Certainly. Up there in my top ten. A song of sheer joy. The ecstasy of young lust and raw, unashamed sexuality. It can take us back to that young, almost innocent emotional high. Love, lust. Can’t separate them in this genius song.
Yeah I really did love it for my whole life until someone shed light on it being about a young and underage girl that dude was wanting when she was a little girl, then after she got old enough he was able to let her know how he felt about her without having his head beat in by her daddy 😂😢
I loved hearing this song on Perks of Being a Wallflower. I'd heard it way before I saw the movie, but it was nice to see how they incorporated it into the movie. This song just makes you want to get up & dance!!
@@RingoBongo-it9wxhere I am in July 2023- less than a month until I turn 49 and I had to play this again like so many times in the past! They don’t make them like they used to!
I remember listening to this song as a kid... It was one of my favorites, and still is. I thank my parents every now and then for listening to good music.
32yrs I've known this song, it was number 1 when I started my first job aged 16, August 1982, and for the first time in ALL that time, I've actually understood the lyrics, and their meaning............I could go to the foot of our stairs in amazement.
I remember dancing on my brother's feet to this song as my mom sat by the window and wrote in her notebook. I've never been happier to find this song in my life.
This song was #1 when I graduated from high school in 1983; and today, for the first time, I just read the lyrics! Wow doesn't sound anything like I was singing! LOL!! Thanks for posting lyrics and solving a few mysteries!
Well you know what they always say............................Toora, Loora, Toora, Loo-Rye-Aye.....You probably thought i was going to sing that part with youre name, but nope :D
He is talking about a child he has obviously been around that is "now grown" , pretty sure he was on some creep stuff. Dexy midnight runner was slang for speed back then. Weird 70s stuff😂
You are so right lol I couldn't believe it the first time I saw the lyrics at the same time the song was playing 😂 it was like getting a whole new song and I still couldn't sing all the words correctly 😂
I knew about this song way before The Perks Of Being A Wallflower (amazing movie, by the way). This song has been a favorite of mine for a long time xD Living room routine anyone? xD (I had to)
No I meant that I just stopped and realized it at nineteen years old, I've heard this song at least fifty times and it just clicked for me... I'm so ashamed!
I used to sing this song in the car when I was under 10 and only now do I realise what the lyrics mean at about 14 . . . . . *Sings along anyway* " *Come On Eileen* *Come On Eileen* *Poor old Johnny Ray* *Sounded sad upon the radio* *But he moved a million hearts in mono* *Our mothers cried* *Sang along* *Who'd blame them* *You've grown, so grown* *Now I must say more than ever* *Come On Eileen* Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye* *And we can sing just like our fathers* *Come on Eileen* *Oh, I swear what he means (what he means)* *At this moment you mean everything* *You in that dress* *My thoughts I confess* *Verge on dirty* *Oh, come on Eileen* *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, never* *No, not us no, never* *We are far too young and clever remember* *Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye* *And you'll hum this tune forever* *Come on Eileen* *Oh, I swear what he means* *Aah, come on let's* *Take off everything* *That pretty red dress* *Eileen tell him yes* *Aah, come on let's* *Aah, come on Eileen* *That pretty red dress* *Eileen tell him yes* *Aah, come on let's* *Aah, come on Eileen* *Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye* *Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye* *Now you're full grown* *Now you have shown* *Oh, Eileen* *Say, come on Eileen* *These things they are real and I know* *How you feel* *Now I must say more than ever* *Things round here have changed* *I say, too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye-aye* *Come on Eileen* *Oh, I swear what he means* *At this moment, you mean everything* *You in that dress, my thoughts I confess* *Verge on dirty* *Aah, come on Eileen* *Aah, come on Eileen* *Oh, I swear what he means* *At this moment, you mean everything* *You in that dress, my thoughts I confess* *Well, they're dirty* *Come on Eileen* *Come on Eileen...* "
OMG, I felt like I was alone.....this is one of my all time favorite songs!! I blare it down the street and don't care. Thanks I came to your page after seeing you liked my 80's video:)

Anyone else still listening to this is 2024

Certainly. Up there in my top ten.
A song of sheer joy.
The ecstasy of young lust and raw, unashamed sexuality.
It can take us back to that young, almost innocent emotional high. Love, lust. Can’t separate them in this genius song.
I randomly found this song again after so many years in my recommended
Of course! ❤
This sing gives me chills in the first 15 seconds, guaranteed to improve EVERY mood.
😂
Yeah I really did love it for my whole life until someone shed light on it being about a young and underage girl that dude was wanting when she was a little girl, then after she got old enough he was able to let her know how he felt about her without having his head beat in by her daddy 😂😢
One of those songs that never fails to make me dance stupidly.
Still now?
Yes still now! And i hate to dance😂
I loved hearing this song on Perks of Being a Wallflower. I'd heard it way before I saw the movie, but it was nice to see how they incorporated it into the movie. This song just makes you want to get up & dance!!
Caused more stamping feet in the eighties than a plague of spiders!
😂😅😂😅😂
I really loved this as a child
@@RingoBongo-it9wxhere I am in July 2023- less than a month until I turn 49 and I had to play this again like so many times in the past! They don’t make them like they used to!

