Madness Selection (Our House + Baggy Trousers). Ashtyn&Jon REACTION

The purpose of me requesting they react to songs like these is just to expose them to music they may or may not have heard before, to expand their horizons and to sate my curiosity over whether they will like them or not. As such I don't really care about likes/dislikes on these video postings or even the popularity of my channel or theirs for that matter.
Also nothing is monetized on my channel so I make no money from posting them, they do these for me and I just post them here in case other people are curious what they think of these songs too after they send me them and I have watched them myself. As mentioned this is not their channel, if you wish to visit their channel it can be found listed below.

People don't give them enough credit, there generally seen as a joke band or just a gimmick. They had some beautiful songs and some really important ones too most notably Embarrassment

Bed and Breakfast man was the 1st Madness song I heard in 1979 I was 10 years old and iv been a big fan still to this day. Love all SKA bands. The specials- Badmanners - The English Beat- The bodysnatchers - The selector.

[@JoeScottish]

Forcing Americans to watch good 40 year old music from the UK isnt fair...... play them some bland Journey or Taylor Swift song, and dont make them have to think...

[@achloist]

Baggy Trousers is a very british song. I was a schoolboy when the song came out, and it was very relatable in every lyric. I love it.

Another 80s classic which if you lived in the uk at that time would have heard it played on the radio 24/7 ...it has a feel good factor about it and very impressed to see Americans appreciating it too. What us 80s fans need is a time machine to go back to when music seemed better than today even if that makes me sound like my parents/grandparents who would say the same thing about the music they listened to in the 40s-70s.

[@AnglOsAxOn2]

Hello Enigma. Just watched your video on Madness which was good :) Just wanted to add my to pence if I may. Our house was about very poor people, fathers who went to work on low pay mothers who struggled. Same old story all over the world. Baggy trousers, we English do seem to like to fight each other, its historic I guess. At the end of a School term the local schools would meet and fight each other, it was just a rule. They would fight in school obviously, but the fight against an opposing school was a necessity. This is what Baggy trousers was about, may not translate well to you Americans as you all had a different upbringing obviously.

[@Isleofskye]

All depends, my friend. I went to Secondary School at The Oval near Brixton from 1965-71 and hardly ever remember any fights though it was a Grammar School. When we used to play after school in the local park though you often had The Secondary Modern Boys want to play us, mainly to kick us. :) Lovely lads. One day they came to our school and our Latin Teacher stepped in. I would not mind but in our school, it was 75% Working Class kids...

[@louischallener5865]

To be honest,I didnt like the recent songs presented here that much,but this(Our House ) was in my view,worth watching and checking out..its an old classic,not fantastic,but catchy in its own way and thereby,pleasant to spend time watching. Nice to see the cooperation between Ashtyn/jon and Enigma going about again..

[@dragoonlordz]

That's how the cookie crumbles sometimes unfortunately because the whole point of me making these requests is to expose them to lots of different music across many genres and time periods so naturally people who have a preference of their own won't be as interested in all the ones I select. There are one or two genres of music that both myself and they hate so I won't pick those types as I don't care to see their reactions to those ones and they don't want to listen those ones either...outside of that I try to keep the selection quite broad and spanning many decades and types of music but due to that not every song or artist is going to be of interest to everyone.

This is from the 80's, my mid childhood and two tone ska era. With bands like The Beat and Selector, and a song you might like from a band called Bad Manners. Return of the Ugly. And I'm glad you two don't really get baggy trousers, because you aren't meant to.

In my view Ashtyn and Jon are one of the more interesting youtube reactors out there,and since they dont do music reactions anymore on their own channel this is the only place where its possible to see them do that. Hopefully it can give both Enigma and Ashtyn/Jon more recognition on their respective channels,even though it was noted above here that it wasnt a priority.

[@dragoonlordz]

There is one other channel I know of which hosts mainstream music reactions from Ashtyn and Jon, the channel is called "VadersPetPig" but he only has four song reactions on there from Ashtyn and Jon. Three of those are Florence + The Machine songs and one is a Lorde song. If there are any other channels with same type of content featuring Ashtyn and Jon reacting to mainstream music I haven't come across it personally.
