When I was kid, I thought Mike had just fried himself. But then you listen to interviews with him back when he started, you realize "No, he's just like that". Sometimes genius is narrowing your mind to focus on the things you do exceptionally well, and not giving an eff about everything else.

It's Mike. The genius-"simple guy" behind Madness, and the reason why it survived as a band in the first place. He's unintentionally funny as heck. Go watch the video on how my girl came to be. Explains him perfectly. Love that Suggs encouraged him to keep digging there. You see the magic behind their chemistry.

Day boat in London

The oar snaps in his hand before he reaches dry land But the sound doesn't deafen his smile. Just pokes at wet sand with an oar in his hand Floats off on that pond in style.

Dampen, not deafen. Even though it's published in various places as deafen and on the original video, they all got it wrong!

Looks like it could be Regents Park in London to me.
