Boasting perhaps the most quintessentially English beginning to any song, Madness's 'Driving In My Car' brings to mind the opening credits of classic British '70s TV sitcom Are You Being Served. The stand-alone single came out in 1982, spending eight weeks in the UK chart and peaking at #4. The song documents the joys and tribulations of driving in the Maddiemobile, the 1958 Morris Minor featured here.
Lyrics:
I've been driving in my car
It's not quite a Jaguar
I bought it in Primrose Hill
From a bloke from Brazil
It was made in fifty-nine
In a factory by the Tyne
It says Morris on the door
The GPO owned it before
I drive in it for my job
The governor calls me a slob
But I don't really care
Give me some gas and the open air
It's a bit old but it's mine
I mend it in my spare time
Just last week I changed the oil
The rocker valves and the coil
Just last week I changed the oil
Last week it went 'round the clock
I also heard a little knock
I dented somebody's fender
He learned not to park on a bender, ha ha ha
I've been driving in my car
And it don't look much but I've been far
I drive up to Muswell Hill
I've even been to Selsey Bill
I drove along the A45
I had her up to fifty-eight
This copper stopped me the other day
"You're mistaken, " what could I say?
The tires were a little worn
They were ok, I could have sworn
I like driving in my car
I'm satisfied I've got this far
I like driving in my car
It don't look much but I've been far
I like driving in my car
Even with a flat tire
I like driving in my car
It's not quite a Jaguar
I like driving in my car
I'm satisfied I've got this far

Madness are a perfect musical representation of British humour. It's dry, it's a bit menacing, but it's so so so good.
Oh yes. The one and only thing my dad ever gave me was a love for Madness and for that at least I am grateful.
I was on holiday in the UK in the early 1980s - this song was on the radio pretty often and when i got back to Germany i went to my record store to get it. They had never heard of Madness before and no idea where to get the single. But then the owner of the store showed up and promised to order it from the UK for me if i'd be willing to pay for the postage. I did so and just about three weeks later - and a dozen visits to that store - my single vinyl finally arrived. Was probably the priciest single i ever bought (~ 20 Deutschmarks). But on the next party i played this song and everybody liked it - although nobody knew Madness back then. Just a year later "Our House" aso. was heard everywhere - and Madness was the new hot shit. But i was probably one of the (if not THE) first person(s) in Germany who bought the "Driving in my Car" single.
I just bought this 12inch single (it's 12inches but actually just a short 7inch version on it) in a second hand store. I love it. and i think I paid more than it's probably worth but still worth it. Thanks for writing your story about it.
Great story
@- Gutenberg targ
Well now you know what it was like to attempt to buy a Beatles single in the UK in 1961 when all they had was "Tony Sheridan and the Beat Brothers"
That’s quite lucky
The older I get, the more I feel privileged to have been able to witness such a period in music history.
Me to. But I regret I did not recognized it well enough when I was in the middle of it. It was normal back than. Now I realize how fantastic it was.
All my friends say I'm weird for liking madness,
But.... THEY'RE AWESOME
Ur not
they're the weird ones for not appreciating great music..
Thats True
I mean there awesome, not that your weird
Clearly they have covid BC they have no taste in good music
110% pure British excellence
1000% complete and utter Madness.
Preach!!
Brilliant. 🙏 respectful
1:55 Fun Boy Three trying to hitch hike to Coventry...
and Terry Hall is SMILING!!😊
Love the Mad Boys from Camden Town!
Thanks for posting... 🚗💥
Ohhh!
I didn't realise it was them!
@@Mortthemoose Lynval, Terry and Neville 🏆🏆🏆
I may be getting old, but I was so lucky that Madness, The Specials, Duran Duran, Ultravox and many other great bands were part of my late teens and well into my twenties.
Very well said, same here. 53 from Malta
I nearly went bankrupt trying to purchase all the great music of then. Great bands we were spoilt with the endless list of options
im jelouse i was a toddler in the 80s but wow british bands rocked the clash the specials madness ect.ect. truly great moment to be a teen
Same but I'm only approaching 20... Absolute 80s got me hooked and now I can't stop
Five bonus points for the Fun Boy Three cameo.
The record seller at the start was my mate Sean, who we buried today 2nd July 2018. RIP Brother sadly missed
R.I.P. Sean you'll be selling records in heaven now
im so sorry for your loss :(
Dat Guy legend
Dat Guy x
Respect 😎👌
1:03 goddamn that melody is criminally short
Sooooooo true :)
My favorite part of the song. Those few seconds are bliss in my ears
This!
Madness has songs about everything, Driving in a car, waking up, going to work, staying in a bed and breakfast, living in a house etc.
Don't forget buying condoms.
Madness are so funny, they even raised a bright smile on Terry Hall's face !
What’s funny about this shit?
they'd just had a number one so their boss ordered them to record 'anything' to put out as a single to keep the momentum going. Barso sat at the piano and this was the result
Wow!
Genius!
I think the line "In a factory by the Tyne" is a reference to the car been built like a tank, Tanks were the only vehicles built next to the Tyne in 1959.
