@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.
That's so true. I've just said that on another clip..well, something like that. But turn this on up loud and no one needs convincing to dance to this and it's so much fun!
midnight madhatter..they were good musicians with a great singer who play extremely catchy pop music…im not a huge fan but even i can sing most of their hits in the bath.
If they are a kids band…they could give masterclasses to most modern bands.
So lip synced
this is so cool ???????
No song gets a crowd going like this one
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.
Long live the Nutty Boys!!!!!!!!!!!

We've got the colgate pump.

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.

The song got to No.3 in October 1980 – Classic in 80, classic now!
Brilliant!!!! This tune is just class!!!
@melodicsweepea And still going strong now. Their 2009 Liberty Of Norton Folgate album is superb.
