Some great music from the 80s, no.36

Dexy's Midnight Runners. Come on Eileen

This classic from the second iteration of the ever changing style of Kevin Rowland's band is a mash up of Irish folk songs & post punk sensibility. With its well known sing-along chorus & driving violin led arrangement, it sounds like nothing else & is a testament to Rowland's (offer under-estimated) musical genius. Of course, he was soon to move on again leaving this Dexy's classic in his wake.
