[@robbie007]

I was 12 in 80. This song was an anthem at the school. Black uniform, hidden white Fred Perry shirt under blazer, white socks and porkpie hat.

I think most people under the age of 55 either is or has been a Madness fan at some point in their lives. I am 42 and still am.

Long live the Nutty Boys!!!!!!!!!!!

[@melodicsweepea]

@TherMoJo Agreed. A lot of their melodies are very complex with several key changes and played very quickly. Like them or not, they were talented musicians who wrote crisp music.

[@gazwilwah]

Yeah Madness used to appear on Barney, Suggs was actually in the Barney suit one time.

[@mazzerness]
