Watch out, here Flo Rida comes

  • January 6, 2009
  • Popjustice

'You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)' is a song that will never go away because it is deep within the planet's col­lect­ive con­scious­ness and is as much a part of being human as having a big poo.

For this reason it will, from time to time, find itself covered, sampled, rejigged, reswizzled, re-edited, repur­posed and rein­ter­preted. Eiffel 65, Jessica Simpson and Abs are just a few of the artists to have grappled with the track but the new Flo Rida track, 'Right Round', is pretty great.

It seems to be a song about oral sex.

HISTORICAL NOTE FOR YOUNGER READERS
A 'record' is like an old-fashioned iPod, except instead of holding 23 days' worth of music its memory could only contain about ten songs. Records can add a quality and a unique exper­i­ence (ie loads of noise and clicks) to a song and for that reason some people inex­plic­ably say they are better than CDs. They are people who prefer the ritual of placing the disc on the record player, pulling the arm across and gently allowing the needle to drop into the groove, ie the audio equialent of people who take too long making a simple cup of tea and by that we mean, of course, total mentalists.
