Vic Reeves The Wonder Stuff 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
The first time that I saw you, girl
I knew that I just had to make you mine
Hanging 'round ya all the time
I want you for my sweet pet,
But you keep playing hard to get
You're going round in circle 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
Finally got to talk to you,
And I told you just exactly how I felt,
Then I held you close to me,
And I kissed you, and my heart began to melt
Girl you've got control of me
'Cause I'm so dizzy, I can't see
I 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, my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it's you girl, making it spin
You're making me Dizzy
I'm Dizzy
I'm Dizzy
Like a whirlpool
Dizzy

The lyrics to Vic Reeves/Wonderstuff's song Dizzy are about a man's infatuation with a girl who he finds irresistible. He describes feeling dizzy and like his head is spinning like a whirlpool because of her. He expresses his desire to make her his “sweet pet” but is finding it hard to talk to her due to other men’s presence. He finally manages to talk to her and expresses his feelings, which leads to them kissing, and him feeling like he's losing control. He concludes the song by repeatedly saying "I'm Dizzy", "Like a whirlpool" and "Dizzy".
The song was actually a cover version of a 1969 hit by Tommy Roe, who wrote the song with Freddy Weller. Roe's original version of the song reached Number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in July 1969. The cover version by Vic Reeves and The Wonderstuff was released in 1991, and unexpectedly became the UK's Christmas Number 1 single that year! The song's catchy melody, upbeat tempo, and memorable lyrics contributed to its success.

Back in 91 and only 10 years old. It was Saturday morning and I'd gone around to my friends house for early morning cartoons, then this song came on just after. It was the clearest blue sky and the summer sun was shining. There was nothing else to do after but go play football. I was living the good life and I never even knew it.
MadFranko008
I take it you don't live in the UK then if you recall it being a clear blue sky with the summer sun shining !!!
The song wasn't released until the end of October of 1991 when summer was long since gone...
Either that or your memory is playing tricks on you... 😉

@MadFranko008 I recall this classic masterpiece by Vic Reeves in 1991. I'm from Australia also ... so, i'm guessing that safeasfukbruvaaaaa could be from here too. Young Vic here was a legend and still is to this day.
MadFranko008
@Gonny Hmmm... haven't got scooby doo who this "safeasfukbruvaaaaa" is !!! or why you think he/ she might be from Australia !!!
But the only other person here in this thread is the OP called "RileyLad81" who I replied too and he doesn't say where he is from !!! 🤔🤨
