I think the following song may very well be my favourite song ever. I love it so much that once when it came on at RUMOURS INTERNATIONAL I ran from the “back bar” (because it was at the back of the big shed that we called a nightclub) all the way to the dancefloor and in my excitement managed to get a chair leg caught in my shoe strap and dragged it all the way. Like 40 metres through a crowded nightclub.
26 years after it was Number One I still get all overwhelmed with excitement when I hear it. I still want to put my hands behind my back and stomp out the tune.
I even found a bit of trivia out, the “Eileen” as featured in the video (and on the record sleeve) is Maire Fahey, sister of Siobhan Fahey, who we all remember from Bananarama.
And when did people stop playing tea chests? I seem to remember them as a big feature of our bush dances in primary school.
Bring back the tea chest!
