My first time in the UK. I walked into a pub and this song was playing. Everyone was singing and dancing. I'll never forget that night. Puts a smile on my face every time I hear this one.
i love the young, mischievous, adventurous version of Come on Eileen and now this more matured, lived, love and learned version is the bomb. Come on Eileen has come full circle for me. Thank you Dexy's Midnight Runners!!
@@mooghead Steps, you mean. Considering it's a 40 year old song, only needing to shift the key slightly is pretty good considering how high the original song was.
@@moogheadThe verses in the original version is in the key of "C". This version is in the key of "G". At least the lead singer is not trying to be something he's not
Summer 1982 in a caravan in Caister, I was 13 not ole enough to go the holiday site disco. This amazing song was played it felt like on repeat. Jesus, I wanted to be in that disco, who was Eileen, what was too rye aye, why those clothes? The genius of it all, thank you Kevin.
Absolutely love this tune! I still remember: I was a Sr. at the University of Texas in Austin. This song blended in so well with that Austin culture - and still does!
its funny I can remember the first time i saw and heard this song. I was in a video arcade called dark star. they had four tvs all with Mtv on. almost 40 years later and I still enjoy.
Man, I wish I had the cash to catch them at their upcoming show in Minnesota. I found out way too late, guess I'll settle for the vicarious youtube experience.
Poor old Johnny Ray of course i had no idea who that was my mother heard me playing this and said she would find an old record she did and i heard him singing cry and when his voice broke 🤗
Song is great and happy Sad that he has not aged well, and his voice is gone but give him credit for trying. He made a lot of people happy at this venue and around the world. I hope he survives whatever illness he has contracted.

No matter where this song drops I dance Reminds me of a happier time
It definitely was a happier time.
Indeed! A very happy time happy🎉🎉
LOVE this song and the 80s! It makes me feel a little sad and nostalgic as the world sucks so bad right now. Love live overalls!! 😂😂😂
SAME!!!❤
This is a classic!!!!
Take me back to 82 when the world was more fun
This song brings on waves of nostalgia for what was a pretty good time in my life.
Back then, this song was always appreciated for what it was. I was too cool for anything like this back then though. heh! Today? Masterpiece
It all went by in the blink of the eye.
40 years later still listening😂
Fantastic I'm 62 now and this song brought me back to high school

Better than I was expecting! God bless!!!
Good to hear they can still perform it like it should be performed!
2 octaves lower...
@@moogheadtwo octaves lower would be subsonic, I think you mean two steps

Just not the same with a lower pitch, changes the whole dynamic

Awsome to hear this after all these yrs .. !!! ...I would assume thats the original lead singer ?? .. How many other original members are playing ??
He can still hit those notes. AMAZING
Bus voice is still amazing
Music is louder than voices. Still great song.
Mybep you're a sound engineer?
Wouldn't mind hearing "Celtic Soul Brothers" live too

My wife's name is Eileen. True story. So, at every wedding.....
So when you sing this to her, does she blush?
Yup.
