"Come On Eileen" is a song by the English group #DexysMidnightRunners (credited to Dexys Midnight Runners and the Emerald Express), released in the United Kingdom in June 1982 as a single from their second studio album #TooRyeAy. It reached number one in the United States.
📀 22 July 1982 — #DexysMidnightRunners release Too-Rye-Ay, featuring the global smash #ComeOnEileen.
A one-hit wonder in the U.S., maybe — but not in the UK. #Geno hit #1 before Eileen ever danced in denim.

A recent find - a booklet of violin & brass manuscripts from 1982 for #TooRyeAy & live shows. Scored by Jim, I think. Violin bowings etc by me #DexysMidnightRunners
