Influence
I happened to write "Spinning Around," that I gave to Kylie Minogue. She hadn't done a record in seven years and was looking for a great dance number. It literally re-launched her career, and when all these kids came into audition for Pop Idol, they sang "Spinning Around."
—Paula Abdul on the song, to Ocala Star-Banner.Due to the title of the song it has been used regularly in reference to politics, for example BBC Radio 5 Live's coverage of the 2000 US presidential election and Andrew Marr's news report on Tony Blair's resignation speech.
