"Right Round" is a song performed by American rapper Flo Rida, released as the lead single from his second studio album, ''R.O.O.T.S.'' (2009). The song features guest vocals from Kesha. It was released to radio on 27 January 2009〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Available For Airplay Archive )〕 and was digitally released on 10 February by Poe Boy Entertainment and Atlantic Records. The song samples the chorus of the 1984 Dead or Alive song "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" in its hook. According to one of the song's writers, the chorus refers to oral sex. Kesha contributed guest vocals to the song, but was uncredited in the United States during the run atop the chart. Despite receiving mostly negative reviews, with critics claiming it was kitschy and misogynistic, the song was a commercial success, reaching the top ten of the charts in nineteen countries worldwide. In the United States, it became Flo Rida's second number-one single (staying at #1 for six consecutive weeks) and broke the record for first-week sales (636,000 downloads) when it was released to digital retailers; eventually, this record was broken by Adeles "Hello", which sold 1.11 million copies in its first week. The single's accompanying music video was directed by Malcolm Jones and nominated for an MTV Video Music Award. The song has been used in several movies, such as ''The Hangover'', ''The Ugly Truth'' and the Telugu movie ''Pilla Zamindar''. In the movie ''Pitch Perfect'', the song is performed by the a cappella group the Treblemakers. This song is the second track on ''Now 31''. ==Background and recording== "Right Round" was written by Flo Rida, Dr. Luke, Kool Kojak, DJ Frank E, Philip Lawrence, Bruno Mars, Aaron Bay-Schuck, and Dead or Alive, the band whose 1984 song, "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" is sampled in the chorus. The track was produced by Dr. Luke and Kool Kojak〔''R.O.O.T.S.'' (album liner notes). Atlantic Records. 2009.〕 and features guest vocals from American pop singer Kesha, (who was not credited on the American release of the single). At the end of 2008, Luke was working on a track with Flo Rida called "Right Round" and the two decided they needed a female hook. Luke pulled Kesha into the studio to record the vocals. According to Flo Rida, the song is about "a young lady, she might be in the strip club and she's got my head spinning round, () Or any young lady that I might see walking past me that's getting my attention. She got it going on! I'm going crazy over her." Flo Rida explained that he listened to "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" and similar records growing up as a result of the varying music genres his seven sisters listened to. Ultimately, his A&R Aaron Bay-Schuck came up with the idea to sample "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" in a song. Bay-Schuck told HitQuarters that he had been listening to a shuffle beat produced by DJ Frank E on a CD of potential beats and had kept hearing in his head the melody of the Dead or Alive song over the top of it.〔 Co-A&R Mike Caren then brought the sample to the attention of Flo Rida. As ''R.O.O.T.S.'' was Flo Rida's second studio album, he wanted to show listeners musical growth by "broaden() my horizons," which was why he decided to record the song. After Luke produced the sample, the song was recorded. In the same night the song was written Aaron Bay-Schuck, Bruno Mars and Philip Lawrance decided to go to the studio and make the initially recording.〔 It was recorded primarily at Conway Studios in Hollywood, California, with additional recording at Atlantic Studios, also located in Hollywood.〔 This is the first of three collaborations between Flo Rida and Dr. Luke. The songs "Who Dat Girl" and "Good Feeling" would follow. Also, with the use of the DJ Frank E shuffle beat in the song's production, this is the first of four collaborations between Flo Rida and DJ Frank E. The two would later actually meet together and collaborate on the songs "Me & U", "Turn Around (5, 4, 3, 2, 1)", and more famously, "Whistle". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Right Round」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
