"Come On Eileen" is a song by English pop group Dexys Midnight Runners,
released in the UK on 25 June 1982[3] as a single off their album Too-Rye-Ay
. It was their second number 1 hit in the United Kingdom, following 1980's "
Geno". The song was written by Kevin Rowland, "Big" Jim Paterson, and Billy
Adams; it was produced by Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley.
"Come On Eileen" won Best British Single at the 1983 Brit Awards.

For one brief moment, Dexy's exploded into America's consciousness -- and
what a song to do it with! "Come on Eileen" combines ramalama rock & roll,
soul delivery, and Celtic/country flavor into a perfect musical fusion and
an irresistible U.K. and U.S. number one hit. Both the song and its video
were such hits that years later, ska/punk band Save Ferris made a minor
splash with its own version of the tune, while Garth Brooks appeared in a
Saturday Night Live skit dressed as the capering, bedraggled Rowland. The
rest of the album is nearly as successful, with quite a few numbers that
should have matched "Come on Eileen"'s fame. Given that song's obvious debt
to Van Morrison's similar fusions, it's no surprise that Dexy's tipped their
hat with a great cover of Morrison's "Jackie Wilson Said," another big
British single. Throughout the album, Rowland's distinct, unique voice takes
the fore, but the revamped Dexy's lineup proves it was the original version
's equal, if not better. Given that only trombonist Big Jimmy Patterson
remained, and even then only for two tracks, recruiting a new band able to
create the "Celtic soul" Rowland dreamed about turned out to be exactly the
right move. Excellently produced by Rowland and the legendary Clive Langer/
Alan Winstanley production team, Too-Rye-Ay sounds like an old soul revue
recorded on-stage, no doubt an intentional goal. Other highlights include
the opening jaunt "The Celtic Soul Brothers," which just about says it all
both in title and delivery; the slow swirl of "All in All," and the vicious
ballad "Liars A to E."
