The band are from Camden, London. The lead singer, Suggs, has a strong London accent. The song was released in 1980 - before video cameras were easily available and before modern production values so this 'video' was probably recorded using a film camera on a low budget. I once read that Madness are like a Ska band that broke out in the middle of a Monty Python sketch and I think that is the most apt description of them. They never set out to be serious, just fun and that's what makes them so good.
This song was released in 1980. Madness were and still are a fantastic band. So much fun to see live. Their music is so happy and infectious. Check out their greatest hits album as a way to get into their music.
Despite feeling aches and pains as I approach middle age (and lets not forget about my ever increasing waist line)> I thank god that I experienced the "Nutty Sound".
Flying back then was a whole heap of work. A crane, some wire and a prayer the wire didn't snap. No CGI back then. Released in 1980 and got to number 3 in the UK charts. Probably their best known record but not their highest charting which went to House of Fun, their only Number One. Madness were my favourite band back when I was much, much younger.
It is working class two tone and skinhead style. The girl with the Londsdale shirt, the Crombie coats, playing football (soccer) with your mates. It was a magical time when all the two tone records came out.
They had so many, such a great band. Loved watching the doco/ movie about how the band was formed. The keyboardist was such a talented, driven individual - really wanted to succeed.
Madness are from London and the singer has a strong London accent. I think this song was released in 1980 (?). The saxaphone player was hoisted up on a wire for the video and has said that it was extremely uncomfortable.
Baggy Trousers was released in 1980. Another great English band. You should react to Embarrassment, It Must Be Love, Grey Day and Return of the Los Palmas 7. Infact every tune on the album Madness 7 is a banger. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
When you said the classroom kids were 'very serious', that expression is meant to be boredom. The accents are London accents. Try 'It Must Be Love' by Madness for a different sound. It's a song by Labbi Siffre, that Madness covered. Labbi Siffre plays in the video.
Good old Baggy Trousers, you can't go wrong with Madness. My Girl, Cardiac Arrest, Night Boat To Cairo. Suggs wrote Baggy Trousers as a response to Leave Those Kids Alone by The Police, but said the style was based on Ian Dury and The Blockheads, you really should try one of his, Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick or Reasons To Be Cheerful. He really was unique.
They were around somewhere in the 80's. I think they're still touring in the UK. Everytime I watch certain UK music festival highlights year after year, they were always around to play their music. All band members are still alive and in good health.
The group, Madness are all "late" Baby Boomer generation and all the kids in the video are early GenX kids, like I was. I was 14 when this song came out in 1980 and this group and these songs were TOP of the charts. I am so glad I grew up with music like this, fun, up-beat and catchy. My generation grew up in a FUN decade from 1980-1990 - loved it
This song is from 1980. Madness are from North London so yeah, they have an "accent". Try "Night Boat To Cairo", "Embarrassment", "Grey Day", "One Better Day", "House Of Fun", "Shut up", "The Sun And The Rain", "Wings Of A Dove", "Forever Young".
Again this is back in 1980, like most madness videos it was done on the cheap. A crain on a building site and a harness from production and there you go. Madness are bloody great and still touring today.
Early 80's...the swinging sax player was on a wire from a crane.... my madness fav.....Nightboat To Cairo........ they are not called The Nutty Boys for nothing
The flying saxaphonist, Lee Thompson, is an iconic moment in British music videos. He also did it in the closing ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics. You should also react to 'House of Fun'. Bonus points if you work out what the song is about! Or if you want to be different to every other reaction channel check out some of their more recent stuff which is just as good. I recommend Drip-fed-Fred which also features the legendary Ian Dury (check out his no.1 hit 'Hit me with your rhythm stick.') and 'Johnny the Horse' possibly my favourite Madness song which has a really upbeat tune but tells a very poignent story. For a change in Madness style 'Never knew your name' is worth a listen. It's a bitter-sweet romantic ballard.
I got into Madness when I was in 8th grade, maybe 82 or 83. Really enjoy your reactions and theres plenty of Madness left. Btw they took their name from the classic ska track "Madness" by Prince Buster.
North London accent, 1980. There some good suggestions, for other tracks. The prince, is one of my favourites. It's about Prince Buster. The man who gave Madness their name!
@@jonesyboy69 I was 12... Just! I remember Madness so well, I used to have a Cromby, Harrington Jacket, Bomber Jacket, Loafers with Blakeys , DM's, Fred Perry shirts, bleached jeans turn-ups the lot!! I even had a cardboard 7 from one of the concerts! Used to love Madness big time back in the day, still appreciate hearing them now, although I'm into rock music nowadays.
It's one thing to have the flying sax player in a video, but they did the same things live. If you look for different live versions of this song, you can see that in some of them.
Much much later that 11 years that video was just put on yourtube then... my dad listened to this when he was a kid and he is in his 50s. Also they are english
And on top of that they're from London, so some would call them 'Cockney', but you have to be born within the sound of the Bow Bells, to be a true Cockney. That all leads onto another story.
This is the real Madness. Our House was done by alien Madness taken over by record label moguls. The real Madness did one type of music - ska. Now check out A Message to You Rudie by The Specials.
You know absolutely NOTHING about Madness at all! They had all sorts of musical influences and Ska was just one part that they didn't touch on after their first album (the first time around). This, whilst fun,is essentially a kiddies song that I guess fits your dumb a** brain that cannot deal with more mature music.
The 80's UK music scene was incredible. Growing up in Manchester amidst the explosion of indie bands along with Madness,The Jam,The Clash,The Specials and who can forget lip up fatty by bad manners absolute quality.
Love madness their one step beyond album is great from start to finish my girl, nightboat to Cairo,bed and breakfast man , and one step beyond all have videos
MADNESS HAS DONE IT AGAIN!!! WHO WILL TOP THIS VIDEO!!
London accent. They were the "nutty boys", this was early 80s, talking about their school days.
Ps, ive emailed biden and asked if i can adopt you 😁
Check out "madness madness", kind of explains the whole nutty boys image and how they never ever took things serious.

