Come On Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners

I love this song. I heard it in a store the other day and didn't know what song it was. I tried listening to the lyrics so I could look up them later but I couldn't hear them well. I finally discovered what song it is after looking up songs that recently played on the radio. [media=https://youtu.be/HwVnX4ZgliY]

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout It's a funny and memorable title/lyric and a good song. You can't not make jokes about it. 😂

Written as a composite for all the girls Kevin Rowland knew as a boy but did not know how to approach.

Come on, Eileen, oh, I swear well he means
At this moment you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty, oh, come on Eileen

@meJess It's a great lyric that I didn't really appreciate when I bought the single as a child. ;)

Get the "Shazam" app for your phone. No more trying to remember lyrics.
Just click and in seconds it tells you what song you're listening to.

That is one of many songs I just can't not dance to when it plays on the radio.

It's a great name for a band.

Calling themselves The Amphetamines might have been a step too far for the Great British pop-single buying public. ;)

They constantly play this song on the classic radio stations down here.

I have absolutely hated it from day one. It tops my list of most hated tunes.

80s pop was a high tide mark for that genre. It’s no wonder we sample it to death.

It's similar to Meatloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" in terms of theme?
