  • Madness, madness, they call it Madness…
    You are watching the official video for ‘Madness’ by Madness.
    Click here for more Madness: madnessband.lnk.to/bestofID
    Having never made an official promo video for their cover of the classic Prince Buster track, from which they took their name, Madness have put together a brand new video created using upgraded footage from their 1981 biopic, Take It Or Leave It. The video ticks every box on the Madness visual checklist: the nutty walk - tick, capering around London - tick, playing packed gigs to ecstatic punters - tick, mucking about in the dressing room - tick!
    Lyrics
    Madness, madness, they call it madness
    Madness, madness, they call it madness
    It's plain to see
    That is what they mean to me
    Madness, madness, they call it gladness, ha-ha
    Madness, madness, they call it madness
    Madness, madness, they call it madness
    I'm about to explain
    A-That someone is losing their brain
    Hey, madness, madness, I call it gladness, yee-ha-ha-ha
    Propaganda ministers
    Propaganda ministers
    I've a-got a heavy due
    I'm gonna walk all over you
    'Cause
    Madness, madness, they call it madness
    Well if this is madness
    Then I know I'm filled with gladness
    It's gonna be rougher
    It's gonna be tougher, pa-da-da, pa-da-da
    But I won't be the one who's gonna suffer
    Oh no, I won't be the one who's gonna suffer
    You are gonna be the one, a-you...

      @@kidkique yeah of course, but that’s why I said “real friendship” rather than just “friendship”. Look, it’s just my opinion but back then your friends were almost more like family. The endless hours spent together playing football, drinking, whatever…. To me I don’t see that with friendship groups anymore. I have kids in their teens and 20’s and friendship now is mostly online, like Instagram, or long calls on WhatsApp, all a little fake and throw away in my opinion.

    Настоящие лоси. Бомберы, котелки, как из заводного апельсина... Таким на дороге лучше не попадаться.

    My Madness Lps were stolen when I was at uni. Did some Dj:ing, Soul, Ska, bit of indie... just for free beers and a few laughs. Good times, would really want those records back though...

    I cant wait to see them here in Iceland in June 2024. Last time I saw them was in 1986 and I got to meet them thanks to my membership card of the MIS, apparently I was the only member from Iceland in their fan club 😅
    I hope I get to meet them again

    Siempre los admiré son un excelente grupo a pesar que vengo de un país tan lejano y desconocido para muchos de ustedes como es VeneZuela
