First time SEEING Dead Or Alive - You Spin Me Round! Lol WHAT!?

You're overthinking. Just have fun. Back in the 80s, we listened, we danced, we partied. People didn't get triggered or worry about stuff so much.

I was 15 when this came out. It was heavy rotation on MTV. I think every Gen Xer knows this song! And no one got "triggered". Probably because we had already seen Culture Club.

The 80's was all about breaking gender stereotypes contrary to today. Androgyny was the name of the game. Annie Lennox from the Eurythmics is a female example. Being a teenager in the 80's was an amazing time with such diversity on so many levels.

In the 80s everyone wore make-up. Motley crue, Ozzy, Ratt, Poison, Prince, absolutely everyone.

It was a time when androgynous performers were commonplace. From glam in the 70s, to hair metal in the 80s and New Wave club bands from England. Prince was an inheritor of the style as was the visual kei scene of Japan with bands like X-Japan and Malice Mizer. It's music. It's art. And it is a statement. Freedom comes in many forms.

He was ENTERTAINING people (and we were VERY entertained in the 80's). The band was just pure fun. No deep thoughts required.

The 80s - big hair, outrageous clothes and good dance music

"How do I address this properly" Just enjoy the song. Who cares who is gay, bi or straight. It isn't necessary to enjoy the song

This was the 80’s and many male performers and bands wore makeup; Prince, David Bowie, Boy George, Duran Dura, Depeche Mode, Steven Tyler (Aerosmith), Mick Jagger, Iggy Pop, Ozzy Osborne, Motley Crew, Pete Burns, Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day), and of course Kiss, plus many more. They also had big hair and many wore androgynous or unisex clothing. It probably raises more eyebrows now than it did back then. BTW Paul Rudd and Jimmy Fallon did a perfect cover of this one night on the Tonight Show.

I can't see it now without Paul Rudd 🤣

Yes this is the original song, all the others are copies. Marilyn Manson did a great cover

R I P Pete burns he didn't give a f##k .

RIP Pete Burns. A man who dressed as a woman but knew he was a man and not a woman and married a woman and then a man

Wow, you are so obsessed with stereotypes. I was raised in the 50s & 60s and had one idea of what male and females look like. Part of the rock world is to push and break stereotypes. I get you were raised one way but I hope this journey you are on will help you get to the point that you don't judge a book by its cover.

BP, just enjoy the music and not overjudge what you don't understand. This is a classic pop song, one of the best of the 80's. You're kind of oldfashioned

Pete Burns was a gorgeous man. He eventually went too far with the plastic surgeries, but before he did that, he was one fine looking man. The guys definitely gave us a run for our money back then because a lot of them could do their hair and makeup so damn good. ❤❤❤

It's the 80's baby!! This was not an unusual look for singers at the time lead by Boy George, Culture Club and the whole glam rock movement. Love this song it's a great whirligig of a number.

Lots of guys in the 80s would wear make-up when clubbing. It wasn't a big deal at all. My next door neighbor, a straight male, would regularily ask me to do his black eyeliner when he was going out dancing and to pick up on chicks. Totally acceptable. Men and women both had "big hair." It was just a fashion trend. Glam Rock. New Wave. It was a theatrical look.

Pete Burns was an icon in Liverpool in the late 1970's early 80's, he worked in a record shop called PROBE. Pete had this style back in 1978 the way he dressed in all black and looked with his black contact lenses was totally unique and copied by Boy George which become the source of rivalry between them! His first ban The Mystery Girls then become Dead or Alive. Pete was married to Lynne and later had a civil partnership/husband. Pete was a big guy and good luck to anyone who tried to insult him. Pete Burns and his unique style was around for years before Culture Club and Boy George hit the scene! He was an icon and a real character on the Punk/New Wave scene in the late 70's early 80's. R.I.P to Pete Burns a talent who had his style, look and thunder copied!

Every thing about the video is the 80’s. Just the way it was back then.
