"Dizzy" is a song originally recorded by Tommy Roe that became an international hit single in 1969.[1] Instrumental backing was provided by the Los Angeles session musicians known as the Wrecking Crew.

Cowritten by Roe and Freddy Weller, "Dizzy" was a major hit on both sides of the Atlantic, reaching number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks in March 1969, number one for one week on the UK Singles Chart in June 1969 and number one in Canada in March 1969.

The song was later recorded by artists such as Boney M, Wreckless Eric and Billy J. Kramer. A 1991 cover version by Vic Reeves and the Wonder Stuff reached number one in the UK. The song has also been covered by Bob the Builder (voiced by Neil Morrisey) on the character's debut album in 2001 changing the lyrics to be about the character Dizzy.
