Dexys Midnight Runners - Geno

Pop Video Promo: 640x480 xvid Dexys Midnight Runners are a British pop group with soul influences, who achieved their major success in the early to mid 1980s. They are best known for their hits "Come on Eileen" and "Geno". Kevin Rowland (vocals, guitar) and Kevin "Al" Archer (vocals, guitar) founded the band in 1978 in Birmingham, England, naming the band after Dexedrine, a brand of dextroamphetamine popularly used as a recreational drug among Northern Soul fans at the time. The midnight runners referred to the energy the Dexedrine gave, enabling one to dance all night. "Big" Jim Paterson (trombone), Geoff "JB" Blythe (saxophone), Steve "Babyface" Spooner (alto saxophone), Pete Saunders (keyboard), Pete Williams (bass) and Bobby "Jnr" Ward (drums) formed the first line-up of the band to record a single, "Dance Stance" (1979). The song was released on the independent Oddball Records, and reached only number 40 in the British charts, but the next single, "Geno" about Geno Washington, and released on EMI was a British Number One in 1980. It featured the band's newest recruits, Andy Leek (keyboards) and Andy "Stoker" Growcott (drums). Geno lyrics: Back in '68 in a sweaty club (Oh Geno) Before Jimmy's Machine and The Rocksteady Rub (Oh Geno) On a night when flowers didn't suit my shoes After a week of flunking and bunking school The lowest head in the crowd that night Just practicing steps and keeping out of the fights Academic inspiration, you gave me none You were Michael the lover, the fighter that won And now just look at me as I'm looking down on you No I'm not being flash, it's what I'm built to do That man took the stage, his towel was swinging high (Oh Geno) This man was my bombers, my Dexy's, my high (Oh Geno) The crowd, they all hailed you and chanted your name But they never knew like we knew me and you were the same And now you're all over, your song is so tame You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name Academic inspiration, you gave me none You were Michael the lover, the fighter that won And now just look at me as I'm looking down on you No I'm not being flash, it's what I'm built to do Oh Geno (oh geno)
