Absolutely correct reaction!! You just cannot sit still to this tune. You must 'begin to move your feet"! When Madness played a gig in Hyde Park, London to celebrate 25 years, the dancing registered 4.3 on the Richter Scale. True. You were bustin' some smooth moves there Leo! Madness are all about good, clean fun and great music to bop to.

More Madness: "Baggy Trousers", "Night Boat to Cairo", "Our House", "Bed and Breakfast Man", "Razor Blade Alley", "In The Middle of the Night" and of course "Chipmunks Are Go!" and even "Swan Lake".

“I don’t think I heard any words yet..... all I hear is ‘ONE STEP BEYOND!’ “. What more needs to be said??

Not one of us would complain if you stopped and replayed it over and over and over and over again.

Madness is a great British Ska music band. They have been together since the early-1980s, and were regulars in the early years of MTV. "One Step Beyond" is a good instrumental, and a great dance music video. Madness had some other hit songs/music videos, such as "House Of Fun", "It Must Be Love", "Night Boat To Cairo", and "Our House".

The crazy and genius world of Madness🇬🇧🎶❤️🎶🇺🇸

Madness, The Specials, The English Beat, The Special Beat, The Selector, The Skatalites, all pretty epic OG Ska bands. Tons more as well. You had rub dub, then Ska, then reggae, then bands like these in the second wave of Ska in England. How much of the culture came from Jamaica is insane. They took blues from New Orleans in the 40's and made their own club versions of that music in Jamaica. It evolved and traveled to England where it added a Jazz influence. As years went on in England, the tempo increased. So really breaking it down, it's Louisiana R&B, crossed with pre-reggae Jamaican music, crossed withe jazz, then later crossed with reggae. It's just fucking epic.

That was the first Madstock that was. I attended, alongside my younger smarter brother. First time seeing them together as I was 19 back in '79 and him being only 14 used to go to their matinee shows, especially when they'd play the Hammersmith Odeon or the Palais. I must have seen them at least 50 times over the past years. I first saw them at the Hope and Anchor, as featured in this very video. Then the Nashville Rooms in West Ken, the Marquee (my favourite ever venue) and loads of others. Fuck me but the late 70s early 80s were the bollocks.

And strangely enough at the same time Madness are on the Radio... 🎵 It Must Be Madness ! 😜

(Pro tip, want a good day? start it off with some Madness!!, the rest of your day will be great!) Now if you're getting into Ska... there are a lot of great bands to check out like "The Selecter" (not a typo), "The Specials", "The Beat", "Ranking Roger" and ofc "Madness" to name literally just a few. If its 2Tone (famous Ska record label" its usually dang good. Also check out "Mark Foggo" :)

They formed in 1976 (45 years ago!) and their latest tour was 2018-2019.

Madness were my first musical influence. “House Of Fun” is also a great Madness song.

I've not read the replies but I burst out laughing when you got up and started doing the madness jig as an American! This song, along with otbers from madness, was the soundtrack to my youth growing up in the UK in the 80's. The Ska sound comes from 50's Jamaica that was brought to the UK through immigration in the 60's and 70's. I doubt music will be influenced geographically/culturally like that ever again so I have big love for this stuff!

2:55 - Rewinding to get a grasp on what you just heard, is a good thing Mr Video. Let comments about that slide off.

Well it had to happen. You've got Madness...

Great reaction to a fantastic ska band from the late 70s and 80s. They had 15 top 10 UK hits and are still going strong. Just watch a video of them playing this at the start of a live concert - the crowds always go wild and the atmosphere is simply electric.
