Baggy Trousers name is due to the fact that us working class kids always wore hand me downs from our elder siblings so clothes were usually a few sizes too big. "You'll grow into em' " I remember hearing regularly ;)
I lived that here in the states
That's why I became a transvestite... better than admitting they were my older sister's clothes!
@@lucilledelorme lol
You are right. I remember quite well. We were three brothers and three sisters. That stuff hat a long way to go. Each sibling on the end of ladder - well -was effed.
Yup that's right....my brother got my seconds.....I'm 5.11 he's 5.4...hahaha
Here in the UK if your at a party or a wedding madness are the only band all the men will get up and dance to
oasis says hello
@@Sam-md9nw Exactly, Oasis number 1 before Madness
No I agree the only band getting uncles on the floor is Madness. For the women it's Abba Dancing Queen.
@@marilynseptember21 Dancing to Oasis?? The most leaden rhythm section ever? I think not...
@@lucie4185 yes Madness's is the mans jam everytime I'm at a party or a wedding all the men get up doing the shugz dance lol and again I agree with Abba but in my case its footloose!! Lol
Madness spent more time the UK charts during the 1980's than any other band.
And yet just a single No. 1!
@@FightingTorque411 Should have been 2 number one's with Wings of a Dove but UB40 beat them to the number 1 spot with Red Red Wine
Lee flying was really iconic at the time. Still going and still brilliant. More madness reactions please
@@FightingTorque411 scandalous
@@pauloshaughnessy1280 well not a bad song to lose out to (says the Brummie whose mother knew UB40 as Billys Bar was her local as well) Still love Madness they make songs you just cant sit still to you HAVE to get up and move
Madness are seriously underrated - and I am as guilty as anyone. They know how to have fun, don't take themselves seriously, and sacrifice the perfect for the popular, but they have point to make and they make it beautifully, in their own unique way. Suggs is rightly regarded as a national treasure.
Hardly think Madness are underrated? What makes you think this?
Underated?
Have you not heard of Madfest or their constant sell-outs on tour???
Underrated? I’m from Detroit and even I know that Madness is HUGE in the UK and here in the states. Trust me. A lot of people have their songs on their playlists. They listen to it by themselves but their on there
This the British school experience in a song
Maybe from several decades ago but not anymore.
Do the teachers in England still go to the pub for “lunch”?
@@jimmymac4559 for liquid courage to face 5th period?
Definitely was in 1979, in my school the Prefects had to wear gowns over their uniforms during break times. I remember going to the pub with the teachers at lunchtime when I was in the 6th Form.
@@jimmymac4559 after a few thousand years of pubs our cuoture nobidy gies to the pub , at any time today , give you an idea of the putrid mess we are in thanks to Bill Gates & Boris criminals
Madness-It Must Be Love Madness-embarrassment Madness-house of fun
"It Must Be Love" is a really good one.
House of fun
When house of fun came out, I remember recording it on TOTP and watching it on loop so many times that the old man eventually came into the living room and told me to turn it off now
Also the original it must be love by labi siffre is great
@@suzannafrazer1374 and Labi Siffre is actually in the Madness video, playing a violin! I love both versions.
We REEEEALLY missed out in the States. "Our House" (1982/US#7, UK#5) was their only hit over here, so most folks think of them as a one-hit-wonder. In the UK they were a Pop institution, with 17 Top10 hits (and more than half of those were in the Top5). They had their patented Circus-Ska "nutty monster sound" but they also had an air of bittersweet nostalgia that ran through the best of their work too, like in this song and in "Our House" where they are remembering a hardscrabble, impoverished, almost Dickensian childhood romantically and wistfully.
You should also react to "My Girl" (1980/UK#3), "House of Fun" (1982/UK#1), "Embarrassment" (1980/UK#4), "Grey Day" (1981/UK#4), and "It Must Be Love" (1981/US#33, UK#4) which actually did crack the US Top40. It was a cover, but they totally made it their own.
