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

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

I love this song! Just want to dance !

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

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.

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

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 !!!

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.

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

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

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

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

Ska-beat reggae rules

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

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

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

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

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

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

Beyond !!! It’s one step beyond

one step Beyond

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

one stop beyond - that's BEYOND

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

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.

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'.

Beyond beyond beyond

They are fun to listen to

I missed you India.. Love from Amsterdam

Beyond! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 X

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

Girl you are so awesome!!!!!

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

always loved this song they look like they are just to much fun

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.

Okay, okay . Iam feeling this instrumental.

B E Y O N D ! ! ! Not Behind

One step beyond

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

Keep up the good work how many children have you got I have heard one I know it is very smart like momma.

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

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

Oh yeh🤘🤘🤘❤️❤️❤️. Cant get enough of ska

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

Great times great memories

This was brilliant get up and dance girl

good 1

The catch is in the name- expect the unexpected hahaha

This and House of Fun are my favorite Madness songs

The original song is Prince Buster

If you want to smile watch madness

80`s music 😍😍

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

Let. Go nutty❤❤❤❤

One step beyond dear 😆

My favorite song (cover) by Madness!

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

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

It’s a dance. ☝

I love your laugh 😃

Madness it must be love

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 :)

Nightboat to Cairoooooooooooooooooo :)

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.

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

Check out The Specials....

House of Fun and Baggy Trousers are both fun vibes.

MAD SKA!!!

One Step BEYOND...
