Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I Do want your private number baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
I want some, want some
(And no one else will do)
And I,I,I,I have got to have my way now baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your loving arms
Watch out here I come
You spin me right round baby
Right round like a record baby
Right round round round
You spin me right round baby
Right round like a record baby
Right round round round
I Don't wanna be your friend now baby
But I
I wanna move it just a little bit closer
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your loving arms
Watch out here I come
You spin me right round baby
Right round like a record baby
Right round round round
You spin me right round baby
Right round like a record baby
Right round round round
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your loving arms
Watch out here I come
You spin me right round baby
Right round like a record baby
Right round round round
You spin me right round baby
Right round like a record baby
Right round round round
The lyrics of Dope.'s song "You Spin Me Round" depict a deep and intense longing for a person who is essentially a stranger. The singer doesn't care to know their name or be just friends, but wants to get closer physically. The lyrics use metaphors, comparing the person to a fun experience and the singer being spun around like a record. The repetition of the phrase "right round round round" emphasizes the physical motion and excitement of the situation. The singer seems determined to have their way and get closer to the person, but it's unclear if their desire is reciprocated.
The lyrics of the song, released in 2000, were actually a cover of a popular track by the same name released by the band Dead or Alive in 1984. Interestingly, despite the sexual undertones in the lyrics, Dead or Alive's frontman Pete Burns revealed later that the song was actually written about his fascination with plastic surgery.

Most underrated band I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.
@bryanherring5167
Got to see them years ago opening for Kid Rock, pretty good!
@sumg33k6
@Bryan Herring I saw them in a little dive bar in Akron Ohio years ago. Got to shake all their hands which was pretty cool. Edsel is quite the character, and was hilariously sarcastic in conversation.
@PaoloAlghisi
WTF? that's just a cover in Marilyn manson style
@TiuTauTilhi
Grew up with the original, oh the nostalgia. Decades later, this is my favorite cover.
@Unfiltered_drinkingWater
Same
@geoffsmith4614

@Geoff Smith not bad but not as good...
@HateDietPepsi
The lyrics are more red pill than the original.
@TheUnhappybirthday