@Zak Jansen Cheers
He was referring to the women...
Just like my ol civic
Still are. Built in the vicars factory down in scotchee
Terry Hall trying to hitchhike to Coventry killed me 🤣🤣
The English have no shortage of creativity and talents.
Madness is just one example!
My Daughter just got her driver's licence, and then I remembered this song, sooooo fun. About time to pass it on to the next generation 🙂
I’VE BEEN DRIVING IN MY CAR LISTENING TO JEREMY CLARKSON
Came here to say this. 😂
Good one mate
Get a life you helmet & Good luck with your self driving electric car in 8 years.
@@nickieglazer33 cry
I went on the internet today, and I found this.
This is one of the catchiest songs I've heard in my life
Honestly… madness have such good songs
@@CalvesFanatic True I've listened to more of their catalog since I posted this, lol
Agreed, same with some other songs, lovestruck and shut up are recommended by me
My favourite bit of the video is when the car stops beside the band Fun Boy Three. They are trying to cadge a lift but Suggs drives off leaving them gobsmacked on the pavement. I love Madness videos and always hoped that the video would be shown on TOTP.
This video was shown on TOTP once. (I was 11 and now I am 51.)
RIP Terry Hall who had a cameo in the video (along with the rest of the fun boy 3) as the hitchhikers 😔😔
Madness just had the best music videos! Them messing around with silly props .. love it :)
+Lindsay Davis Bring back the 80s and the props!!!
I was at a music restaurant yesterday and they were doing a raffle. When this guy who was in a mobility scooter won he started doing a victory lap and the guys played this song.
Good old madness!
what the hell is a music restaurant and why are they holding raffles there
😂😂👌🏼😉
😁🤣Nice one
@@Rascarrr
Hard Rock Cafe?
Madness are my kind of band
mine to
+sonic2kk NO way!!! They are just my type ;)
+Diva Nino omg same!!!!
Same here
So glad I caught these chaps live about 6 years ago! They were so energetic for dudes in their 60's!
I love Madness because they are my kind of guys I would like to hang out with. Funny, beautiful guys and good music. ❤❤❤
Fun Boy 3 have a cameo roll in this video. RIP Terry Hall. Coventry's finest singer.
Even after 40 years great to see the Fun Boy Three lol
Fun Boy Three trying to get to Coventry lol (first time I have seen Terry Hall smiling)
MegaJay70 I was about to say the Specials but you're right, it's Fun Boy Three! lol
I thought the sign said 'Cemetery'.
Madness still the best, this reminds me of my first car...sand coloured 1977 mini
we had the best bands and music
One of best songs ever made
One of the better bands of the 80s, catchy tunes, good fun and way above the shite of today
1:55: That's the Fun Boy Three (Lynval Golding, Terry Hall and Neville Staple) - formerly of The Specials - trying to hitch a lift to Coventry!
I remember waiting for the next madness vid they were the best ever, not like today when its all about posing and looking like a model, fun fun fun was the intention and god did they deliver
First record I bought with my own money as a kid, seen them a couple of years back in the Odyssey Belfast and can honestly say it was an absolute mental night.... loved it
!!!
I took my postal driver training and certification today & cranked this as I owned the track
The one and only MADNESS. Simply out of this world creativity. Uniquely MAD. Awesome!
Madness By far 1 of the many great British bands and that got the honor to perform for the queen. Sorry but we have some of the greatest bands ever from UK dont like then tought
This would look so good remastered
2:07 Shoutout to the guy on the side of the road witnessing history not knowing what was going on
This song was written in about 5 minutes. Dave Robinson (The head of Stiff Records) asked Madness to write something quick to cash in on the success of House Of Fun which had just reached number 1 and Complete Madness was in the top 10 aswell. Great song, great video and a great band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! New album out in december!!!!!!!!!!!!!
don't believe you
bro made a banger of a song in a 5 minute greed rush from the record label. yeah it's unsurprising that it's hard to believe
Even though the main melody and idea is simple a lot of time and production went into making and arranging all the sound parts involved. This is one of those that I always return to listen because it makes me happy. Such a favourite.
@@frankyw8803 So I, the very unusual and dissonant chord progression is far from simple, its on the cusp of being cacophonic but does work, it sounds as if some inner theme of some Frank Zappa music !
When I pine for the 80s, I put stuff like this on to remember it wasn't that great.
ska aint dead, it just waiting for the rest of ya ta catch up
My brothers gonna start one when he's older he gonna be an comedian and film wirter
Very true oi oi 😎
@@JPowell1997 he'll need a typewirter if he's gunna wirte films.
Simply amazing! I can hear the influance in Oingo Boingo, and EVERYTHING Elfman has done.
when i get a car im gonna sing this
togstysryyg
exactly, now thats what I'm talking about
same
Just Be CAREFULL!.. ;-)
Did you get your get your car?
Just realized the guys hitchhiking are Lynval Golding, Terry Hall and Neville Staple...
I have been a huge fan of Madness, they remind me of a bunch of British TV shows.
