Dead or Alive’s 1985 hit “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)” has been covered and sampled many times, but few tributes have been as hilariously spot-on as Paul Rudd and Jimmy Fallon’s recreation of the original music video. Their playful homage, aired on The Tonight Show, became an instant sensation, racking up 11.4M views and proving that some ’80s classics never lose their charm.

Rudd fully committed to the role of Pete Burns, mirroring the late singer’s signature look—eye patch, teased hair, and bold 1980s fashion—while Fallon took on the part of Steve Coy, complete with flowing strawberry-blonde locks.

The duo didn’t just dress the part; they meticulously recreated every scene, from the swirling camera angles to the exaggerated dance moves. The Thousand Arm Dance, the ribbon twirling, the dramatic flag-waving—it was all there.

Their dedication went beyond visuals. Rudd hilariously channeled Burns’ dramatic vocal stylings, delivering an exaggerated yet shockingly accurate performance. Fallon, as always, brought his signature comedic touch, making the entire skit feel like a love letter to ‘80s pop excess.

The result? A flawless blend of nostalgia, comedy, and musical accuracy that had fans both laughing and applauding.

Paul Rudd’s fans can’t get enough of this hilarious video, flooding the comments with praise. Many are calling it one of his best comedic moments, with some even saying it’s “too perfect to be a parody. One viewer summed it up best, commenting, “The hilarious thing about this other than their spot on rendition, is that they are in no way exaggerating the original performance or video.”
