Ah, bubblegum: mindless, shallow stuff for kids, dismissed snootily by moody teenagers in its late-sixties heyday.

Oh, that would be me then. It would be idle to pretend that I’ve ever been a fan of this sort of stuff, but this, it must be said, is pretty catchy.

And the video’s probably worth watching as a strong candidate for the title of most insouciant miming ever seen.

Dizzy
I’m so dizzy my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it’s you, girl, making it spin
You’re making me dizzy

First time that I saw you, girl
I knew that I just had to make you mine
But it’s so hard to talk to you
With fellas hanging ’round you all the time

I want you for my sweet pet
But you keep playing hard to get
I’m going around in circles all the time

Dizzy
I’m so dizzy my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it’s you, girl, making it spin
You’re making me dizzy

I finally got to talk to you
And I told you just exactly how I felt
Then I held you close to me
And kissed you and my heart began to melt

Girl, you’ve got control on me
‘Cause I’m so dizzy I can’t see
I need to call a doctor for some help

Dizzy
I’m so dizzy my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool, it never ends
And it’s you, girl, making it spin
You’re making me dizzy, my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool it never ends
And it’s you girl making it spin

You’re making me dizzy
You’re making me dizzy
I’m so dizzy
You’re making me dizzy
