"Dizzy" is a song originally recorded by Tommy Roe; it became an international hit single in 1969.[2] Instrumental backing was provided by the Los Angeles session musicians known as the Wrecking Crew.
Co-written by Roe and Freddy Weller, "Dizzy" was a major hit on both sides of the Atlantic, reaching number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks in March 1969, for one week on the UK Singles Chart in June 1969, and was number one in Canada in March 1969.
On October 14, 1991,[12] a cover of "Dizzy" recorded by English comedianVic Reeves and alternative rock band the Wonder Stuff was released in the United Kingdom, reaching number one in the UK Singles Chart and staying there for two weeks.[8] It was a top-three hit in Australia, peaking at number three, and it also charted in Austria, Ireland, and New Zealand. This added another key change to the 11 that already exist (from F major to G major).[citation needed]
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 frontmanMiles Hunt, playing a tambourine and singing backing vocals.[13]
