No idea who eileen is.



1981

1981, you've got no excuse, then, especially since Reel Big Fish covered the song.
I guess it came out in 1982 but it was ubiquitous throughout the '80s.
Come On Eileen
performed by Dexy's Midnight Runners

Poor old Johnny Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio, he moved a million hearts in mono.
Our mothers cried and sang along and who'd blame them.
Now you're grown, so grown, now I must say more than ever.
Go Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye-Aye
and we can sing just like our fathers.

Come on Eileen,
I swear (well he means) At this moment you mean everything,
With you in that dress my thoughts I confess verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen.

These people round here wear beaten down eyes
Sunk in smoke dried faces they're so resigned to what their fate is,
But not us, no not us we are far too young and clever.
Remember Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye-Aye
Eileen I'll hum this tune forever.

Come on Eileen, I swear, well he means
Ah come on let's take off everything,
That pretty red dress Eileen (Tell him yes)
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen, please.

1981... you should have heard this song.

I take it you've never been to a bar during karaoke night.

Hah ah, so you have heard it before?

Man, you haven't lived college unless you've watched drunktards singing karaoke. The only problem is when you get hammered and find yourself on stage...

Well, come on, it was a year after I was born :)

So what. My music includes things from the 30's and 40's.

Not everyone knows music from the time they were born. Who cares


FYI, the song also played in Tommy Boy
