when I heard it on the news this morning, I immediately flashed on John Belushi's famous impersonation on SNL: Aykroyd, as Tom Snyder, interviewing Belushi, as DeLaurentiis, who (in exaggerated Italian accent) is defending his critically-panned remake of King Kong. "When-a Jaws-a die, nobody cry. But-a when-a my KONG-a die -- *everybody* cry!"  (couldn't find the clip on YT, but trust me, it was hilarious)
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round
