Every version of "Come On Eileen" I've heard that was supposed to be performed by Reel Big Fish was really performed by Save Ferris. Is there really a Reel Big Fish version out there? -cprompt 18:50, 28 March 2006 (UTC) Yeah I thought the exact same thing. Save Ferris is always miscredited as No Doubt, too...I doubt there are RBF or No Doubt versions. Can anyone provide some proof?Atticus2020 04:44, 16 June 2006 (UTC) No Doubt didn't do a cover of this song. I always find files for it that say No Doubt, but it is really Save Ferris. Can someone explain to me why the grammatically correct title redirects to a grammatically incorrect one? Is the title of the song really a reference to performing an act "on Eileen" as opposed to someone saying "Come On" to her? Yeesh...can someone who knows what they're doing fix this, please?

I'm pretty sure that the incorrect punctuation is the "true name" of the song. It's much the same with the name of the band -- Standard Written English would insist that "Dexys" have an apostrophe in it, but that apostrophe is absent on official material like the album cover. 86.163.203.106 (talk) 19:33, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
