Dexys Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen (No. 73, 17th July 1982) 

Still watching this band in 2024

One of most beautiful things I ever seen and hear

This song and band brings back many happy memories for me, happy ones.

C'est ça qu'on aime, des chansons qui font rêver, qui réjouisse. Celle-là en fait parti. Là, on voit bien que cela peut se concevoir dans une salle à manger avec des moyens simples.

This is a great live version. Love that Phil Collins played drums with them on this recording.

This is an excellent version of this song. I never heard it before.

Come on Eileen Come on Eileen Poor old Johnny Ray Sounded sad upon the radio He moved a million hearts in mono Our mothers used To sing along, who'd blame them You're grown (a grown up), So grown (so grown up), now I must say more than ever (Come on Eileen) Toora loora toora loo rye aye And we can sing just like our fathers Come on Eileen, oh I swear (well he means) At this moment, you mean everything You in that dress, oh my thoughts I confess Verge on dirty Ah come on Eileen Come on Eileen These people round here Wear beaten down eyes Sunk in smoke dried faces Resigned to what their fate is But not us (no never), no not us (no never) We are far too young and clever Remember Toora loora toora loo rye aye Eileen I'll hum this tune forever Eileen I'll hum this tune forever Come on Eileen oh I swear (well he means) Ah come on, let's take off everything That pretty red dress, oh Eileen tell him yes Ah come on let's, Ah come on Eileen Come on Eileen oh I swear (well he means) At this moment you mean everything Come on Eileen too-loo rye-aye Come on Eileen too-loo rye-aye Toora toora-too-loora Oh, Eileen Oh, Eileen We are far too young and clever And things wont ever change I say toora loora toora loo rye aye Come on Eileen, oh I swear (well he means) At this moment, you mean everything to me You mean everything

He puts his heart and soul in this love ❤️ it and him

La meilleure version live que j'ai entendu !

Greatest hit in the history of the UK (with "Blue Boy" from Orange Juice!)

Masterpiece!!

Absolute Banger 🔥

the song will live forever 😂

2023 this song will never get old

the best song ever written !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great sound.

Extraordinaria Performance!

Love ❤️ his voice

Is that a very young Sandy Toksvig?

Did Eileen ever arrive?

amo la musica es maraviioso soy baterista quiero llegar a ese nivel wuao que bella voz la de este cantante pero ya no es la misma voz de cuando empezo.

me singing this

Dexy M R Come Eileen 82

Does anyone know the name of this show the band was on while they played live?

Where’s the brass coming from? I think this is perhaps faux-live, but lots of fun though…

Que clase o tipo de pronunciacion habla la rubia ?

Should have seen them live,Jesus what a drama queen was Kevin Roland…. Come on Pauline xxx and this was after Geno ???

Hahaha a kids show?.and the songs about lovemaking oh dear the 80s

No matter how sad or low I feel, this song always puts a big smile on my face ❤

This song reminds me of my friend colin who passed away a year ago, I'll never forget you my brother

Is that Sandi Toksvig, later host of QI?

This tune never got old to me. Knocked Michael Jackson's Billy Jean off the charts for a couple months.

No matter how lousy a day I'm having, hearing Come On Eileen can make me happy.

This was on a kids show??? Lyrics were a bit sexy, dontcha think?

this song was on permanent rotation for all weddings in the 80s and 90s/

Is that a very young Sandy Toksvig trying to give the band advice?

Ahhh the Fabulous 80s when music was diverse original and fun. Loved it No better decade. This song was the epitome of that. Originality in the respect of having a billboard No 1 hit featuring banjo and violins and still forty years later being enjoyed at bars and weddings. Bravo Dexys well done

our family moved into a house when this was in the charts - my mum and dad couldn't afford carpets so when this came on the radio we all jumped up and down on the bare floor boards, dancing and stomping, making the biggest racket. We all laughed so much it actually hurt in your belly. It still makes me happy, it makes me slightly sad too - I miss them so much but I am forever grateful we had those days, no carpet, more noise and more fun. Thank you Dexy's for bringing us joy and laughter

This is probably one of the best live version of the song I know the other one was horrendous not sure if in that situation his voice kind of gave out but

He escuchado esta canción 2789 veces y es que no me canso...casi siento que estuve allí mismo viéndolos en vivo, que cosa adictiva!

Ohh wow. I've watched QI for years and as soon as I heard that voice, I didn't even have to look at the screen to know it was her haha. Sandy, what a legend she is.

I've never seen such a YOUNG Sandi Toksvig !!!

Kevin hamming his best. Bloke is a genius. This has to be the best version of the dirtiest song in the world.

Dexy every time he sings this song he puts his heart into it , great song

Incredible musicians especially the singer and drummer

que linda cancion a pesar que del año 82 no me canso de escuchar este tema muyyyyyyyyyyy lindo y recordar a mi querido hermano cuando eran jovencito y le gustaba esta cancion ahora esta en el cielo😪

3:29 i like how she got startled there lol

I’m Eileen,! Yes being a teenager this tormented us😂 but now I bloody love it 🥰

One of the great classics of the 80s...performed live!

