James Roderick Moir (born 24 January 1959), better known by the stage name Vic Reeves, is an English comedian, artist, actor and television presenter, best known for his double act with Bob Mortimer (see Vic and Bob). He is known for his surreal and non sequitur sense of humour.
In 2003, Reeves and Mortimer were listed in The Observer as one of the 50 funniest acts in British comedy. In a 2005 poll to find the Comedians' Comedian, Reeves and Mortimer were voted the 9th greatest comedy act ever by fellow comedians and comedy insiders.
Career
After school, Reeves undertook an apprenticeship in mechanical engineering, before moving to London.
Reeves also formed the Fashionable Five, a group of five friends (including Jack Dent, who ran the original Fan Club) who would follow bands like The Enid and Free onto stage, and perform pranks (including Reeves pretending to have a brass hand, and following a Terry Scott lookalike around Darlington town centre in single file formation). Eventually, they formed their own band. Reeves had an early breakthrough with the help of comedian Malcolm Hardee.

Dizzy
by: Vic ReevesDizzy,
i'm so dizzy, my head is spinning
like a whirlpool, it never ends
and it's you girl, making it spin
you're making me dizzy
The first time that i saw you, girl
i knew that i just had to make you mine
but it's so hard to talk to you with fellas
hanging 'round ya all the time
I want you for my sweet pet,
but you keep playing hard to get
you're going round in circle all the time
Dizzy,
i'm so dizzy, my head is spinning
like a whirlpool, it never ends
and it's you girl, making it spin
you're making me dizzy
Finally got to talk to you,
and i told you just exactly how i felt,
then i held you close to me,
and i kissed you, and my heart began to melt
Girl you've got control of me
'cause i'm so dizzy, i can't see
i need to call a doctor for some help
Dizzy,
i'm so dizzy, my head is spinning
like a whirlpool, it never ends
and it's you girl, making it spin
you're making me dizzy, my head is spinning
like a whirlpool, it never ends
and it's you girl, making it spin
you're making me dizzy
I'm dizzy
I'm dizzy
Like a whirlpool
