Come On Eileen

Oh, I swear.

So it's Come on Eileen.

Yeah.

Who sings it?

So now it's time to move on.

Our number two, on the other side of the bracket, you've got Come On Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners.

Yes.

Wow.

That's what his mom called him, yeah.

All right, there's your text on the Luther Westside Volkswagen Target text line.

It's either come on Eileen, three separate words.

Yes,

For the Fine Young Cannibals, remember that late 80s group? Their smash hit, She Drives Me Crazy, was followed up by another number one song, Good Thing.

But for the Dexys Midnight Runners, who had the number one song, Come On Eileen, their U.S. released next hit was the Celtic Soul Brothers, a re-release, and it only hit number 86, and that's as high as they ever came up again in the United States.

Then you have a group like The Knack that had the number one song of 1979, My Sharona.

Well, their follow-up hit was a moderately placed hit called Good Girls Don't that peaked at number 11.

And remember, if you do make a response, you could be on this podcast.

song number 1447 had no follow-up.

Well, I mentioned it earlier in this podcast about how they had a re-release of the song, The Celtic Soul Brothers, which peaked at number 86, but that was the only time that they ever got as high as 86 after their number one smash, Come On Eileen.

Of course, I'm talking about the one-hit wonder Dexys Midnight Runners.

I'm familiar with that phenomenon, yeah.

Honorable mentions for the song When Smokey Sings by ABC, and Come On Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners, because they're all up-tempo, they get my moving.

I'm kind of bopping around, like-

So speaking of Dexys, do you or does anyone else know more than one song by that band?

Oh.

And I listened to a couple tracks on it, and it's actually, it sounds good.

I mean, obviously it's not the classic Come On Eileen, 'cause we all heard that a million times.

Mm-hmm.
