A 45 year old would have been 11 years old when the song was originally released in 1985.  That's a bit young for some to be wired into pop culture.

It was a hit in the USA but not as huge as it was in Britain.

But it also seeped into pop culture in TV and movies as a usually comic call back to the decade. So even if you missed it back then, it's still been around. Right round.

Maybe he knows the song but just didn't know the song was called You Spin Me Round. Kind of like how Bohemian Rhapsody isnt mentioned

He claims he has never heard the song before.

I assume you mean he actually listened to the song and didn't recognize it?

Because I'm one of those people who often can't remember names of songs and/or who sang what.  You can name songs/singers and I'll be shuked but then I hear them and it turns out they're obvious and I can even sing along.  Of course, "You Spin Me Round" is descriptive enough of a title for me that I knew it right away - but if you played the song and asked me to name it I couldn't, and there's no way I would have been able to tell you that Dead or Alive was the band.

This song, right?

Never heard it until a few minutes ago. Definitely have never heard it. Doesn’t even seem remotely familiar.

As mentioned earlier, did not see “The Wedding Singer.”

 
In 1984 I was listening to Synchronicity by The Police (first album/cassette I ever bought) and probably Thriller about 90 times a day. Those other guys just weren't my genre de préférence, esé.

 
Someone I personally know has never heard of the band Jethro Tull. This person is in their late 40's. This person also attended Bob Jones University. So there is that....

 
ive never not heard it the thing is i suffer from a condition called doainitus which is like ringing in your ears except the ringing is right round take that to the bank bromigos
