Notes

Music

• "Come On Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners: In the opening scene, Brian is punched out at an 80s club, surrounded by people singing the bridge of "Come On Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners. The song was the biggest selling single in Britain during 1982 and appeared on the album Too-Rye-Ay. Incidentally, everyone in the club is dressed like the band members, as they appear on the sleeve of the record (and in the music video).
