...but in plastic surgery hell. Pete is turning 52 today, and despite his bizarre appearance, his voice is still as strong as ever. Back in 1984 Dead or Alive released their giant hit
You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) and it hasn't gone away since. The song is definitely one of the biggest, most recognizable hits of that decade; however, Pete has become unrecognizable. His appearance was always a bit of a shock, but since Dead or Alive hit the States after Boy George and Culture Club, his androgyny was a little out of this world. Maybe he is super-happy with most of what he's done to his face (although he has gone public with his dissatisfaction with his lips), so who am I to judge. Dead or Alive did have a few more hits on the charts, including other classics like
Come Home With Me Baby,
Brand New Lover (my personal fave) and
Lover 
Come Back to Me, but the band's signature hit is still
You Spin Me Round. The song hit the UK charts again in 1996, 2003 AND 2006. Hey, why fight it? Regardless, here are some of the hot hits that the 80s band put out that burned up the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. Just a little nostalgia for ya today. Happy birthday, Pete.
