Same here, I was shocked to find out!

Madness made a great cover. I don't think this is the right video though. Should be dance Cleopatra dance. my thoughts, correct me if i'm wrong :)

Madness is not anywhere near this. I always hated them for no particular reason. Now that I have discovered jamaican Ska in the past 10 yrs or so I know why. Bad appropriation of something truly great.

Madness loved The Prince! Buster bowl me over with your bogus dance Shuffle me off my feet Even if I kept on runnin' I'd never get to Orange Street Bring back the Who is the We want the Bring back the Prince...

nonsens Prince Buster loved Madness and thanked them for reviving his carreer.

Wow.

the mighty mighty prince buster

Which Son? And where are you from ?

Christ!!!! You lucky bleeder. Tell him his Dad is GOD imho. Even saw him in concert and he came right up to us in the front row and sang right in our faces!! ❤

@@pattybeckford900 Jamal. Miami.

So many of Madness' songs are just covers of Prince Buster.

@@FFM0594 How do you know that it's not the other way around, and that Prince Buster (or Madness) weren't time travellers?

@@pineapplepenumbra Send me some of what you're smoking.

@@FFM0594 "Send me some of what you're smoking." I'm afraid that I can't, sadly I've run out of the stuff. It was in a small packet, given to me by a giant purple cat with 6 legs and batwings, who stepped out of a dimension portal, said something to someone behind him/her, that I couldn't see, only the end of their huge, pert, satin clad bust, with a wisp of ginger hair hanging down. The tail end of the conversation is all that I heard,: "Since I'm not a perspiring rabbit, it wouldn't really bother me very much." Then it disappeared by flying up the chimney with a whoop, which is weird, because the chimney flue was in no way big enough to accommodate the airborn feline, let alone its unfeasible wings. You wouldn't want the side effects, though, I had a bad case of the Flying Buttmonkeys for a couple of days, you know, like the ones in "The Wizard of Oz", only more anally located? They're seriously much less fun than they sound.

me too

Check out more Prince Buster. You'll be amazed.

And by the power of sanity ye shall remain here forever

Wilson, Keppel and betty

Somehow I'm not surprised that Wilson, Keppel, and Betty were British. My first impression was that their dance moves look like something that would be subsidized by the Ministry of Silly Walks.

and do you know, when you dance this people look art you gone out!

@@captainswoop8722 Wilson and Keppel were constant, but there were several Bettys over theyears.

I legit wish i could do those moves!

The woman has a pretty interesting CV *. . .*

About to take first sax group lesson at 54. Any tips? 😀

@@SaltBushCity I got an Alto sax for students about £600 you get what you pay for.. To make practice easier i then got a Yamaha electronic sax again about £600 but it was worth it as although it sounds awful through its in built speakers it sounds great played through a computer and the fingering is exactly the same as a normal sax. Tips? The notes are really easy to remember BAG FED and the associated sharps and B flat, it will introduce you to a little music theory but you will find it interesting unless you already have some knowledge. After learning some easy tunes I wrote down each major scale and just practiced G scale D scale A scale E scale B scale F scale, if you practice the finger positions get embedded in your brain, good luck!

As I posted,first time seeing Betty😁

Of course

yes hungryherbie but the really are two different beats the Madness is much quicker it's all down to personal taste

This version is much better than the pale Madness-Version. Just listen to the Sax-player - a different league!!!

They owe their name to another Prince Buster tune (called 'Madness' ofc)

Honor a quien honor merece!!! Está música es increíble.

absolutamente

как мы сюда вообще попали?

I think those 2 cornballs ruined the beauty & crux of the song. They should have included 2 attractive sexy ladies to flow along with the groove.

It's called "toasting" and pretty common in ska music. Listen to Mephiskapheles and you'll hear it a lot

Chemical brothers

You're not alone, fella *. . .*

Apparently they went through a number of "Betty"s!

Bonky B The two Princes are dead,Prince Buster and Prince.

by Madness I mean

They were a British novelty act

Out of curiosity, who are the Parker-Hintz twins? The dancing act were known as Wilson, Keppel & Betty.

I grew up wif my friend mrlee in council housing and he says that he'd never pay money to see this kind of unserious entertainment. He fancies himself as some kind of posh fop, he does. *Clarification. MRLEE calls it council HOUSING, what we grew up in. I say just call them FLATS and have done wif it. It's too much of a bother to banter about wif semantics, in fact, it's boring. We grew up in council FLATS, Lee. Deal wif it, my lad

@@vulture3874 These two I believe: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ip6ImKensNetZHk.html

Indeed.

I thought they didn’t like the NF that’s strange being labeled to 2-tone records which most bands that had black and white musicians. And there is a difference between skins and national front boneheads
