Spin Spin Sugar

Kelli Dayton sings; the album version runs 4:20 and the radio edit 3:36, with a driving synthesizer bass line and a second synth loop above it. It samples Luciano Berio's "Visage" (1961), and live versions often sampled Kraftwerk's "Boing Boom Tschak". Corner told Songfacts it was written basically as a dance track, kind of abstract so that you could interpret it in many ways, that the lack of a clear meaning was a bit of a cop-out, and that the aim was club-culture words a little more progressive or intellectual than dance; he also said Pickering did not write all the lyrics.

Released on Clean Up on March 3, 1997 with B-sides "Walk the Rain" and "How Do", it reached 21 in the UK, 1 on the UK Dance chart, 87 on the Hot 100 and 2 on US Hot Dance Club Songs. Music Week said the faster radio mix lost the album version's brooding menace; The Times called it a twitchy, dance-rock crossover song. Armand van Helden's Dark Garage Mix (9:05) is sometimes credited with bringing speed garage to the mainstream, and the single's other mixes include Farley and Heller's Fire Island Vocal Mix, Tuff and Jam's Unda-Vybe and Phluide's Creeping Vine Mix. Toby Tremlett directed the 1996 video. It was in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (2005). Setlist.fm shows 28 plays, second only to "6 Underground" at 30. We found no covers. We do not know which version our upload is.
