"Turn Around and Count 2 Ten" is the lead single by British band Dead or Alive from their fourth studio album Nude. Despite that its UK Singles Chart success was limited to the Top 100 (No. 70 peak), the song reached No. 2 in the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart as well as being No. 1 for 17 weeks in Japan. Two edits were made of the video (the single version and "The Pearl and Dean "I Had A Disco Dream" Mix).
