Sing it and post the video on Youtube. Come on, it's your duty
I actually think all these suggested songs need to come with videos of them being sung. It will help the non musically imaginative (like myself) know if they are any good or not. Perhaps we should appoint one of the musicians on here as official song interpreter.
Using any dexy's song other than Geno for anything is just plain ridiculous.
And the barmaid at one of my locals used to go out with Rowland years back and is convinced that Come on Eileen is about her... As her names actually Lorraine though I'm sceptical
A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more.

Question her Columbo style and see if any of her story matches up:
"This song is based on a true story. Eileen was a girl that Kevin Rowland grew up with. Their relationship became romantic when the pair were 13, and according to Rowland, it turned sexual a year or two later.
Rowland was raised Catholic and served as an altar boy in church. Sex was a taboo subject, and considered "dirty" - something that fascinated him. When he wrote this song, Rowland was expressing the feelings of that adolescent enjoying his first sexual relationship and dreaming of being free from the strictures of a buttoned-down society"
