Pernicious earworm (you've been warned - click at your own risk)

"Come On Eileen." Don't know how it got there, but it won't leave, and I fucking want it OUT.

1. I Love that song

Not like-LOVE...wasn't Dexie's Midnight Runners a one hit wonder with this song?

[asthmaticeog]

3. Yep. Total one hit wonder.

I'm partial to their earlier stuff, but I don't dislike "Eileen" - it's just that once it gets in there, it completely takes over all synaptic functioning for like HOURS.

2. Ah, one hit wonder Dexy's Midnight Runners....

I'm sorry for your suffering. Really.

But as earworms go, that's not too bad. Try having the theme from "I Dream of Jeannie" in your head for several hours. :grr:

5. Or the "Fat Albert" lead in...

Na-na-na gonna have a good time Hey Hey Hey....

[Richardo]

8. Hugo Montenegro!

How do I know that?

4. Paul Hanley's drumming style was inspired by Dexy's first album

Whatever that means. Maybe he drummed in overalls.

:shrug:

6. Fabulous song!

I'd be happy to have it in my head.

[Dave Reynolds]

7. Better that than

"Safety Dance".

[Bullwinkle925]

9. Thank God I don't know that one so I'm saved!

But of course I'm going to click onto it outta curiosity.

10. There are worse things

My roommate had "All My Exes Live In Texas" stuck in her head. After four years of it she was contemplating suicide. Although she didn't call it suicide, she called it a mercy killing.