Growing up in the 80's my Dad recorded every single Madness video ever played on Top of the Pops. I still have that video today but can't watch it as we no longer have VCR's. :-( We grew up alongside the A45 - I learned to drive on it.
Madness = absolute legends and I'm proud to have grown up listening to them. Prouder still to hear my 17yr daughter and 15yr old son enjoy their music too!
Love the nutty musical two tone sound of Madness
I think it's a rite of passage as a British person first driving their car after passing their test to play this max volume. Right up there after going through the maccies drive-thru with the car loaded with mates. :3
My happy memory of my childhood brother xxx
"The bloke from Brazil" on this video is actually wearing a Swedish National team jersey. Greetings from Brazil
😂😂😂
swietny videoclip oraz super piosenka oraz wspanialy zespol madness
Love this song brings a smile to my face every time hee hee.
2:00 me and the boys driving to area 51
2:18 me and the boys getting found out
Chringe
I first saw this song on a repeat of top of the pops from 1982 on bbc i player which was shown on bbc four
such a clever song...like most of the one's written by madness
R.I.P. Terry Hall (1min 55 secs)
I can imagine if top gear used that as their intro
I get that reference ;)
"I've been driving in my car, listening to Jeremy Clarkson..." That jingle used to be my alarm sound in the mornings lmao
I like driving in my car!
And it don't look much but I've been far!
Took a trip to Minnesota!
In my shiny red Toyota!
I drive up to Muswell Hill!
In my merry Oldsmobile!
My dad was singing this in our car (which is a Jaguar) and instead of saying "it's not quite a Jaguar" he said "it's quite a Jaguar!" 😂😂
Sophermcgrofer101 my mans got a Mini Cooper so she can sing this😂
He probably bought it just so he could sing that 😂
Great story dipshit
Should have said it is indeed a jaguar
SmolestSoph ii
Listening this beautiful song of the band Madness!
"We've been driving in our car, Honda! City!
Takes us near and takes us far, Honda! City!
We bought it in Tokyo, Honda! City!
It was made in '83!"
Such a clever song
love it
Love Fun Boy 3 with the Coventry sign

Masterpiece as usual
Here's an old favourite...

Maggie Waldren XXX
the best band ever !
I just bought my first car , ford fiesta 2000 and it made me think of this song lol
I half recognize a few places in my Town .
i really love how the instrumental bit at 1:03 sounds, i wish it was longer lol
Me too! ...
samee
Special for me as our family car was a Morris and we went far
I was a kid and young teen during the second British Invasion. So many New Wave and ska bands to love that I couldn't possibly buy all their records (and was too young for shows). I really wish Madness had gotten more airplay in America, because I had no idea just how brilliant and successful they were! (Then again, I'm having a great time seeing these videos for the first time.)
WE’RE DRIVING ALONG THE ‘45 WITH THIS ONE!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I have always loved this crazy song , with all the sound effects. I drive a Morris 1300, 1973. I live on Hayling Island, so that's not far from Selsey Bill!
I love it i love it and I am ten
Ha! Never noticed that they like to show a trumpet played when a sax is in the song, and vice versa.
Awesome
My dad had the pleasure of working on this car that was in the video! It was done by Charles Ware Morris minor centre, with the Morris minor being the car in the video
Wow
Does the car still exist?
Classic.
I'll never understand why this was one of my favourite songs growing up.... But I accept it!
When I drove up to Muswell Hill for the first time in my old Micra, I felt like I'd really made it :D
You can bet that when I get my first car this will be the first song played in it
Hilarious complete hilarious
This just has a “The young ones” feel to it lol it’s like a scene from the series lol
I was trying to drink my coffee while watching the video...I couldn't!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Never heard this one over in the States so it's a "new old" song for me. Caught it on Richard Blade's "Magnificent 7 Monday" show on SiriusXM First Wave. Can't believe I missed this but enjoying in the best year ever.
year later, I stumbled onto the page as well. To a certain extent, this is how I feel with my car. A 2015 closing in on 150k miles and still runs as good as new.
this makes flippin laugh
This is the only song to play on the way down to Selsey Bill. I often regret not having a bicycle bell fitted to my steering wheel to warn other road users. Sweet nostalgia for a gentler time when pop music was sheer fun, and before it became pretentious or 'in your face'.
.....and on the road to Muswell Hill.....
There is only 1 Madness...
Madness; British music perfection 👌
This should have been in Herbie: Fully Loaded. I know silly old Lindsay Lohan and the fantastic band Madness would have been against it, but the song, meaning and lyrics fit that fantastic movie perfectly! 😊
Been listening to this song and a few other madness songs for 6 years. They’re not getting old
Hey yo it’s been 7 months and I’m still here lmao
Hey yo it’s been 7 more months and it’s still not getting old
@@aaronflorian8150 did it get old yet
this is the most English thing ive ever seen :D
I’ve been drinking in my car
Hang on, is that Fun Boy Three? I have NEVER noticed that before.
I think Elfman was listening to this when he wrote the Simpsons theme
Morris Minor on a trailer and the Madness bunch in baggy trousers ... memories ! 🤔
