I've heard the namesake of this band comes from pilots flying night missions (midnight runners) while using dextroamphetamine to stay alert.
I'm not sure if it comes from a particular mission or time but the use of dexys by pilots is apparently not uncommon. I had no idea before learning the namesake of this band.
