Re: Inspired by #6 - the song that blew up

[(Anonymous)]

Come On Eileen is probably Dexys' best song, because it's basically a completely perfect pop song and you can't get too angry about that. I do love it.

But it's also not very representative of the rest of their work. It's a lot goofier and more joyful. And the song also plays quite differently when it's heard in the context of the album and the band more broadly - for one thing, in the context of the album, it's much more of a cathartic release, rather than just a silly pop song as it can appear in isolation. For another thing, being familiar with the band adds a lot of context and depth to understanding Kevin Rowland and his feelings about identity, belonging, angst and the power of music to transcend barriers.

hope you don't get mad but Come On Eileen is one of my least favorite songs of the 80's; the only thing I like about it is the fact that the title sounds like a porn.

I mean I still think you're wrong and it's brilliant, but I also recognize that it's also been hideously overplayed, which is especially harmful considering how catchy it is

And it does sound like a porno, yes
