"Dizzy" is a song originally recorded by Tommy Roe which was a worldwide smash in 1969.
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 and for a single week on the UK singles chart in June 1969.
Subsequently recorded by such disparate artists as Boney M, Mike Melvoin and the Deadbeats and Billy J. Kramer, it had its greatest subsequent success when it became a number-one in the UK for two weeks in November 1991 for comedian Vic Reeves and The Wonder Stuff.
In 1989 it was sampled by De La Soul on their album Three Feet High and Rising in the track "The Magic Number".
In 1994 it was covered by Babe on their album 4 Babe pesme, Babe version titled "Dizel".
A version of the song has been recorded by Bob the Builder, with the lyrics referring to Bob's concrete mixer, Dizzy.