Spot on analysis 👌
Quintessentially London/British
This is true and I'm glad I spent part of my youth outside of the US. I got to know a wider variety of music genres and I got to hear about artists that weren't quite big in the US but were big abroad.
Lovestruck
Glad you love our 'nutty boys ' just as much as we still do..no group came near them in their genre..
They took Jamaican Ska music and applied it to their own experience. As a black kid who used to listen to his dad's ska and reggae records as a kid and growing up in a predominantly white environment this band and music was manna from heaven. Went to see them perform in 2019. Still loving the madness of the energetic vibes
Night Boat to Cairo is one of their best songs. Love everything Madness has ever done
Great song but the tribute to the originator of Ska Prince Buster is still their first and best ua-cam.com/video/Rw3-KA5GiKg/v-deo.html
Suggs, the lead singer is an absolute gentleman.
He is rather pleasing to the eye too!! 😉😉😉
Absolutely agree, they used to record in a small studio down the 'Cally' (Caledonian Road, Islington in North London) just up the road from where I lived and I'd often see them all piling out when I took my kids to the sweet shop...they were just a great bunch of lads, joking about and cheerful, obviously all good mates and enjoying life, Suggs would always smile and nod if you caught his eye...nice bloke.
See if you can get his This is your life programme..i watched it again a few months ago on UA-cam and you will all see what a quiet spoken family man he is..in fact the whole group are the same..never forgotten their roots..
I remember that back in the mid 80’s when Madonna arrived in the U.K. ( she had chart success here first ) Some time after Suggs said they were on a show and she asked him on a date and he turned her down.
@@leewot he was and is still happily married to his childhood sweetheart..
I can't believe your doing this song. I haven't heard this in 25yrs.
I used to love this when I was a child
Do the teachers in England still go to the pub for “lunch”?
@@jimmymac4559 good question 🤔
I don't know but if I had to guess I would say yes 🍻
@@jimmymac4559 Not anymore, it used to be a regular thing not just for teachers but a lot of workers would have a liquid lunch back in the day.
I heard it on the radio two days ago. Still gets played every few months.
well George you are just going to have to get back into Madness via UA-cam, lots of other songs of theirs just as good or even better :)
I was so into SKA! ( and the school looks just like the one I went to!)
It’s no wonder they were called “ the nutty boys!”
Madness made this record as an antidote to Pink Floyd’s depressing, anti school, brick in the wall.
wow that's so cool!!
I love both
Its why they're called Madness! LOL One of the best bands of the eighties! Fast, catchy and a little anti-establishment! Love 'em!
Anti establishment????? Haven't you seen them play at Buckingham Palace for the Queen? 😂😂😂😂
I really like their song, "Night Boat To Cairo"
The dog really made the video.
THIS - their best song IMO
I was 14 when this song was out. And yes, it was exactly about school life as I was experiencing it.
Pink Floyd’s another brick in the wall was posh gits moaning about having a privileged education, this was Madness’s answer, a school experience more in tune with the majority of kids.
‘House of Fun’ and ‘It Must Be Love’ (was their first US hit) are also awesome songs.
Must Be Love is a cover version, original by Labi Siffre.
A song guaranteed to get the guys up dancing . Guaranteed 😁😁
Suggs has said that this was his reaction to Pink Floyd 's "Another Brick in the Wall".
I've also heard that. Feels like a class thing - "no school's not some massive evil indoctrination conspiracy, it's just a laugh, you posh gits"
The best song of any wedding here in the uk!! Guaranteed to get all the dads dancing 😂🤣
The smile on this dude's face says it all. Madness are timeless, high energy happiness.
They were brilliant live and still going now
I never heard of this band, but the song was good and I loved the flying musicians. Thanks for playing this video. I'm going to have to check out more of their songs.
SKA'ed for life.
