"Come on Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners


I always joked that my idea of hell would be stuck in a fabric store with this song on the PA for all eternity.

One of the biggest one hit wonders of the 70's that most of us still hear at every wedding we go to... Play that Funky Music, White Boy!

Rolling Stones ranked them as the biggest one hit wonders of all time lol. They did have a lot of hits in Norway tho but you're usually measured on your success in America.

You're dumb. Look lead singer of A-ha...I'm sorry man. You band was a one hit wonder. I guess I could disregard all the list of one hit wonders that has A-ha on there and go with that one guy on that anonymous message board.

you got called out for listing a band with 2 top 20 hits in the US and a grammy winning album.

you doubled down on stupidity by referencing a rolling stone story claiming they were a one-hit wonder.

keep on keeping on.

Liked "Come On Eileen," knocked Michael Jackson off the no. 1 single spot for one week in 83.
