You know that catchy 80's tune, "Come on Eileen" about a poor lovesick young guy who really just wants to get laid? It's my absolute favourite, for many, many personal reasons but mainly the memories it brings back: sitting in the car with my dad on hot summers singing "Too ra loo ra loo" and not even knowing the rest of the lyrics but still loving it.

Turns out, it seems to be making a resurgence as well as experiencing a spike in knowability yep, that's a word). I've seen it all over the place lately! I was pretty skeptical when I first started seeing more mentions of it in commercials and TV shows the past week, but urns out it's real! Don't believe me? Just type "come on" into google and look at the autocomplete! "come on eileen" and "come on eileen lyrics" are in the top 5! I believe "come on eileen" is even the number one autocomplete suggestion!

It's even above the phrase "come on feel the noise" (a VERY popular 80's song lyric, I'm sure you must know) and "come on be my baby" AN ED SHEERAN LYRIC FROM "Shape of you" (an iTunes bestseller)!

I'm so happy!
