Seriously, who hasn't once in their life caught themselves singing this? I believe it'd be the perfect song for Rock Band. Better yet... make a "One Hit Wonder" set list. I would LOVE to sing with this song or drum or whatever. Who else is with me?
For the record, I am a die-hard metal fan... this song just reminds me of the good times of my childhood.

This would be sweet. I'd pull out my jean overalls and step about while singing.

I want at least four One Hit Wonder packs: 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.

I support this thread, I have caught myself singing to it everytime I hear it play ><. And it would probably be one of those everyone-wants-to-play-on-partys kinda song

Absolutely yes. I'd be surprised if HMX didn't already try to get it, or that it's not in the works. Same with Safety Dance.

I like the song though I definitely prefer the Save Ferris version. I just like ska I guess?

My friend Graham is actually a huge Dexie's fan...like knows more than that song by them. I remember how happy he was when we went to karaoke once and found they have *4* DMR songs...he sang two of em.
I fully support Come on Eileen! Release it with a Smiths and B52s songs and call it the amiguously *** singer pack!

Alright! I actually made a thread that's worth making! Lol!
867-5309 (Jenny) - Tommy Tuton
You can't forget about "What is love?" But sadly, I can't remember who sang it. Wait... is that even a one hit wonder?

BUMP!
Like I was saying before, I wish more people would realize the amazing banjo playing in this song! It needs to be written down in Rock Band History as first band with a banjo!

come on Eileen was the single greatest human accomplishment of the 1980's.
Awwwe_Damn
09-25-2008, 12:30 AM
Exactly! That's why it should be on DLC! I have money so I can buy it now! HURRY! Someone make it!
On another note... I haven't had anyone strongly disagree, yet. Is this song even possible?

Bumped! Sorry, I'm desperate for this song!

Bumping again! I don't want to remake this thread like a million times. Last time I posted on this was about 2 months ago. I figured it'd be fine. :)

This was one of the songs I loved when I was growing up~ since I grew up on 80's songs.
Definitely yes

Definitely a YES from me. This song would be a huge hit at RB parties.

Yeah! See! You put the Dixie Chix on it (I downloaded it. It's actually challenging. Somewhat...), why not more Banjos! =D
