I watched your reaction to their song Our House and you actually decided to do a reaction to this song! Now you get to see all of the crazy SKA dance moves we all did from back in the day!

Always baffles me that some people can't get enjoyment from music without vocals

So good, ridiculously un-self-important, tight as a drum store's attic. Love 'em from Day 1.

This is a cover of the Prince Buster (real name Cecil Campbell) song from the 1960s. He was a proponent of Ska music which was revived in the 70s in the UK by the likes of The Specials & Madness. Madness also took their name from another Prince Buster song which they in turn also covered.

The spoken intro featured the words 'listen buster (mate, friend, pal, buddy)', and is of course a reference to Prince Buster who was the king of ska and had the original hit

I have Madness on a playlist with other Ska, New Wave, and Punk Rock music from the 80s...absolutely love it! So glad you're covering this.

They were/are an amazing live unit and the song "Embarrasment" has a dark origin and a serious but really great song

It's not One Step Behind, It's One Step BEYOND. But glad you liked it. ;-)

Great band Madness were just one of those bands that most people loved

I love this song! Just want to dance !

When this is played at weddings and functions people just get up and do the dance.

Some of the most profound lyrics, of all time!!

these guys and the (English ) Beat along with Specials moved your feet and soul in the 80s

Madness - "Night Boat To Cairo", was pretty big, but I love "The Prince", "Wings Of A Dove", or "Tomorrow's Just Another Day".

The first time I heard this song and saw the video, I was on the floor laughing. 30 years later, I still fall to the floor laughing.

Guy 'dancing' in front of red phone boxes was a mate of theirs who couldn't dance but was brought into it, to add some humour and normality amidst the lunacy

They sang ONE line and you never heard it. LOL "ONE STEP BEYOND" You crack me up.

Ska-beat reggae rules

Nice too see you back this manic Monday/ 2 tone in huh also check the specials / the English beat / the selector (who you will love) even the original "the skatilites" a whole world of Ska music from its original Jamaica roots thr the streets of England !!!

You have got to see, their live performance of madness 2011 festival in Redding. When they come on to the stage to like 50,000 teenagers and they go wild. Incredible energy & performance. One step beyond

This brings you in a good mood. 👍😁 Nice to see you again 💪👊❤

Ohhhh the memories. So much fun. Ska in the 80s was so fun. It's always fun . I was just a certain age then so I am partial.

So happy you're back!!!!!!

It's great to see you back, India! Your responses are some of the best and most insightful of all reactors.

I saw Madness in concert in Daytona in '83. It was a free concert and I was about 3 feet from the stage.

one stop beyond - that's BEYOND

Not behind...beyond. The power of the Ska !!

Simply awesome. As Ska as it gets. SUGGS, a master

so glad you're well. it's been a tough time lately huh? Madness is High Steppin' Dance Music!! you don't dance slow to Madness, the Godfathers of SKA

Beyond !!! It’s one step beyond

Oh yeah!!! Love me some Madness, The Jam, Gang Of Four, Squeeze, that British sound.

I'm so glad that you got the joke! You've picked up a very nice intro to the Madness Universe. Love your work Darlin'.

one step beyond

one step Beyond

Can you imagine what it was like as a 17 year old in 1979 hearing this for the first time?? I remember well.

It's just supposed to make you smile..awesome tune.

The "Hey,You! Don't Watch Dat Watch Dis!" was on MTV's TV Promo from the First Day of Broadcast!

BEYOND!!!! 😂. It’s ‘One Step BEYOND’ 🤗🤗🤗👍🏼😃🥰

Great to have you back India, it's been a while.

Beyond beyond beyond

Girl you are so awesome!!!!!

They are fun to listen to

I missed you India.. Love from Amsterdam

Beyond! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 X

One step beyond

Two tone had great brass, Bad Manners, the late great Rico with the Specials but you need to do UB40 One in Ten. Great music and proper political lyrics.

Thanks, India - this song is so much fun! "Our House" is a bit more mainstream.. but this band had so much energy and talent.. I'm glad you took a look -lol

Okay, okay . Iam feeling this instrumental.

