Overview:
"Too-Rye-Ay" is the second album by Dexys Midnight Runners, released in July 1982. The album is best known for the hit single "Come On Eileen", which included the lyrics "too-rye-ay" that inspired the album's title.
Certain editions of the album featured a version beginning with a violin introduction and then simply fading out at the end. This version of the song is the one featured on the single release. Other editions of the album (including many of the "re-releases") featured a version without the violin intro and including a tag of Kevin Rowland singing the folk song "Believe Me.
The album was re-released in 1996 on CD with 8 bonus tracks. In 2000 an enhanced edition was released with the music videos for "Come On Eileen" and "Jackie Wilson Said" as bonus material. In 2002 a US edition with bonus tracks was released. Marking its 25th Anniversary, a 2007 2-CD Deluxe Edition was released.
Music information in first post provided by The AudioDB
There’s no way that you never heard of Dexys Midnight Runners if you grew up in the 80s. This album Too-Rye-Aye was responsible for one of the most popular 80s songs Come On Eileen. The song is on my 80s playlist.
