"You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" is a Song originally released by Dead Or Alive on their 1985 album '' Youthquake ''.

This song was the first #1 hit for Stock Aitken Waterman . Originally released in November 1984, the record reached #1 in March 1985, taking 15 weeks to get there.

The song was used in the Adam Sandler film '' The Wedding Singer '' and the British TV Series Phoenix Nights . The song is considered a Gay Anthem , possibly because of the lead singer's ambiguous sexuality.

The song was re-released in 2003 at the same time as the Dead Or Alive greatest hits album was released. The song only reached number #23 in the UK charts, however the single was re-released again on January 30 2006 due to lead singer Pete Burns 's controversial time as a contestant on television series '' Celebrity Big Brother '', and reached #5.
