Written By: E. Walker on 2/16/2001 at 12:40 p.m.

CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION? I LOVE "COME ON EILEEN" BY "DEXYS MIDNIGHT RUNNERS" AND I KNOW IT WAS RELEASED IN 1982 BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT AND HAD IT PLAYED @ MY 7TH BIRTHDAY PARTY, I STILL LOVE IT, BUT WHEN I WAS LISTENING TO "NAME THE YEAR" ON THE RADIO, THE SONG CAME ON AND I SAID 1982 BUT MY FRIEND RECKONS SHE HAD IT PLAYED AT HER WEDDING IN 1979/1980 AND IT WAS A REALLY BIG HIT THEN. I KNOW I'M RIGHT AND IT DID GET RELEASED IN 1982, BUT SHE MUST KNOW IF SHE HAD IT PLAYED AT HER WEDDING OR NOT, SO WAS IT A HIT BEFORE 1982 AS WELL? PLEASE PLEASE LET ME KNOW!! CHEERS EMMA.

It was off their album Too-Rye-Ay from 82. The song was on the charts in late 82 early 83.
