"Spin Spin Sugar" is a single released by Sneaker Pimps from their debut album Becoming X.
The album version is in true Sneaker Pimps style and format. There is a driving bass line produced by a synthesizer keyboard. As the bass drives, there is a second synth loop playing above.
The song was featured in The Girl Next Door soundtrack in its radio edit form. A music video was made for the radio edit version and features the bandmates in what appears to be a highly colorized motel room, with many references to the film Psycho.
"Spin Spin Sugar" was further popularized in a speed garage remix by Armand Van Helden, which is sometimes credited with breaking speed garage into the mainstream for the first time. The remix appears in Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. Redbull.com included the remix in their "Honorable mentions" list of "underground UK garage classics that still sound fresh today".[1]
