Welcome To The House of Fun.

Madness ... wot a group! I just watched this video for the umpteenth time.

Hands up everyone who knew that this song is about a sixteen year old going to a chemist to buy condoms.

"Our House" ... "It Must Be Love" ... Sigh.

They don't make music like this anymore!

Actually I tell a lie... to me their greatest was this:

Madness - One Step Beyond - YouTube

This early style actually spawned a new generation of music In England known as ' Ska '

Very popular with Mods...

It was about 1984 that I took time out from The Stranglers to go and see Madness live at The Brighton Centre with my Mod nephew and his pals... when they started playing this which was a full 15 minute version, the roof came off and I was compelled to dance Madness style .... you had to be there.