Literal yo bailando como la mujer de falda amarilla jajaja. Que hermosa canción 🤩

Saudade dos anos 80. Uma época em que parece que vivíamos em uma outra dimensão. Época maravilhosa, amizades verdadeiras, música de verdade, melodias profundas, amor ao próximo. Tudo isso se foi, mas não o amor que sinto por essa época. Feliz de quem viveu essa época. Abraços aqui do Brasil.

the best live version of this song

March 2024 and this song still ROCKS!!

Holy F. I could tell that was Sandi by her voice, but further by her hand movements while she talked!

We are much too young and clever (or so it seemed) brilliant lyrics.

God I love this song 😭💜

One of my favorite songs

This must be a very big coincidence, I was looking for this song from a top 80s and came across this show is where Neil Buchanan from my childhood show Art Attack was starring on it.

Jajajajajajaja..Min 3:29....la presentadora se asusta ante el grito de la canción y luego salta al vértigo de la misma.. jajajaja

at 3.29 Mad Kev gives the diminutive hostess/producer a fright! watch her shoulders closely :P

I love this song and Im a Black Man. Does this mean I have to forfeit my N.A.A.C.P membership?

during the first 30 seconds or so i was convinced this was a playback effort, mimicking against pre-recorded original song. Once the differences start kicking in..WOW! This was actually how good and tight they played. Real musicians

Is that sandi tocksvig

当時中学生だった。そう、これが音楽、、どうやったらこんなすごい曲が作れるのかいまだにわからない。。曲に命を吹き込む天才だ。

Mis respetos... Que grupo... La disciplina lleva muy lejos a las personas... Ellos dieron ejemplo... Felicidades

I can see that Billy likes the way Sandi looks. He can’t stop looking at her while slightly smiling

I will always remember this song blasting out my mum and dad's stereogram. Every disco I went to had that song playing , I done a few disco's as well. I played this folk love it!

Can't believe that annoying Toksvig hasn't changed!

Bloody awful woman.

my god, here have the past 40 years gone.....??

3.30 - lady in yellow and red gets a shock haha

Just added this to my playlist. My 3rd version of come on Eileen . Equals burning bridges from Kelly's heroes .

Campiranos

Un tema que siempre que lo escucho me saca una gran sonrisa, es genial

the banjo player needs to be in the front

Back when there was no autotune. Awesome

This video was awesome and would've been better if that muppet in the yellow and red wasn't there

Que generó es? Pop , rock , synthpop ,grunge, punk ,new wave , junglepop , ???????????????????????

Definitely Jeremy Clarkson’s mom lmao..

Amazing live version

3:28 poor gal with headphones on nearly scared herself when he started signing :D then danced like nothing happened hahahhaha

Esse é um programa? Ou existem dois clipes originais de uma mesma música?

I knew a girl called Irene who still hates this song! It’s not even her name… she is called Irene. Mind you… when I married my second wife called Karen, the registrar twice called her Carol and corrected herself. You guessed it, my first wife is called Carol.

"This it's for fun" nice way to stop a trouble 🤣🤣

This song from the UK has a strange Appalachia sound to it. It sounds a bit country.

Do what to Eileen..?

Can’t quite figure out what a young Sandi Toksvig was doing there? Never noticed her being there before! Still, she seemed to be having fun!

I love this song.👌 Live performance

I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM ALL OVER AGAIN!YOU STILL GIVE ME GOOSE BUMPS!❤️❤️❤️

for you dave brook miss you loads

I wonder if the TV presenters - standing there in the presence of Dexys playing live - knew at the time what a legendary part of musical culture they were in the midst of witnessing.

3:28 Is the woman with red and yellow frightened by the scream? 🤣

What was the contribution of the woman in the yellow skirt?

Come on, Eileen Come on, Eileen Poor old Johnnie Ray Sounded sad upon the radio… Come On Eileen" is a song by the English group Dexys Midnight Runners (credited to Dexys Midnight Runners and the Emerald Express), released in the United Kingdom in June 1982[3] as a single from their second studio album Too-Rye-Ay. It reached number one in the United States and was their second number one hit in the UK, following 1980's "Geno". 🎸🎷🥁🎶❤️

My favorite was their debut on Saturday Night Live. Can’t find it anywhere. This will have to do.

Hermoso. Tema. Me. Encanta. Bien. Exelente. Y. Más😎👌🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

Brilliant band. Great hits.

"i think if we could incorporate that note into the song" 🤣😆🤣

QI's Sandi Toksvig!

If I am driving for any length of time, I will eventually hear this song on the radio. Never get tired of it. I hope they had a good contract and get royalties regularly.
