After the music video was performed, another video was shown with hosts Garry Lyon (as Kevin Rowland), James Brayshaw (as Banjo player), Sam Newman (as Violin player) and Trevor Marmalade (as Accordion player) performing a copy of the original video as themselves.<BR/><BR/> * This song has incorrectly been rumored to be a reference to methamphetamine. However, the band's name, Dexys Midnight Runners, is a reference to the stimulant Dexedrine.<BR/><BR/> * The song features in the film Rainbow Warrior.<BR/><BR/> * The title of the song was mentioned in an episode of Will & Grace. Grace has bought a dog against Will's will, and when trying to convince him to keep the dog, she says "Come on, Eileen!”<BR/><BR/> * The song was used as the Space Shuttle Discovery crew wake-up call in August 2005, on STS-114 Flight Day 14, in honour of the flight commander, Eileen Collins. The ground control team selected the song to remind the crew "that it is time for your return back home to planet Earth" (a return which turned out to be delayed by a day due to weather).<BR/><BR/> * The phrase "Come On Eileen" is used as the refrain in the song "Me and my Black Metal Friends" by Atom And His Package.<BR/><BR/> * The song was used in the film Tommy Boy, during the scene with Chris Farley and David Spade singing in the car.<BR/><BR/> * The song's title was parodied in Clerks as a porno film titled "Cum On Eileen". There is also a real porn site with this title.<BR/><BR/> * The song was used briefly in the hit British cult sitcom Spaced, starring (among others) Simon Pegg and Jessica Stevenson.<BR/><BR/> * This song is one of the '80s tunes that can be heard in the arcade game compilation Namco Museum 50th Anniversary Arcade Collection, for the PS2, Xbox, GameCube and PC.<BR/><BR/> * In The Simpsons episode "Homer's Barbershop Quartet" Lisa remarks that Homer's barbershop quartet, the Be Sharps, beat Dexys Midnight Runners for a Grammy Award to which Homer replies, "Well, you haven't heard the last of them." This is an ironic reference to Dexys Midnight Runners' one hit wonder status in the US.<BR/><BR/> * The song is referenced in an episode of the television series American Dad.<BR/><BR/> * The song and video are featured in the the Singstar 80's karaoke video game.<BR/><BR/> * The song was used in an episode of the ABC television series Carpoolers.<BR/><BR/> * The song was used in a Kinder Bueno commercial.<BR/><BR/> * The song was played during the Jackass 24 hour take over on MTV<BR/><BR/> * Kevin Rowland was parodied at the end of an episode of "Big Train", created as a sort of Frankenstein's monster.<BR/><BR/> * The song was played during the intro to episode 6 of the popular British television series Spaced.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00466265732291777624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6366634260206583766.post-66393190936543656812008-03-28T07:47:00.000-07:002008-03-28T07:47:00.000-07:00Can I play the busboy?Can I play the busboy?j.l.b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06519847809336340855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6366634260206583766.post-24373961249845379572008-03-28T07:05:00.000-07:002008-03-28T07:05:00.000-07:00You know I've thought about it some more and I dig...You know I've thought about it some more and I dig the whole song thing and the two toned theme. What if, instead of holding up a stereo a la Say Anything, he puts together a big musical number to Come on Eileen, you know with a band, a stage and dancers? Then it could seem sort of over the top and fantastical in v.1 and sort of lame and pathetic in v.2.

I've been working at this almost a year. Maybe in the future I'll want to work out, but so far I'm just to the point where I don't mind it. I'm glad afterward, but want to? Not so much. <BR/>Maybe that will hapen in the future though? A girl can hope.<BR/><BR/>Nice job on the working out though! :)quartergoddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784500685461707266noreply@blogger.com
