If I Get to Know Your Name

I wasn't sure if today's lead singer was a girl or guy for a long time... and I'm still not 100% sure. With flags a waving, a pirate's patch, and a disco ball, it's the weird British new wave band Dead or Alive with their one hit wonder song "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)"...
