I discovered Madness just a month ago, and they've been a gift that keeps on giving. Even caught them in NYC a couple days ago, and this song is completely new to me.
Have a look at their profile here on UA-cam and UA-cam music. They've made many albums as Madness, one as The Madness (only four of the members), suggs has made 2 solo albums, Lee Thompson and Chris Foreman were in a band called Crunch and released some material, Lee Thompson also has his group called 'Lee Thompson Ska orchestra', there's a great set from Glastonbury by then on UA-cam. The band also released a covers album under the name 'The Dangermen'. Carl ( Cathal, Chas Smash ) left the band years ago and has released one solo album. They've also made a film, starring themselves all about their formation. They are a British institution, massively underrated, particularly by the press and music institutions. If you need any more info, just ask. 👍
OH MY!!!! I can not believe it! I so missed Madness all these many years. Loved them so much when I was in High school! I do hope there is much more!!!
Haha kind of a pleasant surprise coming across this. This band has done so much for the evolution of ska. Does anyone else feel like this song sounded very similar to the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra?
I Feel As Madness Get Older ,No They Cant Be As Nutty As They Used To Be But Thats Not Their Fault..But They Make Up For It By Being Briliant Musicans.....People Migt Say stuff Like "Ehhh Madness Were Best In The 80's,, Well Im 14 N Love 80's Music,Wish I Was Born In The 80's Tbh But As Bavarianbass Sad...They've Become Older,...It Happens To everyone
I said I wanted Lee Kixer's T-shirt, you know with the old Maddy Boys logo, and for SOME reason someone reported my lament as spam. Well since I've been a fan of the worlds best damn band ska or otherwise since the 80s, I will say it again. I WANT HIS T-SHIRT! I would wear it proudly even here in the backwoods of Iowa where few people remember them for anything but Our House. And then I would tell them that Madness still kicks ass and buy The Liberty of Norton Folgate and Wonderful! So there!
Im pretty convinced that the ballet dancer guy is Lee (the saxophone guy) :D I dont see him anywhere else. And that hat... didnt he wear the same in the 'Night boat to Cairo' video?

I will see 'em live today :D
Excellent video that bloke in the backgound with the Swan Lake satire and Casablanca hat is funny. Excellent.
With Quality like that - and over the years, without losing it, too - I'm glad they spent the money on the fez.
Still awesome! Took some time to grow on me, but since the 7" I bloody love it... More lyrics now... awesome boys!
First decent track the boys have done in years...remember dancing like a loon to this at the Wembley Arena gig before Xmas 2006, top stuff
He quit briefly, but he's back in the fold now for the new album. :)

Im pretty convinced that the ballet dancer guy is Lee (the saxophone guy) :D I dont see him anywhere else. And that hat... didnt he wear the same in the 'Night boat to Cairo' video?

Yeahh Sistererica It Is Mike B.
madness? this.. is.. SPARTA!!
Ace Track!! Great Groove!! :)
DAMN! Those are some killer suits..
To those who don`t think Lee is in this video, then who do you think that is who`s pratting around in the tutu?
Oh mah gawd... One more "rocksteady beat of Madness" XD Brilliant :) Now, I understood that I am a fan of Lee... XD
Ladies, ladies, enough of the handbags. Let's concentrate on Madness... ;-)

Get the Madness!! Great stuff!! Just go with it baby!! :o)
i like it
suggs & the boys rocking it!!!!
i recon we should have enterd madness for eurovision...
they´ve become older... thats all. still good
Huh, The suits and white background do lend a comparison, but I think it ends there.
Ska will never die, long live the nutty boys!
Considering The Fact Lilemy Jus Said "No Kevin Burdett Stand In" Im Pretty Sure That's Kevin In The Video
true!
I read it in one of my scootering albem its there first one in 13 years

I'm pretty sure its this one. I'm guessing the other will probably be a B-side.
This. Is. Madness. :D
