Dizzy

Vic Reeves & The Wonder Stuff

"Dizzy" is a song originally recorded by Tommy Roe; it became an international hit single in 1969. Instrumental backing was provided by the Los Angeles session musicians known as the Wrecking Crew. On 14 October 1991 a cover of "Dizzy" recorded by English comedian Vic Reeves and the alternative rock band The Wonder Stuff was released in the United Kingdom, reaching number one in the UK Singles Chart in the third week of release and staying there for two weeks. This added another key change to the 11 that already exist (from F major to G major). The music video features Reeves and the band performing on stage, with a row of washing machines in the background. Vic's comedy partner Bob Mortimer appears in the background with Wonder Stuff frontman Miles Hunt, playing a tambourine and singing backing vocals.
