Watched it, damn lad, you crack me up, you are very entertaining to watch

This is definitely a band where you need to watch their official videos. They are so much fun, completely daft and very British.

[@1111nolanc]

Those vids often have such low volume you cant even jam.

The Nutty boys are brilliant every video is a 😆. The Queen didn’t even mind her gaff being used as a backdrop for a live Our House during the celebrations for her 90th birthday!

I went to a Madness concert in London, and it was in a pretty fancy theatre. At the break, ladies came around selling ice lollies (ice cream on a stick) from a tray that they wore around their necks! It was fantastic, and they played over two hours, and Elvis Costello came out as a surprise to sing on one song. Fun fact, I still have my concert sweatshirt!

[@ohsoedgy6888]

The video is fun tho...

[@claytoncourtney1309]

I can turn up the volume on my device and so can he. You can not get the same feeling watching a lyric video that you do when watching an actual video. Sorry but that is the truth. The video he missed because is something to actually react to. I can not beleive he actually said he was going to make it better.

'Baggy Trousers' was the song my cousin played to me in 1980! (The first Madness song I heard.) Will never forget that moment :D

it was always madness or adam ant at no1 haha

​@@JayveeTV I have said it on a few comments but I am disapointed you did that. You can turn up the volume and so can we but a lyric video, especially that one where it seemed like the person that made was more interested in the cool things they could do than actually showing the lyrics, is a step backward.

There is a new show for kids on the Disney channel called Owl House with the same music to sing along with 🤣

[@Lucy116]

This type of music is called 'Ska' Ska is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s and was the precursor to rocksteady and reggae. It combined elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues. Ska is characterized by a walking bass line accented with rhythms on the off beat.

[@formzino]

@King Of The Pipe also this particular song is not ska at all. It's just a pop song

[@David_Theisen]

Oh yeah react to the song Rock Steady by the Whispers!! It’s a great rockin’ song!!!

[@frosksdeadteeth5163]

@King Of The Pipe two-tone was the record label that all the ska revival bands such as The Specials, The Beat, The Selector etc used. Probably a reference to the black and white fashion of the era. Madness soon moved to Stiff records.

[@ChelseaPensioner-DJW]

@@frosksdeadteeth5163 Two Tone was the Specials Jerry Dammers own record label.

Madness are famed as the band that caused an earthquake: 4.2 on the Richter Scale. Their audience for an open air concert in 1992 in Finsbury Park in London was so large that when they began their song One Step Beyond the audience dancing caused several felt earthquakes and multi story tower blocks several miles away in Tottenham swayed, it cracked windows and a balcony. Several panicked people phoned the police thinking it was a bomb, and the police and Fire Service spent hours trying to find out what caused it. London is not considered seismically active. www.earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk/publications/annual_reports/1993_4th_annual_report.pdf
