To all calling them a one-hit wonder - in the USA maybe - but in their native UK they had loads of hits including another number 1 Geno which was one of the greatest songs of the 80s and has more of a Stax Soul sound. Their cover of Van Morrison's Jackie Wilson Said was also a big hit and well worth checking out (this is the one they performed on The Young One's episode Bomb)

I say they can consistently churn out great, great tunes. I saw them live at The Sage, Gateshead about 6 years ago as just 'Dexys' (no apostrophe S 😊) and they were truly woooonderful performers. Truly entertaining show. They had loads of new material as well, which is well worth a listen to too: She Got a Wiggle and Nowhere is Home being my faves from that show/album. Fab! 👌🏻
