ok so this video came out back in 2003 but i never saw it...until now! i doubt this got a lot of US airplay so when i recently discovered this dance video gem - i totally adored it and knew i had to share it here on popbytes with you guys! of course you all remember the 80's classic you spin me round by dead or alive - well they reworked the song which produced the video below...everyone is looking a little different than you might remember...frontman pete burns has been remade & remodeled...uhm...just a wee bit...pete is releasing his autobiography this month called freak unique...sounds like it could be a good beach read! anyways make sure to check out this totally fun upbeat video - i really do love the re-invented 'spin' on this undying track! popbytes over & out - xxoo!

PETE BURNS SPINS US ROUND!

Ooooo'er -- I read it in one sitting, and, lemme just write yer:Freak Unique is *just* the right blend of "Holy sh*t!!!" trashy and refreshingly level-headed, with a small heap of dab-at-yer-mascara moments thrown in, for good measure.

Ma Burns is the BEST.

Hey Mr. MK...I've been playing this vid out in the LA clubs since I got it...most people think it's a cover version by someone else - as NO ONE recognizes Miss Pete and the "new look" - which is quite drastic! The bee-stung lips, the cheekbones, the man-tits...It's kinda weird, to say the least - but I love it too!

Hi! wow i love this video and the reworked version of the song. Pete Burns is amazing, I was such a huge fan of him during his run on Celebrity Big Big Brother in the UK. This guy just cracks me up. Do you know where I can find this version of the song or even where I can download the video? Thanx

This clip is on his greatest hits collection "Evolution". The DVD is one of the best I've ever owned. In addition to his video clips it's got concert footage of his legendary shows in Japan and more. He's one of the most underated artists.

Pete Burns has been and will always be ahead of his time. He is the bravest human being. I respect him for his differences and I adore him for his integrity.
