D is for Dexy’s Midnight Runners

I was an 80s baby. I grew up in the MTV age. I actually remember when MTV first came out. I was instantly hooked. Yes, I remember watching The Boggles and Flock of Seagulls and all those other early video bands.

But even before the MTV age, music was a big part of my life. If you ever check out my blog, I do What’s Playing Wednesdays, or I talk about music frequently. When I was in college, I was a disc jockey for the college radio station. In other words, music is a way of life for me.

Which is why I’m taking the time this month to post music. Lucky me, I got D and the first band that came to mind was Dexy’s Midnight Runners. “Come On Eileen” has to be one of the most recognizable songs from the 80s.

I loved the mix of folk music and rock. I thought it was so cool when I was younger (all of 6) and yeah, I wanted to wear a pair of overalls and dance down the street. That never happened. Thank goodness. I have enough things from the 80s to cringe about.

Hope you enjoy!
