The original: Dead or Alive, 1984
Dead or Alive released "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" as a single on 5 November 1984, the lead single of their album Youthquake. It reached number one on the UK Singles Chart in March 1985, 17 weeks after its release, and number 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in August 1985. The Chipmunks covered it 25 years later.
Chipmunks dance song on TikTok: the remix
Most Chipmunks dance videos do not use the soundtrack track itself. In about 300 posts we read on 3 November 2026, the most used sound was a remix posted as "original sound" by Spotifyremixes_, followed by another uploader’s "original sound". Many versions run about 25 seconds and switch to a different beat after the swaps. Because the sound is listed under uploaders’ names, searching the song title in TikTok often does not find it: open a Chipmunks dance video and tap its sound instead.

Is the Chipmunks dance song from the movie?
The song is: the Chipmunks recorded it for the 2009 Squeakquel soundtrack. The dance is not; it comes from TikTok. If you hear a different beat take over in the middle of a video, that is a TikTok remix, not the soundtrack version.
