Pete Burns & Pete Waterman discussing "You Spin Me Round" - The One Show 13th March 2012

[@cosmos1250]

Only People that lived through the 80's and experienced this Song in Clubs - will ever really know how big it was. I remember the Clubs virtually exploding everytime this was played - it was Collosal !!

[@lastdays3148]

👏🏿👏🏿👩🏾 I was a Teenager Lady in the 1980s. I remember this song so well. This Song was playing was playing on my husband favorite Radio Station earlier today. If we only had a Time Machine I would enter into that Machine and zoom right out of this 21st Century.

You could also say they about “Low” by flo Rida. Whenever that song plays everyone goes to the dance floor and starts twerking

I like the fact that Pete (Burns) admitted that he riff'd off the Luther Vandross track. It's rare that songwriters are so honest.

[@gunnyakdo1653]

he was also honest about being in big brother just for the money. besides his persona you can love him because of his honesty

[@blueskye6372]

Agree. 🎶🎵🎼

[@justiceforartpop6600]

ROBIN Gemmell It wasn’t originally meant to go that far, the problem is a surgeon did a bad lip job on him and they were practically falling apart and leaking. Every other surgeon then suggested lip amputation. He went bankrupt and sold his house just to have them fixed, then after he had them fixed he still needed to have surgeries just to pretty much maintain his face and he probably got addicted. He did eventually win the lawsuit against the original surgeon who messed up his lips but Pete always said he hopes they fucking die.

[@RocStarr913]

He’s said that he found it churlish about pop music that songwriters are not more open and honest about their musical influences.

[@ThisOLmaan]

no just Pure inspiration Lyrics are not the same Mr Luther Vandross just inspired this person , one of the best songs played in our time and the one place that was so popular and Live that folks come to party Hard and eat Tacos at 4:00 am and continue the party till Sunday Night, and that be the Night Clubs of Tijuana Mexico people world wide would come the 80's was just it this 21st century is Sooooo Dead and so Sad, least i Lived in the time of all these great Musicians and Artist and it was Magical.

Which Pete?

[@jactorboy]

This band had many hits all over the world. This song as well as one or two others were hits in the U.S. And they had many more in their homeland of Europe as well as all the surrounding countries. Not to mention Japan. Success isn't just measured in American standards. And it doesn't always matter if songs are a hit right away...what matters is if they gain popularity over time and if they are still around, heard, and acknowledged decades later.

they were really fun. it was exciting every time a new song came out, and a new video. I saw Pete Burns in a video bar in West Hollywood, CA, many years ago, and I said "hi" and he said "hi" and then a few weeks later, at the same bar, I saw Boy George hanging out and having drinks. One of his friends was pointing at me and talking to the Boy, but I walked away. RIP Pete. George is still around and his voice still smooth like silk

[@procta2343]

Flashy looking? Dude had golf balls injected into his cheeks and looked like he failed the Kylie Jenner challenge. I don't think flashy is the term that most people describe him as. Freaky and Fucked up are the most common descriptiions of Pete that I hear coming from the 80s gen.
