I heard this song a gozillion times as a kid. I didn't realize its meaning until I was a little older.
Wow, you are a youngster, aren't you?

I was working at a Ken's Pizza restaurant in the Summer of 1979 when this song came out. It was on the jukebox and during a typical 6 hour evening shift it seemed like it was getting played 4-5 times an hour.
I think all the employees grew to hate it.

That one song you hate. You know, the one you would crawl over hot coals to get to the radio to smash it with your bare fists just to have it stop the excruciating noise? That one song you would stick a pencil into your eardrums if it were the only song left in the world? That song when it starts playing on the car radio you instinctively look for the nearest tree to plow headon into? That one song that is so unique, and has such a different tune you cannot shake it from your head no matter how many blasting caps you use?
For me, it is Come On Eileen by the Dexy's Midnight Runners. I would actually commit mayhem if I were ever to meet one of the band members.
I absolutely HATE that song!
EEEEEYAHHHHH!!
