MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1 – Save Ferris “Come On Eileen”)

Earlier this week, back in 1997…

Save Ferris released their debut album…

and gave an ’80s classic

a serious ska makeover.

(Music Cut #2 – Save Ferris “Come On Eileen”)

Of course, Save Ferris didn’t write this one.

More than a decade earlier…

Dexys Midnight Runners

took “Come On Eileen”

all the way to number one.

Music Cut #3 — Dexys Midnight Runners “Come On Eileen”)

But Save Ferris didn’t just borrow their song…

they also borrowed their name from the movies.

“Save Ferris” comes from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off…

and the campaign to…

well…

save Ferris.

(Music Cut #4 – Yello “Oh Yeah”)

And yes…

that’s Yello.

But if you’ve seen Ferris Bueller’s Day Off…

you know exactly why it belongs here.

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“You in that dress
My thoughts, I confess
Verge on dirty
Oh, come on, Eileen.” – Save Ferris, via Dexys Midnight Runners, “Come On Eileen”
