Watch out, here I come!

If I, I get to know your name
Well, if I could trace 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

I set my sights on you
(And no one else will do)
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

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, I got to be your friend now, baby
And I would like to move in just a little bit closer

All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' 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 want your love
I want your love

All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' 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

Same here!  ...We must be getting senile!  It is much better in FLAC through great equipment.  Thanx RP!

Yes, don't you recognize this Gordon Lightfoot classic?  Fun tune, especially the yodeling bits.

I gave this song a 10 because this song came out when I was a senior in college and everything was awesome.

If that’s rock in your world, I’m from another planet, give your head a shake, that’s machine produced crap.

it's not really rock, it's not really a good song. But hypnotizing from time to time

Now Pete Burns is dead too, just 57 years old. Much too young to die. Pity.{#Silenced}

One of the 80s songs that didn't age very well imho.

Awesome, classic RP head spinner!  Used to dance my brains out to this back in the day.  (That would be the day that tilled the earth for today's raves, fer you youngsters out that in RP land)

This is just a flat out fun sheik yer booty tune, thanks RP.

(snicker). Really thought my radio had shifted to the local 80's hit station by accident. But you know? Here's the thing - all you critics out there (and I count myself as one), in case you haven't noticed, Bill and Rebbecca play what the want to, regardless of the opinions of the opiners out there. I don't love this song, and it's out of left field for this venue, but I love the fact that these guys will just throw an occasional monkey wrench into the works. Perhaps they do it to burst a few armchair critic spleens (well deserved with a number of you h8rs). And it IS kinda toe-tapping. Either way, good job guys, thanks.

 
Nice, civilized response. These guys have one of the most well thought-out playlists I've heard. I'll forgive them for a little 80s cheese.

As a 90s kid, I can totally see how it got overplayed in 80s, 9.

It was painful in the 80's

Now it's painful and dated

Total 80's classic - there were no clubs that did not spin this one!
Posted 8 years ago by aspicer    [ Reply ]
Among my least favorite songs from the era. An ear worm in the extreme. Why not Yaz/Erasure/Depeche Mode rather than Dead or Alive? Oh, well... RP still rules!

This is in some video game promo video my son likes. So he'll be happy to hear it here.
 
As much as Pete Burns always seemed like a poor man's Boy George, I do recall him seeming like someone who was a fan of music, basically just a cool guy. Kind of maybe went off the rails later, but when this came out I thought he represented his music well. So, 6.