Madness - Embarrassment or House of fun... there's plenty more from the nutty boys, madness is all in the mind!😁

The only accent stronger than suggs(london) is from ESSEX... In particular.. Tillbury, Basildon, and saarfend! 💪...
Oi OI!!
Drop this at any wedding/wake in the UK and the dance floor will immediately fill with dads, grandads, uncles and kids. It's a great party tune.

Great days Madness,Specials,The beat.The jam,the list goes on
Such a great time to be a kid listening to music. So much great diverse music about.
Despite feeling aches and pains as I approach middle age (and lets not forget about my ever increasing waist line)> I thank god that I experienced the "Nutty Sound".
They played this at my brother's wedding and it was CRAZY. Everyone was hammered and dancing around like maniacs, it was great fun!!!

They were everybodies favourite band.
@@macker33 Absolutely. Although the cool kids might claim it was The Specials, secretly they loved Madness.
No!!!! I thought he had the force!!! LOL
I've been a huge fan for 45yrs! Seen them live twice and highly recommend you listening to more 😊

Rude Boys mate
“Teacher comes to break it up, back of the head with a plastic cup…”
That shit really happened
All accomplished musicians, a proper arrangement... almost unheard of these days
Growing up in the UK and getting curbed by teachers was standard practice of the time.
One of my favourite songs from my school days must be 1980/81 ish. Favourite Madness song is My Girl
They had so many, such a great band. Loved watching the doco/ movie about how the band was formed. The keyboardist was such a talented, driven individual - really wanted to succeed.
This track was released in 1980... if you want more Madness, check out 'Embarrassments' 'Shut Up' and ' Must be Love'
Madness are from London and the singer has a strong London accent. I think this song was released in 1980 (?). The saxaphone player was hoisted up on a wire for the video and has said that it was extremely uncomfortable.
Madness started up back in 1979! Most of their music if from the 80’s but they are still going now and I see them at least once a year 👍🏻
Baggy Trousers was released in 1980. Another great English band. You should react to Embarrassment, It Must Be Love, Grey Day and Return of the Los Palmas 7. Infact every tune on the album Madness 7 is a banger. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

It's hard to get this song out of your head! It will just randomly pop into your head one day, trust me!!
For, like, 40 years.
Listen to ‘house of fun’ by Madness
Good old Baggy Trousers, you can't go wrong with Madness. My Girl, Cardiac Arrest, Night Boat To Cairo. Suggs wrote Baggy Trousers as a response to Leave Those Kids Alone by The Police, but said the style was based on Ian Dury and The Blockheads, you really should try one of his, Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick or Reasons To Be Cheerful.

@@davidbrook7503 👊😁 yeah the police sang the peado teacher song and the stalker song.

Nightboat to Cairo by them ,it's a blast and fun
Yesss!!
All I learned at school was how to bend, not break, the rules. 😎
If you are liking SKA then try the Selecter maybe start with On My Radio?
Listen to it must be love... Or a totally amazing tune from mgmt electric feel. Awesome song
And yes they are English so he has a English accent.

