The smile on Asia's face when the song started says it all about this song...just plain old fun music! Too-ra-loo-ra means goodbye and be seeing you later in the Gaelic (Irish) tongue
Half my family is from Northern Spain. The dictatorship had just ended and European and American music was starting to be played in bars. This tune poured out of them. Little old dudes with black berets bopping their heads and swaying. Childhood memories.
@@alanrabbitte2123 Like most diaspora people with Irish heritage growing up with boomer parents or older, they probably got the Irish-American created lullaby sung to them. My Irish gran used to sing it to me and I thought it was Irish, never stopping to wonder why they'd say "its an Irish lullaby" in an Irish lullaby until years later. You can find a version of it on here by Bing Crosby. There's more authentic Irish musical nods in this track. "Courtin' in the Kitchen" has a bunch of Too-ra-loo-rye-ay and Too-ra-loo-ra-laddies in it.
So glad you reacted to that. I think I was probably one of the people who requested it. 2021 and it's still played in bars in the UK. It just makes everyone get up and dance. Happy song. Thanks for reacting to this one.
the sheer amount of beer and hard liquor that has been spilled on the floor or over other people whilst pubs and clubs full of people singing and dancing to this tune is just amazing... and it still happens today.
I was 13 going on 14 when this was released back in 82. It reached number one in the United States, and it was their second number one hit here in the UK, following 1980's "Geno".
Appreciate you Asia and BJ in introducing this music to a new generation. Great work! This band was truly outside the box in so many ways. Being from the UK. specifically Birmingham England ..this band created a very progressive POP sound using Birmingham or English blues influences , and Celtic folk music , combined into an unmistakable sound. The lead singer Kevin Rowland , had one of the most unique, vocal styles I have ever heard..he sounded very much like a Very congested Bob Dylan. But oddly , it was a satisfying , and even cleansing sound. The other uniqueness of this band , is that they did not use conventional instruments. Not a single electric guitar , electric bass, NO synths, no electronics other than the microphones on their Banjos, ukuleles, acoustic guitars, large stand up concerto bass (Orchestral type) . Bongos , accordions and other outside the box instrumentation. They were really a delight to listen to , and a breath of fresh air in the POP music scene of the late 70's through today . (They are still jammin today).
this song was number one in australia when i was growing up . the only other song i can remember of theirs was a song called Geno. which was around the time of ska music from england.bands like madness.
In their home country they definitely were NOT one hit wonders, this wasn't even their 1st number one hit. The huge hit "Geno" reached #1 two years before and had a completely different instrument mix being focused on brass instruments instead of violins. BTW It is a tribute to American R&B singer 'Geno Washington'. Definitely worth its own reaction. They also had numerous top 20 UK hits.
Best wedding song EVER! Gets everyone on the dance floor! Your mum and grandma included! When it slows down, who does the leg kick!!! Think I kicked a shoe into my brother’s best man’s face! 🤣 Love when Americans are introduced to classic British tracks. Subscribed 🏴😂❣️
Dexys midnight runners are named after dexedrine, an amphetamine mods used to take here in the UK in the 60s(they were actually prescribed as a diet pill back then) . The pills kept you up and awake all night, hence you were a dexys midnight runner lol
Jaz, you may be correct, though my uncle always told me that he was a midnight runner because he was paid, as a teenager, to run the drug around the nightclubs of Birmingham in the 70s , as was kevin rowland……guess the truth is out there somewhere..!
In the early 1970s in Britain there was a music trend called Northern Soul, which was basically a lot of obscure 1960s Detroit soul singles imported from the US that had failed to hit the charts there, but became club hits in the UK - like the original of Tainted Love. Dexy's came out of the late 70s punk scene, but switched to a Northern Soul-inspired sound and then fused that with their Irish/Celtic folk heritage - Van Morrison had done something similar a decade earlier.
Unless you were there it's difficult to describe just how big this song was in the UK in '82 - IT WAS EVERYWHERE ! Every radio station , every pop programme , every party - EVERYWHERE !
You know you just have certain songs that make you smile and before you know it your feet are moving and your hands are in the air.......this is one of mine. Love it! ❤
As a Yank, visiting the UK for the first or second time in the late 90s, Gerry Rafferty's Baker St came on the sound system, and the entire club I was in went wild, freaked out, and I was like WTF? lol
When the drinks flow at any party or club and this song comes on, everyone of all ages gets up and dances. It's one of the best feel-good songs of all time.
Classic early 80s british hit, lead singer from Birmingham, England. Early 80s was a melting pot of styles in britain. Try “Vienna” by ultravox, “ sound of the crowd” by human league and “one step beyond” by madness for a range of different sounds
