Never seen this or heard it before, a great version of Come On Eileen

 

[Ribble73]

Not a Fan -this lot go down as the worst Gig I’ve ever been to -and this was 1978 when they were just starting on the “Eileen” wave. This lot and the 2 support Bands were utter trash!!

Tosvig looks half decent for a change.

Come On Eileen was 1982. They were nowhere near that look or sound in 1978.
Geno was 1980.

 

[Newman Noggs]

Saw them at Keele University in 1980. I don't remember them particularly standing out like, say, UB40, but then, I was more into stuff like Jonathan Richman, John Otway and Wreckless Eric.

It was probably 1979-80 then

Love them.
Saw them a few weeks ago at the Bridgewater.

 

[N1985]

Got to be a contender for the worst popular song. Absolute wank

 

[Rory Bluelow]

Every time I see them in their fucking dungarees and with the little hats I piss myself laughing.

Of all the bands that have existed in the universe, this one is on the back end of the bell curve in terms of deserving its own thread.

Remember when you were the one moaning about how other genres of music were shit because you didn’t like them?

Well, the shoe is on the other foot in this thread.

You reap what you sow.

Though there's quite a list of contenders for @N1985's accolade!

Perhaps @BlueHammer85 can do the FA Cup for worst ever songs once the current competition has finished.

I’d like to nominate The Mavericks - Just want to dance the night away, DJ Otzi - Hey Baby and The Darkness - I believe in a thing called love.
