"You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" is a song by Dead or Alive on their 1985 album Youthquake. The original cut was over four minutes long and was edited for the album. The unedited version was released on an '80s CD called Monster '80s Volume Two.
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.
