Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on KZbin, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on KZbin. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on KZbin, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

I'm OK with some people not liking this. They can stay seated at the tables and mind our coats while the rest of us go on the dancefloor and have a great time.

[@rhphotocdn]

One of the best songs ever!! I never associated it with anything controversial?!

[@womanonthinice1276]

Controversial? It was a great track! Played on the radio all the time, we loved it!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@brianmctague5723]

Controversial my arse, 😂 its just a perfect pop song! Woman likes man, man likes Woman, bingo! 😂 what's not to love! Just a great foot tapping piece of music 🎶🎵🎸🎻 !!

[@wendyryder2708]

I didn’t know your arse was controversial! lol! Great song!

[@mattleppard1964]

Bravo!

[@brianmctague5723]

@wendyryder2708 well wendyryder, controversial in the sense that he can get quite vocal! But usually only at weekends 🤣🤣, yep, I just love this song, love the violin and the banjo, taking the place of the usual lead guitar, music, the best therapy ever!

[@visaman]

In the 2020s heterosexuality is controversial.

[@williamronneywilliams2639]

A song that will never be forgotten, your right it's a catchy song and yes dance floors filled when this disc was played.

[@CEP73]

Usually the last song of the night. Everyone on the dance floor!!

[@user-gu1zb6cw6t]

One of the best feel-good songs of all time!

[@patswanson2870]

I like all the different instruments they use.

[@hopeklemann1]

oh please.... I was in college in 1982 I remember this song very clearly I've always been into music and no one absolutely no one was worried or reactive about it being controversial. and remember this was when Prince was hugely popular and yeah... know this was not upsetting to anyone & Prince was amazing as well

[@waltw4537]

Love the attitude of this one. Thanks.

[@poutine57]

oh Shawn,,, you know what they are talking about!!

[@gemini802]

Maybe his innocent in nature..

[@user-nu2hp2jn4u]

Always makes me smile ☺️

[@mattleppard1964]

Again, a timeless classic 😊 Controversy? Surely not

[@waltermaples3998]

My Favorite Song Ever. 😉👍❤️🥰🇺🇸

[@loisrogers9042]

Love this song! I couldn't hear the controversy, but maybe I'm missing some words.

[@visaman]

"Take off your dress!" Woke Virgins hate that line.

[@DannyD714]

people with dirty minds might think the chorus is saying a different spelling for the word "come". that's about the only thing i can think of as being risque. btw a violin and a fiddle are the same instrument. my favorite explanation of the difference is "a violin sings, and a fiddle dances".

[@feebeedoc78]

I was just a kid when this came out and it’s still a hugely catchy pop song. I kinda wish I hadn’t just seen the video.

[@Gill3D]

Some people look for reasons to be offended. This track is altogether fabulous. I can't hear this track without being reminded of Martin Stephenson & The Daintees. Their 'Wholly Humble Heart' is somewhat different stylistically but it always makes me think of happy summers.

[@visaman]

Johnny Ray is seen in the B & W stock footage at the beginning of the video. The girls have Johnny Ray printed on their shoes. His biggest hit was Cry. That's why they called him Poor Johnny Ray.

[@ronsandgren1]

Johnnie Ray was a pop singer in the early to mid fifties that had a lot of feeling and soul in his singing and a great voice. I think you should react to a few of his biggest songs and the three biggest are Cry, Just Walking in the Rain, and The Little White Cloud That Cried.

[@kathyrizzi8754]

I like this song👍👏👏👏💜☮️

[@LittleArianaHeart]

Loove this song, it's such a bop. Always had a crush on the girl playing Eileen. 😍

[@gemini802]

It was the 80s no snowflakes back then

[@albertscanlon2005]

Have tears in my eyes thinking back to the 80s as a teenager..memories come flooding back so nostalgic. This record was a huge hit and is undoubtedly one of the biggest hits of that decade. I think it was no1 for 6weeks or so. Not sure about the Dungarees though even if they were popular. Can't get everything right though!

[@fayesouthall6604]

Huge No1 in the U.K.

