnell and Anthea Benton.
The strings were based on Richard Wagner's classical piece Ride of the Valkyries.
The song has been re-released three times since its original release in 1984. Each time of its release, it achieved success, but failed to match the success of the original. However, after lead-singer Pete Burns' ran on UK Celebrity Big Brother, the single was re-released and managed a Top 5 peak on the UK Singles Chart in 2006.
The song was sampled and a major part of Flo Rida's international smash hit Round And Round.
