Madness: Yesterday's Men- TOTP 1985

[@robertstorey7476]

This and one better day were their beautiful thoughtful crowning achievements.Yesterdays men is clearly how they saw themselves as their spell at the top started to wane yet its something most people can relate to at some points in their lives. There is a dreamy acceptance that this is just how things are inevitably.

[@tattskink9589]

Yesterday s men sings in the old fashioned way yes men hang on to today to sing any old way

[@Ma-yb9zt]

Will i be here in the LONG RUN , NOPE !!!!

[@MarmaladeStex]

Brilliant!, Never knew they Appeared on Wogan!, By the way does anyone know who the 2 Backing Vocalists are with Carl?.

[@IAMPLEDGE]

Jimmy Helms and Jimmy Chambers I think. The core of the band Londonbeat.

[@Ma-yb9zt]

How far can we go ???

[@JoeyXSmith]

I did hear from Top Of The Pops The Story of 1986 that they got banned to appear back on Wogan after this. They didn't say way tho. Anyone know why or reason for that?

[@j.richardcrosby8860]

They drank the BBC bar dry

[@declanmcdermott]

Adam, Wasn't this performance from the Wogan show ?

[@TheMadnessVideoArchive]

Declan Mc Dermott could be right Dec! I uploaded it in a bit of a rush and rushed the title

[@JohnTaylorMusicClips53]

He's telling you it's from Wogan, not asking​@@TheMadnessVideoArchive

[@jlsutton4819]

One of the best bands of the 80s. Has to get better in the long run, so relevant for today xx.

[@Ma-yb9zt]

How far will i go

[@jcBurton2094]

Nieve should've been here... he's doing some great work on the organ

[@jonathancoughlan9563]

Jerry Dammers was on the organ here

[@IAMPLEDGE]

@@jonathancoughlan9563 Jerry Dammers played on its exquisite B side All I Knew, not on Yesterday's Men.

[@Ma-yb9zt]

Top of the pops = hit depo

[@MARCELOBCS]

An insolent speck of youth Being taken for a walk So tightly by the ear That he can hardly talk Yesterday's men hang to today To sing in the old-fashioned way It must get better in the long run Has to get better in the long run A metropolitan marathon Has been held today But who you need to catch Will be coming the other way Yesterday's men hang to today To sing in any old way It must get better in the long run Has to get better in the long run Because when you're told to start How far can you go When your race is won And you already know Because when you're told to stop How far will you go When your race is run And you already know Yesterday's men hang to today, To sing in any old way, It must get better in the long run Has to get better in the long run Will it get better in the long run Will we be here in the long run Yesterday's men hang to today, To sing in any old way, It must get better in the long run Has to get better in the long run Will it get better in the long run Will we be here in the long run Do, do, do, hang on in the long run

METROPOLITAN NY MARATHON

[@karenleroux6500]

lol all black and white, mind you mad not mad was a very dark phase for the nutty boys

[@joetotale6354]

@@leemorris2924 I disagree. Their darker stuff still stands up.

[@IAMPLEDGE]

@@leemorris2924wrong on both counts. They didn't fuck about for years. And Mad Not Mad is a brilliant album. Different but brilliant. But if you think their career up to that point can be summed up by "fucking about" you are seriously wide of the mark.

[@patricksullivan7854]

They had had enough. Whoo’s was not the style of most of them.

[@bighoose]

Why does the lead singer look like he constipated?

[@kmarx7517]

The beginning of the end 😎😎🇮🇪
