Subject: What Music Video is this from the 70s or 80s?
Hello, I cannot seem to remember the name of this song I like from the late 70s or 80s, I think it might be the 80s however. The video has a bunch of guys on a street corner dancing around in kilts singing a pretty 80s sounding pop song. I want to say it was The Clash, but when I try to look up their discography I do not recognize the name. Can anyone tell me the song I am thinking of?
Thanks a lot.

I'm pretty sure that was "Come on Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners from 1983.

I remember them actually wearing denim "overalls" in the video, but it's still worth the shot to check it out. Memories can get a little fuzzy sometimes. :)

Your memory is not fuzzy, Hairspray, as I also remember them wearing denim overalls. :)

Possibly Madness? "House Of Fun", "One Step Beyond"?
I know there a scene with the band dancing near a building.

You guys are really good: ) It was Come on Eileen, and they were wearing overalls not kilts. I could have never figured that out, thanks a lot!

And that video was filmed not a million miles away from my childhood stomping ground...(Brook Drive, which is on the back end of London's Imperial War Museum, should you wish to look it up...!)
And if looks like a horrible dump in the video, that's because it was...! (See, CF? That's what South London really used to look like...!)

re kilts. You may be getting confused with Spandau Ballet who were very big on kilts in the early days (around the time of To Cut A Long Story Short). I believe Tenpole Tudor also branched out into kilts at one time...
