Terry Starbucker recently asked his Twitter friends to share their favorite guilty pleasure songs. 46 songs were nominated, which were then voted on to find the top 10. Come on Eileen was #1 – with 50% of the votes!
This song is a personal favorite of mine. I don’t consider it a guilty pleasure. I ain’t ashamed of my love for eighties music.
I’m reminded of the impromput 80′s dance party we had at my brother’s house in South Africa this New Year’s. This song was on the play list and all of us jumped around unashamedly to this tune, just like we did in the old days. Granted we were a little more out of breath at the end of the song than we might have been in the eighties, but it was just as much fun.
Seems like a good song for a rainy friday (in New Jersey).
Check out the rest of the list here. It includes some other personal favorites like Karma Chamelon and that legendary MC Hammers U Can’t Touch This!