Back when this was released, I was a young clerk on Wall Street and just starting my climb. I had met this young pretty blond Irish 😢girl, whom later found out that she was a firm partner's daughter and my boss's receptionist. We escalated into a hot summer romance that ended when it was discovered by her dad that we had snuck out of a beach house party for some alone time. Her dad and our boss then conspired to break us up and eventually succeeded as the NYC summer came to an end. I'll never forget her, nor this song, as of course, it was our song. Amazing how after all these years I still feel some heartache 😢. Music can be so powerful. Back in the day, we just considered this to be punk, but years later realized it was one of the pioneers of Celtic folk punk. Although primarily a Ska band, Dexy's, along with the Pogues, Big Country and Lick the Tins were the first wave, then followed by bands like the Drop Kick Murphy's, Flogging Molly, the Tossers, the Real Mckenzie's and so on. Aileen ❤
Always thought of this tune as a modern version of the Irish jigs and reels and fiddle tunes that came out of Ireland, but with a little mix of some American influence. What a fun song...
I guess you didn't realize this song is about 'slumming' it with an Irish lass? Never stopped me from singing it at the top of my lungs and going nuts on the dance floor or roller rink.
I was a teenager when this was popular. And it was VERY popular. MTV played it a lot too. I played this over and over and over and sang at the top of my lungs with it.
They referred to their sound as "Celtic Soul", mixing old soul influences with Irish folk. One of the tracks on the same album was called The Celtic Soul Brothers.
One of the greatest one hit wonders of all time! I was in high school when this came out in the early 80s, and the one element you are missing from your reaction is the music video. Not only was the song huge, but the video was solely responsible for overalls becoming an 80s fashion statement. This song was most definitely old school alternative, or New Wave, as it was called in the day. I'm from Los Angeles, and it was a staple on KROQ, our alternative radio station. It crossed over into Pop, but I would not call it disco.
I remember requesting this in the first One Hit Wonder Reaction night 😂. Without the lyrics it's hard to understand his accent. Awesome song though and great reaction Asia and BJ. Too-Ra-Loo-Rye-Aye!!!!!!!!❤️ it...
@@barrycohen311 You're not too far off. The song is meant to be a criticism of guilt that many Catholics experience as a result of the way the Church preached morality for quite a long time.
They are a great band from Birmingham here in England. I'm an old Brummie one for a good old sing song. Please Pllease check out Eivør - Falling Free (Live at the Old Theater in Torshavn) She is excellent thank you both.If you do I will share it with loads of Eivor fans.
Kevin Rowland called what Dexy's did Celtic Soul Music and it uses Irish folk music. It didn't last long but this song went to no. ! on the Billboard pop chart. Check out the video to this song.
Brilliant memories of the early 80s,I was 19 and if you ever get chance to either reach to the video or just have a look yourself, I think it shows how the youth in the UK had so much great and creative musicians and singers,it makes me proud that I was part of all that from mid 70s onwards. I must confess though that I think whatever generation we are we tend to take for granted what's around us,so I suppose iam saying to all you young reactors, don't forget we all have been where you are now.
It was the 80's . Now as I'm looking back and listening to the actual words to all the songs we use to party to, they were pretty much all about (putting it lightly) having a real good time.lol
I was on a long drive a few years ago with my daughter, who was 18 at the time, and this came on the radio. I looked over to see her stomping her foot during the middle break when it slows down. She looked back and said, "This is really catchy!" I agreed and told her it was part of her Irish roots.
Reminds me of the old joke: My buddy asked why I looked down, told him I had a bad night at the club. They played do the twist, I did the twist, they played do the hustle, I did the hustle, they played come on Eileen, I got kicked out.
Check out the Australian mini-series "Wakefield" -- this song plays a major role in the inner life of the protagonist, a psychiatric nurse and the psychiatric facility (Wakefield).
Y'all would have *way* more fun with these '80's tunes if you can find the original video! This was in heavy rotation on MTV when I was a teen. You guys are great!
This song incorporates a lot of beats from different bands in the 60's. It is standard song that is played at all of our family get-togethers, My mother-in-law is a 90 year old lass named Eileen who will get up and rock with the rest of us when this song is played. Tremendous energy in this song. When we play this at family weddings, parties, Crawfish boils and more - the parties energy hits a whole new level. Clan Buckley can close a bar with this song.
If you want to see people flooding onto a dancefloor in the UK, just play this record. It also has probably the best ever chorus to get people singing!
What people who are not from the UK need to understand when your at a wedding and this tune drops at the reception everyone hits that dancefloor drinks go flying it's a classic gun tune 🎉