😂
I remember listening to this song as a kid... It was one of my favorites, and still is. I thank my parents every now and then for listening to good music.
Best song to run and dance around to as a kid
dam, for 32 years i been singing the wrong lyrics, learn something new everyday
Dad and I used to listen to this song every time we went out for road trips. Easily the best song from my childhood.
32yrs I've known this song, it was number 1 when I started my first job aged 16, August 1982, and for the first time in ALL that time, I've actually understood the lyrics, and their meaning............I could go to the foot of our stairs in amazement.
Same bit embarrassed tbh😂😂
I'm only 97 and I LOVE this!
RIP
RIP
RIP
Rest in peace.
I remember dancing on my brother's feet to this song as my mom sat by the window and wrote in her notebook. I've never been happier to find this song in my life.
That is so cute really(:
Not that hard it’s absolutely everywhere
I love that perks is bringing so many new people to the world of 'old music'
If this was played in a club I swear the place would fill instantly, more music like this needs to be made.
My mom was born in the 60s so I love all the same songs that she grew up listening to, this is one of my favorite songs
I went to a party with my friend's, Then this song came on, It changed my life.
dancing with my friend in a field when im an hour late home and the sun is setting to this song is the best feeling ever
I Can feel this...
Precious 😁

LIVING ROOM ROUTINE
Harrylarrylouist HAI Get out of the way!!
Perks
This is one of my all time favourite songs. It takes me right back to being 15 and watching Friday Night Videos with my friend Trisha.
No matter what mood i am in, if i listen to this song then all is well with the world.
Yep!
Damn right 😂😊
I dare anyone to say that they could decipher the lyrics.
He is talking about a child he has obviously been around that is "now grown" , pretty sure he was on some creep stuff. Dexy midnight runner was slang for speed back then. Weird 70s stuff😂
You are so right lol I couldn't believe it the first time I saw the lyrics at the same time the song was playing 😂 it was like getting a whole new song and I still couldn't sing all the words correctly 😂
@stacyhyde4858 oh dang 😮 well that puts that song into a completely different light for me it does anyways 😢
You tube search for come on Eileen lyrics. Listening to it now
You tube search come on Eileen lyrics
I knew about this song way before The Perks Of Being A Wallflower (amazing movie, by the way). This song has been a favorite of mine for a long time xD
Living room routine anyone? xD (I had to)
LIVING ROOM ROUTINE!!
yessss
JK I always hear this on our radio. F-ing classic.
I have loved this song since I was a child and this is one of my favourite songs.
The moment you stop and realize that this song is all about a guy trying to convince a girl to have sex with him.
How is that weird at all? There are a lot of songs about that...
No I meant that I just stopped and realized it at nineteen years old, I've heard this song at least fifty times and it just clicked for me... I'm so ashamed!
Michael Tupper If this surprises you, you should take a closer look at the lyrics of Only The Good Die Young.
I used to sing this song in the car when I was under 10 and only now do I realise what the lyrics mean at about 14 . . . . .
*Sings along anyway*
" *Come On Eileen*
*Come On Eileen*
*Poor old Johnny Ray*
*Sounded sad upon the radio*
*But he moved a million hearts in mono*
*Our mothers cried*
*Sang along*
*Who'd blame them*
*You've grown, so grown*
*Now I must say more than ever*
*Come On Eileen*
Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye*
*And we can sing just like our fathers*
*Come on Eileen*
*Oh, I swear what he means (what he means)*
*At this moment you mean everything*
*You in that dress*
*My thoughts I confess*
*Verge on dirty*
*Oh, come on Eileen*
*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, never*
*No, not us no, never*
*We are far too young and clever remember*
*Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye*
*And you'll hum this tune forever*
*Come on Eileen*
*Oh, I swear what he means*
*Aah, come on let's*
*Take off everything*
*That pretty red dress*
*Eileen tell him yes*
*Aah, come on let's*
*Aah, come on Eileen*
*That pretty red dress*
*Eileen tell him yes*
*Aah, come on let's*
*Aah, come on Eileen*
*Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye*
*Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye*
*Now you're full grown*
*Now you have shown*
*Oh, Eileen*
*Say, come on Eileen*
*These things they are real and I know*
*How you feel*
*Now I must say more than ever*
*Things round here have changed*
*I say, too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye-aye*
*Come on Eileen*
*Oh, I swear what he means*
*At this moment, you mean everything*
*You in that dress, my thoughts I confess*
*Verge on dirty*
*Aah, come on Eileen*
*Aah, come on Eileen*
*Oh, I swear what he means*
*At this moment, you mean everything*
*You in that dress, my thoughts I confess*
*Well, they're dirty*
*Come on Eileen*
*Come on Eileen...* "
