1. The Bats are an influential New Zealand rock band formed in 1982 in Christchurch by Paul Kean (bass), Malcolm Grant (drums), Robert Scott (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, keyboards) and Kaye Woodward (lead guitar, vocals). Though primarily a Christchurch band, The Bats have strong links to Dunedin and are usually grouped in with the Dunedin Sound musicians that emerged in the early 1980s. The band has retained the same four members from 1982 to the present day.
Approaching a quarter century of recording and performing, Christchurch, New Zealand's The Bats have survived seven albums and five world tours with the original line-up of Kaye Woodward, Malcolm Grant, Paul Kean and Robert Scott intact. With a sound at the jangle/indie end of the pop spectrum, the band made significant headway in the States in the 80s alongside Flying Nun label-mates The Chills and The Clean. The 90s saw tours of the US and Europe, supporting the likes of Radiohead, Belly, and R.E.M.. Paul, Kaye, and Malcolm form side-project Minisnap; Bob has released solo work and can also be found in The Clean and The Magick Heads.
2. The Bats was an American band, formed in the early 1980s and featured Jon Brion, Don Riff and Bill Murphy. They released the album How Pop Can You Get? on Gustav records in 1982. They disbanded after critical acclaim, but little commercial success.
3. Dubbed South Africa's answer to the Beatles, the pop group The Bats was formed in October 1964 and consisted of group members Eddie Eckstein (drums/vocals), Barry Jarman (guitar/trumpet/concertina), Jimmy Dunning (guitar) and Paul Ditchfield (keyboard/guitar/bass/vocals). Paul, Barry and Eddie knew each other well and had wanted to form a group for a long time, but had been prevented from doing so by their respective contracts with various bands.
Barry suggested they form a beat trio with the express purpose of making records. Jimmy Dunning, who had played with them before, was unanimously nominated to fill the gap of lead guitarist. After finally getting together, they arranged an audition with Matt Mann, then A & R Manager at G.R.C. (and later owner of RPM Record Company), who signed them to the CBS label and produced their first single, All I Got. The group were quibbling with each other about an appropriate name. In an attempt to restore order, Matt Mann yelled "You're All Bats!" and so "The Bats" was born.
4. The Bats were an Irish beat band of the 1960s. They were regulars at Belfast's Maritime Club. Only a few of the band's recordings were released, on a 1966 compilation LP called 'Ireland's Greatest Sounds: Five Groups from Belfast's Maritime Club' and one single of their own, 'Accept It', on Columbia Records (a cover version of a Burt Bacharach song).

The Bats Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm so dizzy, my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, making it spin
You're making me dizzy
First time that I saw you, girl, I knew that I just had to make you mine
But it's so hard to talk to you with fellas hanging round you all the time
But you keep playing hard to get
Running round in circles all the time
Dizzy
I'm so dizzy, my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, making it spin
You're making me dizzy
I finally got to talk to you and told you just exactly how I felt
Then I held you close to me and kissed you and my heart began to melt
Girl, you've got control of me
I'm so dizzy I can't see
Need to call a doctor for some help
Dizzy
I'm so dizzy, my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you, girl, making it spin
You're making me dizzy
You're making me dizzy
You're making me dizzy
You're making me dizzy
The lyrics of The Bats' song "Dizzy" describe the singer's overwhelming infatuation with a girl. He feels so dizzy and overwhelmed that it's as if his head is constantly spinning like a whirlpool. The girl is the one responsible for making him feel this way.
In the first verse, the singer explains that from the moment he first saw the girl, he knew he had to make her his. However, it's difficult for him to approach her because there are always other guys around her. Despite the challenges, he still wants her to be his, but she keeps playing hard to get and constantly runs in circles, making it difficult for him to catch her attention.
In the second verse, the singer finally gets the chance to talk to the girl and express his true feelings. The moment they embrace and kiss, his heart starts to melt. The girl has complete control over him, and he feels so dizzy that he can't even see straight. He humorously suggests that he may need to call a doctor for help because of how intensely he is affected by her.
Overall, the lyrics capture the singer's desperate desire to be with this girl who constantly keeps him in a state of dizziness and confusion. The whirlpool imagery emphasizes the overwhelming nature of his infatuation and how it feels like he is constantly being pulled in different directions.
