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!

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

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.

Oh she has got to do The Specials. Also studying the original skinhead movement before Nazis appropriated it will teach her a lot about Jamaican Immigrants in England and the white dancehall kids who would curbstomp Nazis for them.

@Zippy Knowitall I am American, and I was more of a deathpunk than a SHARP but I would roll with SHARPS when business needed taken care of in the 80s and 90s

So good, ridiculously un-self-important, tight as a drum store's attic. Love 'em from Day 1.

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

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

Embarrassment is one of their absolute best tracks.

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

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.

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

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

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

I love this song! Just want to dance !

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.

these guys and the (English ) Beat along with Specials moved your feet and soul in the 80s

Just shows how much attention she was paying = `Not Much!`

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

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.

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

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 !!!

Beyond !!! It’s one step beyond

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

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

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

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

B E Y O N D ! ! ! Not Behind

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." kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z6mfvM-idq7gn8o.html

Okay, okay . Iam feeling this instrumental.

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

Great times great memories

The original song is Prince Buster

80`s music 😍😍

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.

good 1

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

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

This and House of Fun are my favorite Madness songs

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

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

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

My favorite song (cover) by Madness!

Let. Go nutty❤❤❤❤

It’s a dance. ☝

The catch is in the name- expect the unexpected hahaha

One Step BEYOND...

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

If you want to smile watch madness

check out NIght Boat to Cairo by them

This was brilliant get up and dance girl

One step beyond dear 😆

Madness it must be love

Check out The Specials....

House of Fun and Baggy Trousers are both fun vibes.

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.

ska from Jamaica

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

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

I love your laugh 😃

One step beyond NOT behind!

MAD SKA!!!

Try their song Nightboat to cairo

NIGHTBOAT TO CAIRO is my fave trust

They clearly shout "One step Beyond" but this `reviewer` keeps calling it "One Step Behind" Says it all really!

Night boat to Cairo

Nightboat to Cairoooooooooooooooooo :)

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 :)

Listen to "stray cats" also

Do “Grey Day” one of their best!
