My vote is for "Come On Eileen"; that was their only hit in the US.
I find it weird how lots of these bands/artists have only one hit in the U.S., but multiple hits elsewhere. :-\\ ::)

True, it's b/c most Americans have undiagnosed ADD and can't pay attention for long. Seriously that should be studied.

'There There My Dear' with its very off-kilter lyrics!
In fact, do yourselves a favour and try and get hold of their first (and best) LP...'Searching For The Young Soul Rebels' (which had those first three titles on it)...much better than the 'Too-Rye-Ay' stuff!

They did have 1 other U.S. hit with 'The Celtic Soul Brothers', but it was such a minor hit, it wouldn't have gotten big radio play :\'(
