Dexy's Midnight Runners fue un grupo británico de música pop con influencia soul con éxito en los años ochenta en particular con la canción "Come on Eileen".
Kevin Rowland y Kevin "Al" Archer fundaron el grupo en 1978 en Birmingham, Inglaterra con el nombre de Dexedrine. La parte del nombre The midnight runners se refiere a la energía que la Dexedrine daba y que posibilitaba bailar toda la noche. "Big" Jim Paterson, Jeff "JB" Blythe, Steve "Babyface" Spooner
