You Spin Me AroundDead Or Alive
They were formed in Liverpool, England, in 1980.
With a feminine look yet a wild vocal style, Pete Burns had a commanding presence, and the group is also said to have pioneered the programmed sound that later became the foundation of Eurobeat.
“You Spin Me Around” was a hit tune that was spun at virtually every disco in Japan during the bubble era, and it still sounds fresh today largely thanks to Pete’s distinctive vocals.

“Basket Case,” from the 1994 album Dookie, topped the Modern Rock chart.
