Come On Eileen must have been an interesting listen on 15th July 1982. I can't stand it today due to hearing it too many times.

Another barechested drummer on TOTP with Dexy's, but his trousers seem so high up that he'd make Cowell envious. I hated Come On Eileen in 1982 and I hate it just as much now in 2016.
At the time I LOVED this record by Dexy's. Now... it's been far too overplayed and heard too many times. But I can't forget how much I thought it was great at the time.

Still think Geno is the better song
Ahhh. Structural damage to many a dancefloor to this one in student nightclubs for years.
As everyone copies Kevin Rowland's stomping

This was the first time I ever heard 'Come On Eileen', when I was 12. At the time, it sounded really 70s-ish.
Which is pretty cool these days.

Come On Eileen still sounds fresh to me - I must avoid all the places where everyone else is overexposed to it!

I was really into Japan and Duran Duran around this time, and my dream was that would make a record together!

They do another studio performance, but I think it's on 22nd or 29th July.
Leo is one of those chaps who looks so affable on the outside but is infact full of attitude on the inside.
Very poor song too, some kind of mid 70's reject soundalike to me.

The only human to embarrass themselves more on Big Brother than George Galloway - Leo Sayer!!! A horrible little man.

Cheers, hopefully my recorder will work this time.
There are not any good rips out there.
