Madness - Wings Of A Dove (A Celebratory Song)

One of the funniest videos from the Nutty Boys

[@bokesnmokes]

I believe that my neighbors in San Diego had this song memorized back in the '80s I played it so much

[@mousehound35]

No matter what I am doing, or how I am feeling - I hear this and smile. A great song.

[@altv1969]

Madness the greatest of the great my favourite group of all time,great songs great lyrics great videos and never take themselves seriously pure genius

[@230861304]

Even though I'm heavily into Hip Hop (since '85')... I will never stop lovin Madness, especially this tune...

[@potato73]

If this was out now it'd be at number 1 for about 2 months. Its so much better than anything in the charts today.

[@joemacn41]

Classic, funny song by the nutty boys. I like the steel drums and gospel choir in it as well.

[@popcur]

Heard this song first on WLIR, NYC Loved it, Still love it. that was the 80's.

[@thegatheringdrum]

Aah, Madness never fail to cheer me up....they've got soul :)

[@duenasmom]

geez this takes me back to 16 again. just GOOD music that makes ya feel good. who remembers old school: english beat, modern english, berlin, yaz, echo and the bunnymen, siouxie&thebanshees, iggy pop, the ramones, kate bush, nina hagen... oh yea, the 80's were awesome ;D.

[@rakibobetts]

I forgot how good this madness song was......sheer brilliance

[@wingsandash]

I still regret having missed that flight. :) Love you, Captain Carl !!

[@steamsearcher]

I was a student in Coventry from 1979 t0 1982 BEAT that. great time.

[@silentbob82]

[@iago71]

[@arkady714]

Bloody brilliant.

[@ramoneschick1]

Wayyy before my time, but these guys are brilliant

[@MrShtiv]

What a pick me up tune. They've been playing this in between the breaks at the the Olympics. Class!

[@spiggyholz8824]

@Wizardus86 It was from a French advert that Dave Robinson of Stiff (who Madness were signed to at the time) had bought the rights to. Don't know what the original ad was for though.

[@homer151]

beats easyjet I want fly with Madness great bunch of lads

[@NorthernFella]

They wrote this song for the Choir that appear in this video how great was that!

[@EllieeStahh]

[@Wotuer]

You said it man... I concur

[@leletate1]

[@leiposuctie]

GOOD ska will never die....thank you youtube

[@NorthernFella]

Apparently Suggs saw the Choir (inspiration church of ???) on tv and was inspired to write this song for them. They're in the video as well!

[@MADNESSRULE2K8]

Don't You Mean Absolutely Wonderful !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@fluffydolly]

madness klassik....nutty boyz!!!!

[@Mcvity]

these guys brought us happiness in the UK bless the mighty madness, i'd like to see a bit of a ska revival in the Uk blacks & whites unite!! :) peace

[@dominickearney]

Actually it was Carl who saw them on the show Black on Black (presented by The Selecter's Pauline Black)

[@MeNext]

The shot where the plane is upside down looks like a VC10

[@sonet66]

I would like this song when i am laid to rest,everyone have laught i have all my life GLASS HALF FULL,ALL WAYS

[@mejjjan]

Exactly, These Were People Who Made Music Because They Loved The Art Not For Fame Or Fortune, Which Sounds Incredibly daft, but thats the impression i get by this band. EXCELLENT SONG. No Voice Synthesizers(if Thats wat There Called) or digital arsin about with tracks.

[@Dave4000]

Looking on Wikipedia on the VC10 article, it does look like the aeroplane in the video is indeed a VC10. I'm guessing we're right? Cheers :)

[@ravenfirepheonix]

Have you heard Madness's new song? It's a classic!

[@MrKyleFace]

What can I say? Will Ska ever end, i highly doubt it.

[@nicknasty14]

Aint that the truth!

[@47606odin]

well, i just wanted to confirm as an aircraft, that it was not a helicopter! LOL

[@modsheff1]

Pardon....LOL!

[@cactusboy33]

How did they manage to get Steel Drums on as hand luggage? I can barely have a rucksack.

[@kipper309]

i think its time captain carl!!!!

[@Anna24243]

Madness in stunning 240p.

[@NorthernFella]

ok thanks

[@austinisaminiman]

true

[@ArtByCameron]

MADNESS 4 EVA i saw them live at camp bestival this year they are so much better live but still madness rule!

[@jammyhartley]

How did they all get into that van at 2.45 ?

[@EllieeStahh]

cool

[@Wizardus86]

cause the parachute bit is from a commercial or tv-film of the time any body has any clue what was it from exactly?

[@Wizardus86]

'cause there was no "digital arsin" then but i got your point there. any music is better, if it comes from heart and who plays it loves makin music. needless to mention that Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus-kinda music is the total opposite (they can say anything)

[@helen25263]

new madness inspired UK band can be found on facebook. Have a look at Two Steps Twice, and if you like them please text unsigned63 to 84222 to help them win Live and Unsigned 2011 on Saturday 23rd July!

[@Wizardus86]

@gerretl yeah, flying was much more fun then. you could even smoke on a plane.

[@47606odin]

a plane

[@Dave4000]

Obviously it's "a plane" lol. What make/model? I like aeroplanes.

[@Dave4000]

:D LOL

[@Wizardus86]

Please explain this.

[@muffles36]

dance ffs

[@Wizardus86]

Which one? What's the title of it?

[@matthewhenke670]

1:00 is that Jim Carrey?

[@Wizardus86]

no, it's Chris Foreman, aka Chrissy boy, the band's guitarist. If you think about it, an eight-member band doesn't necessarily needs a plus actor to participiate in their video ;)

[@StubbsMom]

Besides that, when this video was made no one had even heard of Jim Carrey. Except maybe his mom...

[@Dave4000]

What aircraft is that?

[@nuttyboy11]

Pardon?

[@Holfwalk]

@silentbob82 100%?

[@Wolfington]

zazuum

[@wackster66]

an what

[@burnleyfan99]

good song why is it a celebratory song is it special or sumet??? very gud tho all madness songs r gud

[@modsheff1]

DONT SMASH ! look cool as fuck?

[@wyattvictor]

Music has a depressing tone these days.

[@rufusandburne]

if this if that...lol...the stones or dylan would beat it...lol

[@EllieeStahh]