[@YeungSze]

Found one commentary that questions "Come On Eileen" is about a paedophile.😅(Search "Is Dexys Midnight Runners’ ‘Come on Eileen’ about a paedophile?" for the original article) Another controversy of the song is not about the content, but whether Kevin Rowland stole the song from ex-bandmate and lied about Eileen was his teenage girlfriend. (Search "The messy truth behind Dexys Midnight Runners’ ‘Come On Eileen’ - betrayal, public apologies and band break-ups for the original article")

[@tedsmith4385]

Try Geno or Jackie Wilson said

[@RalphSpoiledsport]

I never knew it was controversial. It was played a lot. I love it still.

[@visaman]

It wasn't back then but today it is among the Woke.

[@MaryannTurton]

Such a vibe!

[@alambyant]

There is nothing controversial about this song.

[@glassontherocks]

This came out when my neighbor's name was Eileen. The poor Girl caught Hell over it.

[@colinpatterson5125]

GENO GENO GENO GENO!✌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@IrishKack]

This is on my walking playlist. I love this catchy little ditty and not once noticed it was sexist. I was so wrapped up in the tune, I never paid attention.

[@LouieLouie3]

The 80's were the best.

[@coffee-xg6my]

Heart - Sing Child (KWSU-TV (1976) This is an awesome live performance by Heart in 1976

[@jamiemcadams7816]

Please go watch this dance sequence in the movie Perks of Being a Wallflower.”

[@ReactorsReactions101]

The whole album is a fun listen

[@krystalryan9174]

Love to love you baby - Donna Summers was released in 1975. And THIS song is controversial? 🤣

[@chitownlee]

This always gets my Scotch Irish blood going!

[@gemini802]

Johhny Ray a 1950s singer heartthrob

[@myownchannel247]

One of my teachers told us ( way back then ) this song was nasty and we should all go to the principal’s office 🤔🤭

[@gemini802]

Lol she was nuts then

[@lauraallen55]

@@gemini802 or he

[@kdpflush]

How is this sexist? Because the guy whose girlfriend was wearing a red dress to look sexy thought his girlfriend looked sexy in the red dress? JFC.

[@gemini802]

Exactly

[@visaman]

In 2024 heterosexuality is forbidden.

[@librarylady13]

Try Men Without Hats "Safety Dance". It's weird but fun. Another fun song is "I Want Candy" by Bow Wow Wow.

[@pattymckitrick7436]

😊😊😊😊

[@robertlane8142]

Sexist? Really? I don’t see it.

[@wombatwilly1002]

Many memes came out of this tune...lol.

[@garyarnett1220]

Nope it wasn't controversial at the time. Maybe today some might see a guy asking his GF to go all the way as sexist, but really? (PS this video started a mini fashion trend of girls in bibs.)

[@petershapland81]

It's not controversial. It's about a boy asking his girlfriend for sex. Nothing wrong with that

[@nicholasferrara7299]

Must be a lot of Snowflakes watching you! This was a great happy dance tune 🎶

[@gemini802]

Its not sexist 😅

[@gemini802]

Geno is a good one or Jackie Wilson says...

[@visaman]

Dexys arre pep pills ie. SPEED.

[@laurakali6522]

Pure 80’s. Just like Kajagoogoo’s Too Shy!

[@jodyjackson5475]

Oh good grief. Controversial?! Puh leez hardly…..Luckily we were grown ups when this song came out ….or at least could behave like one

[@scottrbloom]

It's not the lyrics that make it hated by some people. I have a bit of a love-hate feeling for it. It is catchy, that's for sure, but it is kind of bubblegum pop and has no real depth to it. Incorporating the standard Irish instruments is interesting, but they also rip off a few other tunes in the mix. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but overall it seems a little easy, and maybe a little lazy piece of song writing.

[@RuthKing-wm9nw]

Such a sing a long lol and get up and dance. Don't remember controversy...

[@debbiethomasson2709]

And they were never heard from again...

[@tedsmith4385]

Maybe in the Us but not GB with “Geno “ and “Jackie Wilson said” as hits

[@jameswiglesworth5004]

Surely one of the most irritating songs ever recorded.
