Despite being constantly termed as a one hit wonder by those not educated about the them, Dexy's Midnight Runners is easily one of the best bands of the 80s. All three of their releases are considered classics among critics, fans and those who actually know the band for more than "Come on Eileen." Their sound changed throughout their discography. They're supposidly releasing a new record in the near future. For the most part their sound can be described as a mix between post-punk, northern soul, and chamber pop.
Dexy fan: Searching for the Young Soul Rebels by Dexy's Midnight Runners is one of the greatest records of all time.
Person: You mean those "Come on Eileen" guys?
Dexy fan: ...you're a tool.

Get the M.A.N.S (Middle Aged Nazi Syndrome) mug.A Dexy's Midnight Mumbler is a person trying to lip sync the words of Dexy's Midnight Runner's classic hit "Come On Eileen"
Nobody knows the words to Come on Eileen, not even Dexy's Midnight Runners, and they wrote the stupid song.
But 1am at a retro disc, lights down, notice how everyone on the dance floor seems to know the words ..... match perfect?
Here's the real lyrics .........
"Come on Eileen, I swear, well he means
Ah come on let's, take off everything
Pretty red dress Eileen (Tell him yes)
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen
Pretty red dress Eileen (Tell him yes)
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen, please"
And if you turned off the music suddenly, this is what you would hear from the Dexy's Midnight Mumbler .....
"Come on Elieen ....... da da da I mean
come on yeah ..... everything
and that dress .... and that dress
come on yeah ...... oh Eileen .......... (you get the picture)

Get the s mi d mug.A National Holiday where we celebrate a Thai Treasure - Mew's Middies (MEW + TIDIES). First coming into the limelight
in August 2020, the start of 2021 was a dark time for the middie, with even social activists getting involved to
#FreeTheMiddie.
Finally around October 2021 our calls for more middies start to work with the imfamous "back on track' instagram posts,
leading up to the heart attack inducing 'check, check, check' post.