More Madness! Yes please 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Love the reactions from you both and now fully subbed up! 👍🏻🔥🔥
This reaction is more fun to watch muted, less distraction.
There was a distraction, but I'm definitely not complaining!
@@bryanparenteau374
I was thinking of Madness Albums "Keep Moving " , "The Rise & Fall" & "Wonderful"!.
This song is from 1980. Madness are from North London so yeah, they have an "accent". Try "Night Boat To Cairo", "Embarrassment", "Grey Day", "One Better Day", "House Of Fun", "Shut up", "The Sun And The Rain", "Wings Of A Dove", "Forever Young".
Try Embarrassment - about the sax players sister who had a baby with her black boyfriend and their parents reaction
Didn't know it was about that. Thanks.
Madness were way ahead with this song. Seen interview with the grown up child. All is cool now : )
Madness: Wings of a Dove.
"I'll have silence in my classroom." Righto.
"It Must Be Love"
"Night Boat to Cairo"
"Shut Up"
Classic Madness songs and they are really catchy!
Plus "My Girl" and "Embarrassment"!
No one ever suggests House of Fun.
The nutty boys, their called madness for a reason.
I don’t know if you guys know this but the saxophonist started flying because he has the force!!! LOL
This is my jam! Thanks you two...
They all grew up and come from Camden Town in North London.
Top man is a chelsea supporter.
Need to check out their song "one step beyond"
There are two reasons why I like to watch your videos.
Dexys Midnight Runners... Come On Eileen, from 1982. It was a huge hit video on MTV back in the awesome days of music videos. Give it a listen.
Again this is back in 1980, like most madness videos it was done on the cheap. A crain on a building site and a harness from production and there you go. Madness are bloody great and still touring today.
Perfect top for madness bopping 👌🏻
The first single I bought with my own money. 1980 I was full on Ska boy at the age of 12 ..... 2 years later I was a full on Metalhead.
Madness were actually my entry way into metal lol. I remember trading my Divine Madness album with someone for Metallica's Black Album
Yeh that was 80's x I can't believe it looking back and I grew up with them!
It came out in the eighties, madness was brilliant.
The trend was called SKA music which was enlightented from cultured english carribean and african music.
Im an old UK dude who lives in Australia, You two are fantastic...keep it up. Peace.
The song was released in September 1980.
Before UA-cam was around.
Early 80's...the swinging sax player was on a wire from a crane.... my madness fav.....Nightboat To Cairo........ they are not called The Nutty Boys for nothing
Been listening to madness all my life, I'm 20. My parents love them. Seeing them live on monday
Madness, this was the first single record (vinyl) I got on my birthday, I was 8-9 years old 😆
The accent is typical "Cockney," or London. He'd be pronouncing the title as "Baggy Trahzers"!😁
The accent is from London plain and simple ,the best accent on this earth.
Madness made (make) catchy, fun pop songs that were always rooted to a more or a lesser extent, in the Ska sound of early 1960s Jamaica.
Baggy trousers was released in 1980
Invisible strings? No way! He's flying for real! That's Madness for you.
Great band- my favourite song of theirs
MADNESS - THE KINGS OF THE SKA !
The flying saxaphonist, Lee Thompson, is an iconic moment in British music videos. He also did it in the closing ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.
You should also react to 'House of Fun'. Bonus points if you work out what the song is about!
Or if you want to be different to every other reaction channel check out some of their more recent stuff which is just as good.

Yes! Ska! 🇬🇧

Keep reacting to songs with a nice bouncy beat
They're from the Camden area of North London.
1982/83 . Early eighties!! Loved this song in my school days.
North London accent, 1980. There some good suggestions, for other tracks. The prince, is one of my favourites. It's about Prince Buster. The man who gave Madness their name!
It came out in 1981 off the album ‘Absolutely’. Still got the album now. Got it for Xmas 81, when I was 12 👍🏻
1980*

Madness are from Camden, North London, the same place as Amy Winehouse.
SKA!
Love you guys. You have to check out Wings of a dove, and Bed and breakfast man. Two of Madness best songs.
1980s this came out I’m a madness fan and singer in a madness tribute band
Much much later that 11 years that video was just put on yourtube then... my dad listened to this when he was a kid and he is in his 50s. Also they are english
It was great being 12 in 1980 bouncing around to this song.🇬🇧🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 London's finest. Love from Glasgow Scotland UK 🇬🇧
They are from England so yes, they have a British accent.

1981 very voice and very good music
Love Them I Remember when they started out brilliant . Great Review Glad to See You Both Enjoying Their Music😊👍 Released in 1980.
This is from north London in the early eighties.
41 years old, YIKES!
Madness - House of Fun is a must-listen, from 1982.
madness was made in the 1980's, my dad love listening to these guys when he was a teen.
This is the real Madness. Our House was done by alien Madness taken over by record label moguls. The real Madness did one type of music - ska. Now check out A Message to You Rudie by The Specials.

Madness is from the UK. They're MAD. Pun intended.
This was around 1982!
The accent is a North London (Camden) accent.. very distinct from East London or where I live, South East London
British 60's to 80's bands nearly all seem to display variety in the style and mood of their music. To demonstrate try "It must
be love" by Madness.
1980,we wore white t shirts with a big M back then when we were kids in school.
Madness is the best
!980 is when they made this they made so many songs. Madness is a scar band a must see live.
My guess is: there was an overhead crane with a wire suspending the sax player.
your one lucky man, great reactions
The school is Quinton Kynaston london..
Remember this song,sure it was 1980 when it was released.
The 80's UK music scene was incredible. Growing up in Manchester amidst the explosion of indie bands along with Madness,The Jam,The Clash,The Specials and who can forget lip up fatty by bad manners absolute quality.
Love madness their one step beyond album is great from start to finish my girl, nightboat to Cairo,bed and breakfast man , and one step beyond all have videos
1980s I grew up with these guys
This is the song that inspired Gwen Stefani to form No Doubt with her brother
He does have an accent yeah
London I think
I absolutely love madness, keep it up!
Yes it's London, Camden Town....
