[altimateworkout]

KEVIN ROLLAND HAS AWSUME VOICE.

[tina6581]

I was a kid in the 80s and what I remember was a mountain of crap songs. With one or two diamonds like this one.  The guy that fronted them was a self centred tit. But, could sing like no other. It was of its time and to try draw comparisons with now isnt fare.

[neoncolouredconverse]

love this song mi friend showed it to me we both love the 80"s but yeah bubbly song

[jacobtb1]

holy shit!

[conezone80]

well that was amazing

[baserunner4]

I love this song and i dedicate it to my good friend named, Eileen of course.

[serioushamburger]

omg. I havve listened to this song all day and have it stuck in my head for the past week. am i the only 14 year old on here who really appreciates this stuff this is good shit! The 80's and hte 60's worked out the best music i think...as far as I can tell..

[12pokechamp]

@serioushamburger i'm only 12 and i'm in love with any music from the 50's to the 90's!

my favourites are The Beatles, The Police,The Who, Don Mclean, and Buddy Holly

[2009CareHealth]

classic production of the human potential. great song

[merovigno]

Es una de las mejores canciones que he escuchado en mi vida, the best

[The19727374]

jm727374-Quicksilver This song is one of the best in the 20th Century! I mean it,it's that good.

[MoreTimeThanYouThink]

FAR OUT

[tiffpop159753]

Ishoes

[crazzzyaskmofos]

i love this song.every time i hear it, i think of that movie tommy boy.lol(:

[TheChrisnew]

heck yeah, and Chris Farley practically having a seizure to it haha

[tabletopphoto]

I love the song, but is it because I don't have an Irish accent that he sounds off key?

[joke881]

piosenka jest just zajebista:p

[YamatoHenge]

This song fucking ROCKS you younger PUNKS need to learn what good music is the 80's were the absolute best !!!!!

Cant be topped!!

[therealmuffinman922]

@YamatoHenge absolutely. anything post 20th is terrible

[12pokechamp]

@therealmuffinman922 i feel like going on a rampage and killing Lady Gaga, Jedward, Girls Aloud,JLS, Alexandra Burke, etc.

ugh, i HATE uttering those evil names.

they killed the soul of great music, and now we're left with the roadkill:

a shoddy pile of crap, surrounded by deadbeats.

and this is coming from a 12-year-old

[bigpimpin110011]

@12pokechamp i see a lot of myself in you. your going to go on to do great things if you keep this attitude up

[12pokechamp]

@bigpimpin110011 =) thank you kindly 

[ScalinoCorleone]

@therealmuffinman922 Oh boy...! you're seriously mistaken or being ignorant of our - nowadays- legendary times for rock'n'roll, dude! Look up for bands like 'The Steepwater Band', 'Medusa Stone', 'Dirty Americans', 'The Living End', "Wolfmother" or "Juliette & the Licks" ultimate album ("4 on the floor") or for a more bluesy-joplinesque thang, go for "Beth Hart"'s "Live at Paradiso", just to cite a few...

We're hearing - today - legends of the future... We're livin' in the 3rd Age of Rock!

[iCanadian14]

@YamatoHenge fuck u im 18 i love this shit.

[zachattack56]

he's got soul

[quarqill]

I remembered when they were the opening act for David Bowie and in a number of cities the fans hated them and were booed off the stage and Bowie fired them from being his opening act.This was mentioned on MTV News.

[WrestlingHeretic]

A great band at the height of their powers performing (not miming) their best known song. What's not to love about this video?

[wipenoutx]

finally i found the original. The fucking cover to this song sucks ass.

[quarqill]

are there any other good songs by this group and is this their only hit song?

[WrestlingHeretic]

"Geno" was a No. 1 song in the U.K.

[almfacebooker]

jajaja this song, makes me smile :D

[tenpantoja]

Thanks for posting it. This song brings me great memories. At that time my English was too poor to understand the lyrics, but I liked it anyway lol.

[thylacine1930]

Don't feel too bad. No-one, and I mean absolutely no-one, understood the lyrics! Native English speaker or not! That's half the beauty of it!

[neildiamond1000]

whats he saying

[chris1966sh]

This song takes me back to the waltza ride at the Spanish City,(Spanna) Whitley Bay sadly to be no more.. Supermarket now. 80"s rule

[Kevin90028]

Thanks.  Will you be posting any of Dexy's other hit song?

[HinataChick38]

Kevin90028, you and I both know that Dexy's never did another hit song after 'Come On, Eileen.'

[SeanscouchofSpud]

hey! that song is awesome and you know it, basicly everyone loves it, so don't question it.

[Kevin90028]

So rare to see a rock group using violins. Maybe that's why they failed.

[phonesRawesome]

the best song of the 80's!!!

[brutaljona]

the onley good song in the 80's

[chillmasterkessel]

the name of my child is given cuz of this song.

[druss01]

This song really rocks! The 80's were a wild ride. I wish I could do it again...at least most of it!

[bowcheck]

terrific song. too bad i wasn't around in the 80s :(

[gfkd11]

Just: I love it!!

[nikobellicdani]

thr guy's good, 'cause the song is very long, and hard to memorise, so he was great! He always is!! Dexy's Midnight Runners are one the best bands in the 80's

[CaptainKatieClark]

...This reminds me of being a wee little girl. :).

Good times.

[jtinva]

I always think they say "cum on eileen -- cum on her dress". haha