Haha! 😆
Madness wasn't Ska, it was 'Nutty'. Rather like Pink Floyd is to Prog, Madness make the same noises as Ska but just don't fit into the mould. :)
“Madness are an English ska band from Camden Town, North London, who formed in 1976. One of the most prominent bands of the late 1970s and early 1980s two-tone ska revival, they continue to perform with six of the seven members of their original line-up.” Wikipedia
@@christinechin1909 I was being kind'a facetious but there we go.
Nice pun!
Helps to know that in the UK the word "mad" usually means "crazy", unlike the US where is means "angry" ("cross" is the word used in the UK the way we use "mad"). So Madness means craziness! Explains a lot about the band.
Peace from SF
Always puts a smile on my face. My early high school days. School dances and just going nuts to this with friends.😁👍🎶
Yay Madness! If you want a slightly different speed try Night Boat to Cairo or It Must Be Love
One of the greatest bands this world has ever produced. The lyrics to their songs sometimes have a dark undertone that's opposed to the upbeat music. They've spread nothing but love and happiness throughout their long career.
You really need to listen to Ian Dury & The Blockheads "Sex Drugs & Rock n Roll! Or Hit Me With Your Rythm Stick. Both 1977 songs.
Not forgetting 'Sweet Gene Vincent'.
Or Sweet Gene Vincent.
Or mischief another great song
Preferably the version of Sex on the Live Stiffs Live album.
Its 4.30am here in the UK and my husband Terry and I just watched this video, we both enjoy Madness lol. Your reactions were fantastic sweetheart, I started chuckling the moment the music started as I knew what fun we would be having watching this great band of happy gentlemen. Terry laughed with me and we both really enjoyed watching you and trying to watch the video. Take care and stay safe please my friends God bless you all love and hugs and Terry UK
House of Fun and Our house are also classics from Madness
Thanks so much, you took me 40 years back when I was a Ska dancer
Madness were the first band i fell in love with, they were my earliest musical influence. A truly brilliant song by them is "Grey Day".
Madness: they were supercool! Another suggestion: "The Irish Rover" by The Dubliners with The Pogues ( it will make you groove and you will have a feeling like going to the dentist would be a great idea)...and you wonder why smoking, drinking and coughing while singing a song isn't popular anymore..haha
If moving away from Madness (and there is still loads to check out), then ian Dury and the Blockheads, that covered a similar London Pub/Club Scene
As a bass player of over 10 years, this will forever be my top favorite bassline in any song I’ve heard
This sums up my working class school time in the eighties.
And this just raised you one notch cooler on the cooler-than-thou scale. Level up mate!
I used to go to discos and when djs put Madness the girls stoped dancing & we toke their place breaking everything with the logical consecuences hahah ( Im 53 by the way ) Cheers from Argentina
I saw these guys live back in 1992. When they performed this, the saxophonist 'floated' around the stage. Great performance, was an amazing concert!
This is my childhood right there 🥳🥳🥳
You have to hear "Driving in my Car" by this band. Class video mate.
...it may not be a Jag-u-ar...
HONDA. CITY.
I literally wore "baggy trousers" in school. I had four older brothers and got their hand-me-downs. I wore huge flared trousers with turn ups to school.
Saw these guys at Clapham Common, London a few years back, and the atmosphere was MENTAL!! 🙌🏽
Reading your mention of Clapham reminds me of one of my favourite British bands and songs, .. Squeeze ( called UK Squeeze here in Australia ) and their song "Up The Junction", with the line "I never thought it would happen with me and the girl from Clapham" .. They had so many masterpieces, IMHO .. Wayne
Thanks for reacting to Madness. They never got as popular here in America as they should have.
Thank you for sharing . Fun , fun , fun . Here in Britain we had such fantastic different music in the 70s and 80s and entertained with fun or new unique videos .especially the 80s we had such a mix bag of music sometimes the videos didn’t even match the song lol. But madness always entertained us without the need for elaborate sets .💛
Madness are still fantastic to see live. Great family fun with all ages there having just a great time
I love these yanks hearing our music for the first time. What a treat. Some of it, they must think we were bonkers. 👍
Madness - Wings Of A Dove.
