A song to make your head spin

The original of this song was a huge success on both sides of the Atlantic. Originally recorded by Tommy Roe, it spent four weeks as the US number 1 hit in 1969.

The musical composition of this song is what makes it particularly interesting. The song progresses through 11 key changes across four keys.

Boney M, Mike Melvoin and The Deadbeats, and even Bob the Builder, covered Tommy Roe’s “Dizzy” in the years that followed its release.
