Given the obsessive songwriting that went into it, it’s impressive to hear how raw and desperate Rowland’s vocals sound throughout. You don’t have to know what he’s singing about to understand the song. The lyrics speak of repression and of a desire to escape a humdrum existence – perennial teen pop subjects that Rowland performs with a startling pent-up intensity. He swoops, yelps, yearns and rabble-rouses as if his life depends on it. Producers Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley harnessed this masterclass in melodrama and shaped it into an undeniable hit.The North Stand is for people keen to get a closer look at the players, follow every second of the action and maybe even sit with the famous Fijian fans in light blue. This is the perfect opportunity to wear a come on Eileen dress if you have never done so before. The classic song, written by Dexys’ lead singer Kevin Rowland, is a rousing anthem for this holiday. The lyrics portray the thin line between love and lust, as Eileen describes the feelings she had for Rowland when they were both just 13 years old.

Tournament 101The Blue Ox Babes’ demos combined the up-tempo soul beats of …Young Soul Rebels with Celtic strings. When Rowland heard them, he envisaged a new sound for Dexys. Violinist Helen Bevington was poached from The Blue Ox Babes, asked to adopt the more Irish-sounding stage name, Helen O’Hara, and tasked with recruiting more string players from her music school. Helped along by Rowland’s new band uniform – they dressed like a vagabond troupe, dirtied dungarees and all – “Come On Eileen” became an enormous hit, justifying the singer’s faith in the song. It was the biggest-selling single of 1982 in the UK, hit No. 1 in the US and Top 10s worldwide. As Rowland later told M: “Not bad for a song that nearly split up the band, sent me to the verge of mania, and then almost wasn’t released. I always knew it was a good one!” In less than 48 hours, the post has received a whopping 46.4k likes and 8.6k retweets, proving that everyone really loves Dexys Midnight Runners. Or, you know, costumes involving loads of faux cum. But after that first flush of success, Rowland’s dictatorial tendencies caused all of the group, bar trombone player “Big” Jim Paterson, to leave Dexys and form a new outfit, The Blue Ox Babes. Rowland recruited new members, started putting the players through their paces, and released a string of singles that underperformed commercially. Just listening for the 784,654th time....and it's just perfect in every way. Just incredible. The only reason it was remade was to scoop up a boatload of money from a more modern and accepting audience. But it is a completely different song than the other one that sounds slapped together in a few takes without a thought for the meaning.

All 4 stands of the Hong Kong Stadium offer great views of the action but have different selling points. Here’s what you need to know. The East Stand, especially right at the top, is ideal for some semblance of peace and quiet – especially popular on Sunday mornings if you’re nursing a heavy head. So, not a song about a poor girl, but a song of hope and how you can rise up no matter how far down you started. Come on Eileen”, the band’s debut single, received a lot of airplay. This was the first single by the band to chart in the US. However, the band’s next single, “The Celtic Soul Brothers,” fell to number 86. The song’s success can be traced to its video airplay on MTV, where it has remained the most popular clip of the era. The band’s second album Searching for the Young Soul Rebels contained the #1 UK hit, “Geno”. The album received lots of acclaim in England.Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer Poor old Johnny Ray sounded sad upon the radio The simple, yet effective costume has been done to death at this point, involving nothing more than a regular shirt, a “Hello My Name Is Eileen” name tag and some sort of cum-looking substance, likely glue. I wish I could be done sharing hilarious Halloween costumes with you, but some of them are just too good. I know it’s already November 2 and I should move on with my life, but I simply cannot resist a Come On Eileen costume. The South Stand is notorious for its fun, games and debauchery. It’s the iconic, wild side that may spring to mind when you think “HK7s” but actually only makes up a quarter of the stands.