The smile on Asia's face when the song started says it all about this song...just plain old fun music! Too-ra-loo-ra means goodbye and be seeing you later in the Gaelic (Irish) tongue
“Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Rai” is a famous Irish lullaby, so there’s some history to that phrase.
Not just harmonies.
Half my family is from Northern Spain. The dictatorship had just ended and European and American music was starting to be played in bars. This tune poured out of them. Little old dudes with black berets bopping their heads and swaying. Childhood memories.

@@kevintipcorn6787 I have a Frank Sinatra album with Too-Ra-Loo-Ra on it. I was sang the lullaby and I sang it to my kids.

I was definitely born in the wrong decade.
@@mollie3484 I probably was too. But then, probably like all decades better than the one I was born into :)
I must be the only individual in the UK & Ireland that can't stand this song, or DMNR as a band. I love The Pogues though. Great band.
No. 1 in the UK for ages... big big hit!!
Tooraloora is a traditional and typical Irish lullaby. The lead singer had Irish heritage, and with this he is honouring it
the sheer amount of beer and hard liquor that has been spilled on the floor or over other people whilst pubs and clubs full of people singing and dancing to this tune is just amazing... and it still happens today.
This song still gets people out on the dance floors. I love this song.
Forty years later, still catchy as hell.... a real mishmash of instruments, vocals, timing, melodies. Love it!
I was 13 going on 14 when this was released back in 82.
It reached number one in the United States, and it was their second number one hit here in the UK, following 1980's "Geno".
Man. This reminds me of my parents dancing like nutters in the mid 80's. Great party song.
We danced a million miles to this!! Love it!
LoL the greatest 1 hit wonders in the world!!!! This song was so fun!!
I've always liked this song since it was first released. Gosh it makes me feel old now. Great post.
This song should NEVER make you feel old.
Appreciate you Asia and BJ in introducing this music to a new generation. Great work!

I so love this song I'm glad you guys are doing this video for the first time I love songs like this
This song always makes want to dance especially when it slow then speeds up get you hyped ♥️
This is one of those songs that while you listen, you need to also see the original video in order to experience it in its entirety.
came out when I was in second grade..loved it then and it just never gets old
this song was number one in australia when i was growing up .
the only other song i can remember of theirs was a song called Geno.
which was around the time of ska music from england.bands like madness.
" toora loo rye ay" is a folk music thing and follows the line "sing just like our fathers".
Love this song, brings back memories of Roller skating in the 80s!
The UK really made the best music in the 80s/90s its just unmatched

This was a good 80's song... you would also enjoy Neneh Cherry with Buffalo Stance....
Seriously fun and happy song. So much wonderful energy.

When Asia caught on..... I laughed out loud. So funny. Thanks Asia.
5.14-5.15 😂
You know you just have certain songs that make you smile and before you know it your feet are moving and your hands are in the air.......this is one of mine.
Love it! ❤
As others have mentioned, a fantastic sing-along in the pubs in the U.K.
As a Yank, visiting the UK for the first or second time in the late 90s, Gerry Rafferty's Baker St came on the sound system, and the entire club I was in went wild, freaked out, and I was like WTF? lol
But, it's an Irish song?
Great one-hit wonder in the US. They had several hits in the UK, and Ireland
Was a HUGE hit here in South Africa in the 80s..played on every Radio station, shopping malls.. For many years this one stayed as a favourite on radio
Also hugely popular here in Australia...
When the drinks flow at any party or club and this song comes on, everyone of all ages gets up and dances. It's one of the best feel-good songs of all time.
This song was a staple to any college party with a DJ. I love it!

Literally an English band but the Irish trying to claim pmsl
They mention Johnny Ray great singer from 60s has big hit like Just walking in the rain
What a great song! It was huge when it first came out.
MTV made them famous.

Absolutely love this song.Brings back so many memories.The 80`s were hard to beat for great music.
hahahaha! I had no idea this song was about this. growing up, we just sang this song. he was trying to GET with Eileen.
He is begging Eileen to give him a "shot." He wants the dress off...he wants to make sweet, sweet love. That's what this song is about.
But Eileen is a good Catholic girl, so she demands a Church marriage before she gives out...

Lol I’m gonna have to steal that joke.
Aww I was looking forward to seeing your reaction to the Music Video. It goes so well with the song and I love the 80s UK vibe it has.
I love this song so much that I named my precious rescue pup "Eileen".
This song is so great!!! 🔥 it makes ya wanna get up and dance 🕺🤪
Definitely check out the live version of ‘There there, my dear.’ It’s ace!
When this song came out...all the girls named Eileen had a really tough time 😁
Such a great song…. “SAVING FERRIS” did a ska remake….. it’s the bees knees
Yeah, I love the Save Ferris version.

First few times I heard this song I really thought he sang I’m gonna jump this jewel forever!
UK classic back in the day.
The whole album is worth hearing.
great reaction, insighful thoughts, im impressed , best asia is when your eyes look like they are about to fall out
The fun of this song it would get everyone up dancing no matter what age or talent for dancing they had
Gets my 90 year old mother-in-law a lovely lass named Eileen up and dancing on her replacement knees.
Absolute classic song, heard it in so many pubs here in NZ. My brother even has an "I came on Eileen" t-shirt 😂
The penny dropped at almost the very same moment with both! 😂
Makes me emotional.
What people who are not from the UK need to understand when your at a wedding and this tune drops at the reception everyone hits that dancefloor drinks go flying it's a classic gun tune 🎉
My favorite track from Perks of Being a Wallflower
Played at every party in the UK back then,no one knew the words of course but everyone bounced to it.
This was a Hit in ALTERNATIVE RADIO in the 80's - BIG BAR Song :-D
Fun song...and the group that made overalls popular again
You two are hysterical 🤣