One of their best.
Madness we're brilliant because they wrote and sung about the life experiences, we all at the time, were all having and sharing!!
We had another secondary school over the road and every dinner time and after school we used to fight lol, it was proper rough back then! Happy days and yes we wore baggy trousers for the record!
✌🏻♥️✊🏴🎧☀️
I found you on TikTok thought I would come here. Madness were a band I loved when I was teenager. I seen them live twice in concert in Aberdeen Scotland 🏴
I love Madness!!!
There were a couple of commercials back in the 80s that sampled this for their jingo. It might have been kids products or toys but I distinctly remember the tune and I knew it was from this song.
Suggs (the lead singer) came to my home town once and he sang all evening in the hotels for the guests for free. I wasn't there but it sounded like it was fun!
Madness it must be love, my girl, embarrassment, classic songs. If you get chance, please listen 👍🎉
Oh Baggy Trousers! What an anthem!
This came out when I was 10 years old, growing up in East London. Madness were the first group I had a poster of on my wall! All us kids loved this song! Never saw the video as a kid, only seeing it now as a 50 year old!
Once, on the way to school, I saw Buster Bloodvessel, lead singer of Bad Manners. Maybe you would enjoy Lip Up Fatty!
Or Ghost Town by The Specials. As someone else wrote in the comments, SKA’d for life!
Edit: just saw your reaction video to Ghost Town! That was London in 1981!
Me and my mates were skinheads grew up on this, the specials, bad manners, old ska the israelites Desmond dekker, Susan beware of the devil the body snatchers the selecter, I miss those days miss my old friends too♥️
Madness gigs were brilliant! Saw them with The Selecter AND The Specials. 2 Tone forever!
You had to go to school in England in the '70s to really get this song.
Absolutely massive in the UK in the 80s 90s I loved them. I used to think I was Suggs.
All Madness clips are about fun, joy and positivity. There is enough bad stuff in the world and these guys single-handedly re-dress the balance.
Is it any wonder they are national treasures in the UK!
Yes i remember being at school in north london back in 1980 and seeing members of Madness walking about in Kentish Town and Camden .sometimes star struck aswell lol
I haven't seen anyone in the comments mention the ultimate Madness skanking song.... One Step Beyond.
All thier songs and videos are first class, in the UK madness songs gets most men dancing at a party. When they brought a new song out we all wanted to know what the video was gonna look like, they were all little film masterpieces.
Madness are great fun. Well worth your time Jovaughn
This song is completely iconic in the UK, because it just perfectly describes the school experience over here, at least until the mid-'80s when caning was finally ended as a punishment. Kids instantly love it, and you'll get young teenagers singing the song together even though the song came out 40 years ago.
The smile on your face watching this is magic, that's what music should be about fun and uplifting
During the filming of the video They left the sax player hanging from the crane and went to the pub😁 first band I was ever into... seen them live a few times.... great show...
Lee Thompson (Kix)
The “Nutty Boys”! Here in the US they were not as well known. Love this band. “ Shut Up” is one of my favorites...great video too!
They are just a good fun band. I’ve seen them live and they are amazing.
You were right it WAS about them wearing baggy trousers because as money was so tight you always wore the 'hand ne downs ' from your older siblings or IF they were new they'd be sizes bigger so you could GROW INTO THEM.. god did we hate that phrase !!
My teenage daughter at the time would go to specific clubs here in the U.S to dance Ska. This band played on MTV.
Madness were such a lot of fun. I saw them at the Lyceum in London in about 1982 and had a great evening.
Never was there a name of a band so apt.
These guys was just a laugh from start to finish. CRAZY!
I was a very young child when these songs were on the radio and TV, brings back very old memories. We all still listen to them from time to time, fun vibes for the most part from Madness.