Nice to see a new review from you. Did anyone get the words to that song 😉

B E Y O N D ! ! ! Not Behind

I used to drink in that pub, the hope and anchor, can't remember how many hot hot nights watching bands I had there it was a basement and it was so hot down there you had to come upstairs for air. happy days lol

Chelsea football club fans celebrate to this tune at Stamford bridge at end of important victory.the lead singer of madness is a fan and has written and sung a song called “blue day”which is sung at Stamford bridge too.

This was brilliant get up and dance girl

This and House of Fun are my favorite Madness songs

If you like Madness, you should also check out The Specials - "Gangsters" is almost constantly stuck in my head; "Ghost Town", "A Message to You, Rudy", and "Too Much Too Young" are great too.

The original song is Prince Buster

My favorite song (cover) by Madness!

If you have ever seen Animal House that is D-Day at the beginning with the vocal sax solo.

Madness it must be love

For those people, like me, who like to nerd out a bit: Ska shares a common origin with Reggae and Rocksteady (they even mention Rocksteady in this clip) in Jamaica, dating back to at least the 50s, but possibly the 40s, very likely, actually. What most people around the world identify as Ska is actually the second generation of Ska that spread from the UK; which Madness is a part of. The first wave came from Jamaica, but in the post-war period, Jamaica being a part of the British Commonwealth, was given preferential treatment for its immigrants to the UK to help rebuild the country after the war. That's how Ska made its way to the UK. And, because Jamaican immigrants settled in very working-class neighborhoods, many white Britons adopted the genre. Ska was, in essence, a very working-class youth genre in the UK in the first decade or so. In the 70s, when Punk music broke out in the UK, many of its aspects, like the high energy and electronic instruments (and some post-punk) fused with the earlier Ska to create what you see here: second-wave ska. Ironically, this also coincided with much of the Thatcher period. I say ironic, because Thatcher was very conservative in the Cold War drive while most UK Ska bands were very racially integrated; as were the audiences and tended to have a very strong working class and militant anti-racist stand. Third generation Ska isn't really that interesting (with perhaps my personal liking of the band Save Ferris). In general it was a 90s American suburbanite pop infused thing that was empty of any significant social lyrics. Most of you may not know this, but this song by Madness is actually a cover of Prince Buster's original version. In fact, their name "Madness" also comes from a Prince Buster song; along with their song of the same name. Prince Buster's considered the godfather of Ska. I leave the link below of the original version of "One Step Beyond." kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9ubjdCaq7Hen5s.html

It’s a dance. ☝

When I was 15 I had friends in tower records I got 7 pins and I sold later for 300 dollars it was nice 👍 if I don’t like most music you gave it a chance and got one

The catch is in the name- expect the unexpected hahaha

The prince buster original is tight. Enjoy yourself is my favorite prince buster

ska from Jamaica

I love your laugh 😃

One Step BEYOND...

MAD SKA!!!

If you want to smile watch madness

One step beyond NOT behind!

One step beyond!

One step beyond dear 😆

NIGHTBOAT TO CAIRO is my fave trust

Do “Grey Day” one of their best!

Funnily enough this is a cover of a much older ska song originally by Prince buster

Check out The Specials....

check out NIght Boat to Cairo by them

Night boat to Cairo

Its just madness no more no less madness

Ska music was all the rage for awhile, checkout The Untouchables What's Gone Wrong

House of Fun and Baggy Trousers are both fun vibes.

In the 80's whilst we were all trying to look cool for the girls at school disco's. When this can on, that was it, forget the girls we were dancing like that pretending to be one of the 'nutty boys' aka Madness.

Nightboat to Cairoooooooooooooooooo :)

Try their song Nightboat to cairo

They clearly shout "One step Beyond" but this `reviewer` keeps calling it "One Step Behind" Says it all really!

I can't find your reaction to "Rock Lobster" by the B52s. Don't tell me you missed that one!

Listen to "stray cats" also

How about Bow Wow Wow "Do You Wanna Hold Me?"

I LOVE THE WTF LOOK ON THE FACE OF THE GUY IN THE BED.

Try their track Baggy Trousers 🎶🤩🙌👍

It is just a hype song :) The instructions are basic. It isn’t complicated just move your feet to the rockingest rocksteady beat of Madness … ah-hem now put one foot in front of the other and have some fun :)

She should do Return Of The Los Palmas 7 next. She'll really like that.

This is a fun one there all fun but this is a let loose one 😂. My brother was a Hugh madness fan so that where I got to like them
