Music Video
The accompanying music video for "Spinning Around", directed by Dawn Shadforth, was shot in two days. The video, often considered a metamorphosis in Minogue's career, portrays her accented by a tiny pair of gold lamé hot pants, dancing at a nightclub. The pants were found by Minogue's friend at a market, and were bought for about 50p. Minogue later revealed the inspiration and idea behind the music video:
"One of my producers said he really liked video for 'Some Kind of Bliss' and when I asked why, he said, 'Well, it was the little denim hot pants.' So I made a mental note. The concept for the 'Spinning Around' video is basically people having fun in a night-club and I just thought: 'Hot Pants!'"

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“If music in general is an imitation of history, opera in particular is an imitation of human willfulness; it is rooted in the fact that we not only have feelings but insist upon having them at whatever cost to ourselves.... The quality common to all the great operatic roles, e.g., Don Giovanni, Norma, Lucia, Tristan, Isolde, Brünnhilde, is that each of them is a passionate and willful state of being. In real life they would all be bores, even Don Giovanni.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
