Join us on this episode as we delve into the story behind the hit song "Come On Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners. The song's origins trace back to Kevin Rowland, the band's enigmatic leader, who had a tumultuous adolescence marred by violence and drug use. However, through the guitar, he found a new sense of direction and discovered a love for rock and roll. We'll explore how Rowland's personal struggles and musical influences helped shape the unique sound and energy of "Come On Eileen", a song that became a worldwide hit in 1982 and has remained a beloved classic ever since.
