Been through the mtv 80's. Dexy's was kinda catchy/downer sound to it. Held my attention for 5 minutes. Then, next? Save Ferris' versions and video has a lot of punch and energy plus cute girl. Leave original in the dust.
this is definitely not gwen stefanis voice.. though no doubt had done a cover before.. but I'd not seen it on youtube as yet so don't bother finding it here :)

Sorry for being ignorant, hope i´m not offending anyone with this comment, but.... I clearly hear Gwen Stefani's voice. Actually, if you search this song by No doubt, is the same one, so..... who are this people and is this girl really singing?
Just because Dexy's Midnight Runners were better in your opinion doesn't make this version "shitty". I did like the original. However, I, personally, prefer the version by Save Ferris. I still find it confusing that people who don't like this song, or any for that matter, actually listen to them. Or even open them in the first place. Very confusing.
sorry man i was just really pissed off that day because rappers and other bands are copying music that other people created, like flo-ridas right round re-do god i hate it the original you spin me like a record is a much better song than flo-ridas crap
I hate the new version of you spin me like a record too but that's because they changed the lyrics to mean something bad rather than he just saw some girl and she blew his mind. The difference here is that this band kept most of the original lyrics and some of the original sound too. I also personally hate the newer version of Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger as well.
Yeah thats what I was trying to say but as I said before, I wasnt having a good day when I put the first comment, but I have to agree with you, at least they kept the lyrics and most of the song.
you will get kissed by the love of your life on a Saturday, tomorrow will be the best day of your life but you have to repost this, if you repost this in 2 songs you will die in two hours, but if you repost this to 5 songs it will truly be the best day of your life, when you're done, push f6 on your keyboard and the love of your life will appear in big letters...its scary but it works♥ CRUSH TEST ♥

I like the girl in this video. Hell I liked her when her name was Gwen Stefani. She is a blatant rip-off of Stefani's vocal style. Garbage. this is Garbage.
no, ska and skunk were from the 90's, bands like No Doubt, Sublime, and Reel Big Fish. Reel Big Fish are my favorite, my high school band teacher toured with them
sorry i should have added ska, is more of a pick me up or chilling music, metal is almost a get super pumped for snowboarding or something, lol sometimes ska is too though lol whatever music is music its personal preference
lol why do people take music so seriously, music doesnt have to make sense look at frank zappa, or the aquabats. Can't it just be fun and pleasant to listen, dance and/or sing along to
Lol exactly. I love both versions. But can you actually dance to death metal? Wouldn't your throat bleed if you sang to it? Just a thought. lol. but i love this band. or at least this song.
It's fine if you prefer the original. It's fine with me if you post that you do. Just don't come over here and start being a fat dick. It's a ska cover, and it's still soulful and sung well.
yeah well if you upset an emo aggro theyre bound to eventually kill themselves... and its a waste of coffin material and burial space if they die now...
