[BeckyPoC]

I'm amazed Dropkick Murphys haven't covered this one.

[chrisben3]

This song is the reason Dexy's Midnight Runners are *NOT* a one hit wonder in the United States. It did actually chart in the US.

[TangMan88]

@chrisben3 dont hate faggot

[JulieQ150]

Fab song - great to work-out to at the gym for the middle-age spread.....but how did they get talked into the daggy fairground thing - they are much too cool!

[SuperPais]

I had forgot how great this album is

[dexyshotspur]

It was one of the greatest changes ever made by a band......brass/ tough look....to Fiddles/ celtic soul!......Not so great when kevin showed his feminine side!

[dexyshotspur]

named myself after them!

[dexydonovanroger]

@dexyshotspur ........me too............

[MrTUCTUC1]

Interesting to see that, although this is the single before Come On Eileen and is from the same album with the fiddle section added to the band at this stage they hadn't come up with the iconic dress sense they'd use in later months.

[MY50GT]

Is it just me? Or is there nothing more satisfying than cranking the subwoofers up and playing this song while the douchebag next to you is playing rap?

[sixfingersftw]

@MY50GT .... *goes and buys some subwoofers*

[tigergambit]

You have to say that EMI totally f@*ked up regarding the lack of promotion and support they gave Dexys. One of very very few bands whos music still sounds as cutting edge now, nearly 30 years later.

[busnei]

such an underrated band

[merlijnandor]

awesome!!

[arfer]

More humans should be like Kevin Rowland.

[pattNY]

Heard from Burberry ad. This song has the same age as mine! Love it.

[SteveResin]

People just can't write songs like this anymore. Genius.

[SuperBetty213]

Go to Sligo for the Oingo Boingo, definitely a Celtic Soul when I hear this. Am I mistaken or did the Cure use some of the elements of this song for Love Cats? Could just be nostalgia for a different place in time and all the sounds I used to hear.

[MaxxAue]

great band ,, my father owns couple LP... Czech Rep.

[BOYBLUE444]

LOVE IT!!

[holaabonjour]

[tunnockteacake]

I'm attempting to increase this song's view count, always come back to it. What a great tune, easily their most underrated track.

Great song, no doubt about it...

[ehead2222]

best album ever made !!!!!

[chewybunz]

First heard this on Connecticut station WDJF on a evening program which played the entire TOO-RYE-AY album.

Early '83, I believe.

[Sharkwell]

Your channels are true treasure chests! Thank you for collecting an sharing: Whatever I've stumbled across so far made me smile and go very nostalgic :o)

[GabrielClaude]

0:35-0:38 terrible lip syncing

[dexyshotspur]

one of the greatest songs of all time...so far!

jonnie edwards on bass went into status Quo!!

the song got to No 20 when re-released in 1983....a travesty..had to be top 10 at least...

[dzucco1]

Did the bloke playing the bass guitar go on to play in status quo ?

[superretrochick1]

Fantastic song.  Miles better than Come on Eileen

[PatMerrick1]

Fantastic song.

Remember all the guys in the hairdressers with their perm curlers in?

[Fionalah]

Was this really 26 years ago??

Wow, time flies...

Great song anyway.

[DeeDonner]

WOW! brings back memories from Nagoya, Japan 1984...and a woman named Machiko Yamada..

[Telmalex]

2005....wow so long ago....

[schraderfan]

I remember watching this on TV when I was still young... in reruns in 2005.
