Johannes Wikström Yup you are right they are my 1st top band in my head

They Might Be Giants

@@BroForce426 Actually yes you're right. I'm reminded of their song "My man" about the joys of total spinal paralysis.

Yes

Yeah i also like the way the guy having the heart attack joins in singing with a big smile on his face. Brilliant, try listening to house of fun and shut up.

Yes 👍

Feel good moment

I certainly do.

Because he’s already dead.

That’s why they show the ambulance and *then* the businessman says “there’s no hurry”. Because the ambulance can’t save him anyway.

💫💓💫

It's crazy how doctors are often themselves unhealthy because of their intense job.

Don't you worry there's no hurry it's a lovely day, could all be going your way, take the doc's advice let up enjoy your life, listen to what they say, it's not a game they play.

Well said. Enjoy life not the strife!

Now that's a piece of wisdom right there, words to the wise and the like. Thumbs Up!

Zebedee you realise the sheer amount of top 10s they had

@@silicate420 I do but I don't think it was underrated, but MODERN madness is.

The thing I always loved about Madness was how most of their songs had this subtle edge, where the wacky instrumentals would become somehow sinister in lyrical context. This song is the prime example of this - the protagonist's plight is treated as comical and ordinary, but it quickly turns into an absurdist tragedy as things get worse. The instrumentals contrast so brilliantly with the lyrics and create this disturbing effect.

Who says they were underrated. They were huge

Between 1980 to 1986 they were in the charts for a total of 214 weeks.... no other 80s act achieves this except for UB40 they equaled it but it was over a couple more years..

Love your comment, made me smile.

busterkeatonsbriefs You're right. It should be mandatory for everyone to carry a xylophone in their briefcase and open it up and play a tune when someone in the vicinity suffers a life threatening cardio-vascular episode. I for one would very much like to be cheered up by a bit of nice music if I was dying of a heart attack on a bus.

+busterkeatonsbriefs this one made me laugh!! Thanks.

+busterkeatonsbriefs Brilliant comment. I think that if Madness were on my commute every morning, I would be very happy. I might need to get a bigger car...or take the bus.

Love it. Now you have put that thought in my head lol

Stoic to the backbone lol. It's what makes the British who they are. Legends.

giusto ,

And of course, when you do start to die, everyone around you will start singing, with one guy wearing a red nose.

Shut up hippie

@@hi-ys7df But the worst time to have a cardiac arrest is when you're in front of everyone playing charades....

@@markperryman1797 Brilliant 🤣

That's Mike Barson

Genius, really.

Lll I know, Mike was driving the bus 20 seconds before that 🤭

*vibraphone

@@tweer64 Shucks, 6 years to get that right

Standard in the UK. And the conductor always has a sax....it's the only way to travel you know?

That is pure genius and it cracks me up. The "ticket inspector" pulling out his sax as well. The more I watch this video, the more I realise how genius it is.

Monsieur Barzo

You cant possibly be serious, if you dont seek out new music you won't find new music for you to like, and you dont have to, you already like this one, just dont judge what you dont know, music is extremely expansive universe

If you want something distinctly Japanese, look up the adverts Madness did for the Honda City in the 80's.

Good for you

Your English is fabulous... better than my Japanese... Madness are good teachers. Watch more and be happy..!!

@@oli315honda honda honda city

How ridiculous. And the crap they play now on radio 1??? Love this tune

it was eventually banned completely by radio 1.

+Sharow Law thats a good thing, we cant forget amazing music like this, compared to the cr@p from today

Mike Benson do you know why ?

I heard this on a Madness greatest hits album that came to the States after Our House was a hit here. I assumed this was a big hit there, and the message is delivered so tamely! Then again, back in those days "the C-word" was "cancer".

A very boring life.

Actually late 70s but more active around the 80s

you're welcome from the Britan

@@benedettobruno1669 you have great taste in music man that's quite a list👍

this shit called life hasn't got any better

ed campion your right shit nowadays

based

I hope you as a 17yr old release how cringe this comment was

@@crunkaintdead7702 No, actually, I don't. I was twelve, i.e., a child, and was expressing my love for a band - one that no one my age listened to, which made it difficult to make friends and share my interests. Take your judgement and poor spelling elsewhere.

You are among lots and lots of Madness friends here. Be proud. Remember, all the others are missing out.

Top lad, keep listening to Madness!

Just like Angry of Mayfair.

i want to get a walking stick solely so i can wave it in anger

Some of us keep it going when we can, there's dozen of us! Dozens!

Me too!😁

THE best .

2024 still listening my friend

What???

@@user-kl4bh4lq6r YOU WANT ROOM 16 FOR HIM ?

I thought that was about the Blue Brothers

@@DiegoGomez-el6te what an anticlimactic comment 😒

Brilliant

Oooooh yass

She’s 12 now. Still love it?

22 now, do you still like Madness?

You only have to watch the vid to 'Night boat to Cairo' to see that :-)
