“You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)” by Dead Or Alive

This week, our Patreon voted for us to explore the music and career of Dead or Alive, the British pop band responsible for the endlessly catchy and danceable 1985 single, “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record).” Led by the eccentric and androgynous Pete Burns, Dead or Alive were a perfect mix of the end of disco and the start of new wave. Their rise up the indie charts in the UK led them to a major label, but even then, it was the band’s belief in themselves and their music that resulted in the massive hit that has stood the test of time. Should you be spinning the REST of the Dead or Alive’s records right round though? That’s what we’ll be deciding this week.