I've got a ticket for their next show in Glasgow. Madness did songs that a first listen to the music sound quite upbeat and catchy. But when you really listen to the lyrics they touched on some serious and dark subjects. Like for eg in Cardiac Arrest.
I'm from Colombia and i love Madness almost all their songs. Overdone, Swan lake, the Prince, Close Escape, Etc
I Love their video's, during a break while making this one the guy flying around was left hanging over some spiked railings and he wasn't happy about it! And they were such amazing musicians!!
Brilliant band, heavily Ska influenced with a fun way of putting across serious social commentary.
ie Embarrasment
@@Tanzadog1 there's loads, Cardiac Arrest, My Girl, Michael Caine to name a few. Even some of the more jokey ones like House of Fun and Our House have strong messages.
In the early eighties mixed relationships were regarded taboo, they wrote a song "embarrassment" one of the band members sisters started dating a black person, they chronicled the situation in this tune.
I don't know anyone who doesn't like this track. An absolute classic in British music.
I went to an amature MMA fight before lockdown in Wolverhampton UK, and all of the walk out music was Grime, Trap or Drill. A fighter had this as his walk out track, and the place went nuts for 30 seconds.
All of these kids ( I'm in my 40's ) jumping up and down to a song that is 40 years old, made me smile. You can hear why people into Rap and Grime appreciate this song.
I'm 50 now and this song is one of my anthems from my childhood growing up in South London.
And yes, I was happily singing along with a great big smile on my face!😃
It must be love is one of their greatest songs,in the eighty's we would stop drinking in the pub and sing it together, brilliant times
I grew up listening to this group and the whole ska two tone era. White socks, DM loafers and Fred Perry’s. Fun times
They were a religion in my tough school in South London ..every lyric is true....
Glad you did some madness......loved these guys .. saw them at the Birmingham odeon new street in uk back in the 80s... happy happy days
Madness, madness, they call it madness. Wings of a dove please.
I was at school in the late 70's and 80's and that was the best time great genre of music great times at school then the end of the 80's and both started their spiral downwards. So so glad I was at school in them days
I’ve just discovered your channel and enjoyed reminiscing about my youth while you’re hearing these songs for the first time!
House of Fun, also by Madness is another fun track all about a boy going to the chemist (pharmacy in American) to buy his first condoms on his 16th birthday! Listen out for all the slang names for them!!
Love madness ...you need a lot of energy to dance to their songs brings back lots of good memories of great times x
Loved , "Our House"--this one is new to me ...what a great story teller
Madness is just pure fun. Speaking of which, try "House of Fun."
The lads did the 2012 Olympic closing ceremony playing Our House and the sax player flew around for that also
I bought their One Step Beyond LP after seeing them on a Spanish TV pop programme, it was fun at first sight LOL. Madness’s crowning glory must undeniably be performing “Our House” on the roof of Buckingham Palace for HM the Queen’s Diamond (I think) Jubilee.
My childhood in the UK was Madness my first song ever heard by them as a 6 year old been a fan ever since nearly 41 years later some great hits in the early 1980's
Absolutely love this their songs always make you smile and wanna dance
Madness was my first concert EVER. We were up dancing on the seats at the Palais Theatre here in Melbourne skaaing it up all over the place. It was absolutely SICK. I saw them again at Festival Hall here in Melbs again in 2017 and we boogied our arses off again. They're soooo good! And my man... you oughta count yourself VERY LUCKY, and I'm VERY jealous, as Madness are touring in the US in April. Get yourself along to one of them, you won't regret it! www.livenation.com.au/artist/madness-tickets/
The band, through their songs represented the social climate, by singing baggy trousers was a trend at the time to wear prior to this the trend was wearing drain pipe trousers, where baggy ones were conserned, the more buttons down the side the more cool you were.... I miss those days.
LOVE that you're digging into the GOOD ol' days!
Gry Night Boat to Cairo - my favourite
