“Geno” hit number one in the UK two years before their 1982 worldwide hit “Come on Eileen.” According to Wikipedia, the song was a tribute to soul singer Geno Washington and was done in the style of Geno Washington’s Ram Jam Band.

It’s a catchy song that has grown on my over the past couple years.

When I wake up with “Geno” in my head, it’s generally one of three parts:

  • The horn part at 1:34

  • The lyric part at 2:14

  • The “Oh Geno” part toward the end at 3:09
