Taken from Madness's third studio album '7' (released in 1981), 'Shut Up' is an extraordinary song, with its swirling piano and relentless silent movie soundtrack sound. Lyrically it finds the band absolving themselves of responsibility for a multitude of wrongdoings while running away from the police (also band members) on screen. Suggs features here as the tartan-suited second hand car salesman and striped, masked burglar, giving the video a comically sinister 'Clockwork Orange' feel. "Pass the blame and don't blame me". Indeed.

The story about this song is based on a actual event, that happen to one of the members in the band Madness (I will not revel who). When he bought a second hand instrument and then later on dicovered that it was stolen and was confronted by the metropolitan police. This incident caused him much trouble with the law because he was accused not only buying stolen goods, but also with the actual theft. Years later he and the band wrote this song.

They might not have been prolific maestros of incredible musical talent, and the songs may be simple in structure and execution, but that's the innate genius of Madness, it's in the simplicity and the straightforward uncompromising and cleverly composed lyrics. 😊

I never understood them in the 80s - now, after a good deal of living & intensive study in psychology, I’m completely enthralled by them - this is a smarter band by far than they seemed to me all those years ago. This video is incredibly well thought out & marries well with the comedic despair in the lyrics. It makes total sense to me now. This stuff went over my head as a kid. If I had a time machine first thing I’d do is catch them playing a pub back in their prime.
