W.M.W. Pick: Dexys Midnight Runners – “Too-Rye-Ay” (1982)

Today marks my 32nd birthday.  Happy birthday to me!  You know who else was born on August 17?  Robert DeNiro!  Sean Penn!  Davy Crockett!  Jorge Posada!  Mae West!  David Koresh!  And of course we can’t forget Kevin Rowland,
the frontman for the ultimate one-hit-wonder band, Dexys Midnight Runners.

How could you not like this band?  They wore overalls, played banjos and fiddles and accordions, and looked like they hadn’t bathed in weeks.  They also sounded like they were having tons of fun, in a straight-out-of-a-bar kind of way.  They’re kind of like the Mumford & Sons of the 80s.  Plus it’s hard for a song to get much catchier than “Come On Eileen.”  “Eileen, I’ll hum this tune forever.” Indeed.

Tracklist:

1 The Celtic Soul Brothers
2 Let’s Make This Precious
3 All In All (This
One Last Wild Waltz)
4 Jackie Wilson Said (I’m In Heaven When You Smile)
5
Old
6 Plan B
7 I’ll Show You
8 Liars A To E
9 Until I Believe In My
Soul
10 Come On Eileen

Slob Spotlight on: Yo-Yo Star, Shinji Saito

Whatever happened to the Yo-Y0? Why don’t people play it anymore? I remember people used to do tricks like “Walk the Dog”, “The Sleeper”, and “Feed the Biddy” but the best parts of this video aren’t his tricks, it’s when he takes a brake to dance with the music and make stupid faces. This kid is mad talented though.
