I used to think the Dexys Midnight Runners song "Come on Eileen" was "Mohamed Ali" and I always wondered why they sang about it but I couldn't find out because I didn't know the title or who the band was...
So I just added it on my itunes as "Mohamed Ali" by "Watchamacallit" until I saw the show "100 greatest 1 hit wonders", I was so happy to finally find out what they were saying.
