Just A Little Coaxing: Come On Aileen By Dexy's Midnight Runners





They say that when a person has a strong sense of persuasion, he or she can charm a leopard to change its spots. A lot of times, that kind of ability is a must-have, especially now that people are very reluctant due to the hard times that we face. Still, with a little persistence and some well-placed words, some people can pull it off, no matter how stubborn the other guy feels. Anyone who can do that sure can go places. Having that kind of ability reminds me of the song "Come On Aileen" by Dexy' Midnight Runners.

Apart from a good driving song, this reminds of trying to get someone to join the bandwagon. Whoever Aileen is, she sure is a hard person to convince. Still from the way this song plays, slowly but surely she gives in and says "Yes". You can tell by the way the song goes on a high note till the end. In the end, everybody's happy.

Wouldn't it be great if we are able to convince people to join in something good? The more the merrier and this is especially true when you want to expand your circle of friends. With tough times like today, that kind of talent is a gift. Still, they say that with just the right words you can move mountains. I guess it's just a matter of finding out what makes you tick.
