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

Well and I, could trace your private number baby
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms

Well I...I set my sights on you

And I, I've got to have my way now, baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're havin' fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come

The song "You Spin Me Round" by Sally Can Dance is a classic 80s dance track with catchy lyrics that convey a feeling of anticipation and excitement. The opening lyrics, "You spin me right round, baby, right round like a record, baby," provide a metaphorical representation of the idea of feeling dizzy from love and the sense of being swept off your feet. The singer desires to get to know someone and sets their sights on them, indicating a level of attraction that cannot be ignored. The lyrics, "All I know is that to me you look like you're lots of fun, Open up your lovin' arms, I want some," further convey the sense of desire and anticipation, of wanting to connect physically and emotionally with the subject.
The repetition of the phrase, "Right round round round," in the chorus reinforces the idea of being caught up in a whirlwind of emotions while also creating a sense of urgency and excitement. The bridge of the song, "Just a little bit closer, I got to be your friend, I got to be your friend now, baby, And I would like to move in," is a plea for intimacy and closeness. The lyrics demonstrate a desire to build a relationship and establish a connection, although it seems that their desire is more focused on physical intimacy than emotional.
Overall, "You Spin Me Round" is a fun, upbeat song with a catchy tune that perfectly captures the playful and carefree spirit of the 80s.

This music was made by "Sally can Dance." It was not made by "Eiffel 65." There are clear similarities between both groups because both worked on techno music in 1990-2000s. The confusion may have started because a fan of this song falsely credited "Eiffel 65" simply because they are a more popular group than "Sally can Dance." Others jumped the bandwagon and continue to falsely credit "Eiffel 65" for the song. On the video description, it clearly sates that the song was made by "Sally can Dance."

This is my favorite version of the song, and I knew that it was Sally Can Dance before I first saw that people thought it was by Eiffel 65. I do see the similarities though.
