      True, true - I always wondered how they arrived at the whole "Irish hillbilly" premise for the video. And overlaid on council houses in a decaying industrial town. It's strange, but it works. Still love this song, even though it's been played to death since it was a hit.

      Yes. You will find a similar folky-Celtic sound in the maritime provinces of Canada where our roots were Scots-Irish. Appalachian peoples were also of Scots-Irish heritage. The banjo was based on an African instrument and bluegrass was a fusion of musical cultures. I love the mixing of cultures on our continent and what it produced.

    Dexys started as a post punk/soul band (their first album was a masterpiece) and their second album was this style. Kevin Rowland (main man and singer) completely changed musical direction but kept some horns. The fiddles and banjo were from Irish music (his parents were Irish and he lived in Ireland for a few years as a child).
    The “too ra loo ra” bit is from Irish folk music where you’d occasionally have sections that were made up of words that didn’t mean anything. Like scat music.

    I am loving watching your reactions to the songs I love and grew up with. You say that you are hearing these for the first time, yet your reactions tell me you get what we did the first time we heard them! It's like watching mates listening to the same songs as ourselves for the first time over again.
    Your reactions are so refreshing and insightful, you both get them, but from a different place many times, you're so happy, that it's infectious, that's what I'm enjoying about watching your reactions so much!
    Please react to another Australian group (not saying "Dexy's Midnight Runners" are Aussie, but meaning that I've noticed your reactions to another Australian band named "AC-DC") named "Icehouse", they started off as "The Flowers" and their first album was called "Icehouse", but, as there was already an American band/group called the "Flowers", and because they wanted to expand over there, or to save confusion, our "The Flowers" changed their name to the title of their first LP.
    IceHouse aren't as big a name as the other bands you've been listening to, but I believe you'll enjoy their unique sound just the same. "Great Southern Land" has a big sound and gives a great vibe as to how we feel about our country Australia, "We Can Get Together" has a fun dancey feel to it.
    Please give our "IceHouse" a listen, you won't regret it!
    Also check out "Mental As Anything's" "Cats and Dogs" album, there are so many groups here, Hunters And Collectors, the list goes on!
    Carlos.

    While I don't really understand the "farm" vibe that Lex takes from this song, I always enjoy her take on these songs, it's always entertaining. And I'm often amazed at how she can (often) zero in on the true essence of a song upon a first listen.
    In this case, Brad really nails it with the image of a bar and everyone singing along. Of course, the bar would need to be filled with old farts like yours truly, who remember this from a youth in the 80's.... :-)

    Lex doesn't know how close she is given the getups they wear in the video.
    A bit more chill but same vibe, 'Life in a Northern Town' or 'The Love Parade' by Dream Academy. So much good music.

    Love the review. Must be the banjo and the British slang giving the country vibe. This came out in ‘82 I think and it was so different than the rest. MTV explored the song and it was 15 different instruments playing in the song (including a cowbell? LOL). Play it at a wedding and all the little kids get crazy with the dancing. In the 80s It seems every time the music started sounding the same another British band would come and shake things up. Billy Idol, Duran Duran, U2, Howard Jones, the Cure….great times.

    Brad completely gets caught up in the vibe and feels the need to dance. Lex subliminally latches on to the banjo line and feels "farm'!. Both are completely right this time!! Such a classic, and (from the typing of this comment) we're not even to the drop. "Come on" man!

    As a metalhead I'm not ashamed to admit I really love a lot of those wacky New Wave songs from the '80s. I like to collect the compilations, they're like a guilty pleasure for me. Depending on the comp. you'll either get the single radio edits or the longer 12" club versions...both types are cool. It's a nice change of pace and just about the most fun music there is IMHO.