Michael Tupper A childhood friend, at that.
Nope- I've been obsessed with this song for a long time and when it came on in Wallflower I was very happy indeed.
You're not alone friend!
I can't believe people still sing this to me when I meet them for the first time...
...it's a good dose of nostalgia, though
Come on I'm Dean, and my hands are so clean, at this moment, I am stapling!
EIIEEN
Sam Fraser NBA*
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH... so catchy!
British national anthem right there. Moving our families since before you were born.
The songs from the 80s are better than todays! And I’ve heard this song on the movie “The Perks Of Being Of Wallflower”.
''like a rock solo thing'' -__- well, professionalism went out the window...
+Leon Reaper i honestly lol'd at that part.
Lol me too
Leon Reaper that was funny though
Lol: Like a rock solo thing.
Love this song!
ive seen you somewhere else before no?
I heard it in perks of being a wallflower and ever since then it sparks true joy
this is 1 of the the best songs of all time its a party classic!!!
Ohmigod this song is so amazing I've been listening to it for like a hour straight..... :)
even with the lyrics I am having a hard time hahahaha But never realized how good the lyrics are.
The Perks Of Being A Wallflower made me come here!! =D LOVE that film!!
This is secretly one of my favorite songs.
"Like a rock solo thing" OMG IM CRYING
My dad thinks its weird whenever i blast this on the radio :P
Heard this song on the radio, then I instantly loved it.
I loved this song before I even knew the words! Or was old enough to appreciate them. 😉
" LIVING ROOM ROUTINE!"
I love this song, it's so catchy and I've caught myself humming or singing parts of it for the past few days at random moments. XD
I forgot this song existed! Nostalgia!
Scandalous song... Dexys Midnight Runners are fantastic
Reminds me of sitting in the dark corner of the under 18s disco sneering at the trendies. hated it then... but love it now, good old nostalgia.
I'll hum this tune forever!
when i was like 6 years old my mom used to have this CD and I loved this song, so happy I found it again
Yeah i'm 15 and i totally agree, it boggles the mind to think how much good music has died.
I heard this song when I was 5 and I had this pacman/arcade game for ps2 it was the main menu music.
Same XD
Camryn T ;3
[like a rock solo thing]
This is definitely one of my favorite songs.
Woah! Did not know or understand these lyrics back then!😂😂😂
Real music right here
A complete work of art! A very under rated song! #Substantial
Not underrated in the slightest. It's recognised as one of the best the 80s had to offer.
every time i hear this song i feel like dancing
At least now I can sing along to this song now I’ve got the lyrics to it (this video) so thank you for uploading this video
Believe it or not, I got in a car accident and this song was still playing,. I HAD to find it after that day
kappelmeister123 Yeah, it was about a year ago. I did have a broken foot though :/
Ty Bailey I was actually driving to this song today. No accident. But I had to look it up.
I think the lyrics at the start is but the billion hearts didn't want to know.
My two favorite things from Ireland are this song and Aiden Turner!!
It took me 5 minutes to learn this song the ladies involved are beautiful so learned it asap
Middle School Social studies teacher from 2006 brought me here.
is this song in the perks of being a wallflower?
40 yrs later and i get the lyrics
Thumbs up if you're listening to this song because it just makes you happy like me!
always wandered what he was saying lol
exactly, I thought at one point he says "Ford's are the best" but I knew that couldn't be it
Yeah at 1:18, even when you see the lyrics on the screen, it definitely sounds like "Fords are the best". Brought to you by Ford. xD
"like a rock solo thing"
nothing but good taste in music brought me here :)
OMG, I felt like I was alone.....this is one of my all time favorite songs!! I blare it down the street and don't care. Thanks I came to your page after seeing you liked my 80's video:)
This song should be on the next Guardians of the Galaxy's Awesome mix 2
OMG I AGREE 100%
Same
my mum sings this when shes drunk
I never could make out all the lyrics. Thank you.
Thanks for uploading. I really love this song!!!
Good music to play while walking around on a sunny day----or even on miserable rainy one. If this doesn't pick up one's spirits your doomed.
If you listen to this song it's like about convincing a girl to take her clothes off and have sex err
Alice Betambeau... Is it bad I like it even more now I realised that
first seen them june 25th 1980 and they were a brilliant band live.
Stepmother: I hope they’re ok
Dad: Yea I just hope they’re not fighting
*Stepsister and I jamming in the car* : 1:07
i always thought it was 'come on riley' lol....
***** Come on Eireen is the Korean version of the song.
Brittannia Moon I'm grad someone finarry lepried.

+Jon Pacheco nope not at all
'Like a rock solo thing' xD You rule. Thanks for posting. As a yank, the lyrics were always hard to catch.
That beginning never leaves a doubt which song has just begun playing!
