Too-rye-ay, we're back again with Episode 2 of Season 2 of Rock 'n' Roll Rabbit Hole. In this episode, Butch and Kevin dig into a 1980s classic, "Come on Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners. We discuss the song's meaning, the band's background and the impact it made when it shot up the charts in 1982-83. Among the points covered:
- Beer of the Week: Falls City English Style Pale Ale (we also tasted a bit of Limestone Branch rye, a local barrel pick)
- Kevin Rowland was a difficult guy to deal with
- Dexys actually had a previous hit in the UK
- The band's first US single did nothing
- Once "Eileen" fell off the charts, the band would never crack the US Top 40 again.
- Is it the greatest one-hit wonder of all-time? Is there one?
