Known Pleasures Flexidisc - Come On Eileen
Update: 2024-01-22
Description
In our latest flexidisc we will exhume the body of Eileen, run a musical autopsy, and discuss the song that moved a million hearts in stereo in 1982.
Was Eileen a metaphor for casting off the social mores of sexual repression and escaping Thatcherite Britain’s humdrum existence?
Was Kevin Rowland plundering Celtic rhythms and instrumentation a way of coming to terms with his Irish heritage?
Or was it just a cracking good song?
Either way, we at Known Pleasures will hum this tune forever, and who’d blame us?
So, get your banjos out, tune those violins and dance a Celtic jig to the wonderful Dexys Midnight Runners classic: Come On Eileen.
