'Night Boat To Cairo' is another great tune and video from the 'lads' ....... Madness are from my patch of London, Camden Town ......... they're known as Camden's Nutty Boys

I was a mere youngster when this was in the charts, it was ages before I actually realised what the song was about lol

'Driving In My Car' , 'Michael Caine' and 'It Must Be Love' brilliant tunes of theirs aswell 😁

At the Barbers "Something for the Weekend Sir" ;¬) Glad you got it.

When I got my hands on the album 'Absolutely' I listened back to back to back. I'm loving this nostalgia.

I was there when they filmed the start of the video. I lived in those flats as did Lee the saxophone player in madness. I grew up with them and went on tour with them a lot. Best time was America 83 opened up for the police and David bowie on big stadium shows. Still see them a lot lately in London , great guys

So freaking cool my dude thanks for sharing.

In the UK Madness had 31 Top 40 hit singles 17 of which which the top 10. Incidentally the funfair are featured in the video is in a seaside town in Britain called Great Yarmouth the funfair was the Pleasure Beach which is just down the road from where I live.

Good reaction. You picked up on the message of the video very quickly. You have a keen ear. "Michael Caine" and "It must be love" by Madness are great songs.

Fun fact: The Young Ones didn't have much of a budget to produce, but, if they featured bands playing it meant it could be classed a 'variety show' and the BBC allowed a bigger budget for variety shows. Yeeess! said Young Ones production. We've struck a blow against the BBC fascist bully boys to get more cash out of them and book the bands WE like.

Yeah, BBC Bristol had no room for a comedy show, but did for a variety show......

Madness have the best videos. 'Shut up' is another good one, the one where they walk across the ceiling.

Madness were certainly fun to watch

Madness had some quite serious songs as well and become politizised for the wrong reasons which wasn't there fault

Great video👍lots of people just see young blokes being silly without listening to the lyrics and the context of them, glad you enjoyed ✌️🇺🇸✌️🇬🇧🍻🍻

Barber shops are the the best hahaha. There was a few I used to go to that sold everything beside getting a cut. Hats,shirts etc was really convenient and one of the best places to talk sports among other topics hahah

This was their only number one record in the UK although as somebody has already said they had lots of top ten hits. Got to number one in 1982,

Oh my goodness, that old wooden rollercoaster at Great Yarmouth, I've been on that so many times.

Madness are a fuckin superb band.

Should check out bed and breakfast man

The music on the young ones was because when trying to make the series for the BBC they were told the was no money in the budget for another comedy series however there was money in the 'light entertainment' budget so by putting a music interval in the show they could call it light entertainment rather than comedy and therefore get the series made. Crazy accountants.

Yeah in terms of tune and video that is probably (despite the subject matter) the most fun and "typically Madness" promo vid out there.

Most years they take over a holiday camp for a house of fun weekender Chas is the only one no longer in the band. Check out Mr Apple's from 2018. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🤠

House of Fun is a euphemism for a brothel

Night boat to Cairo . That’s it

There a cool movie about these guys called the business.. showing how they got together 👍

Filmed in Great Yarmouth including the joke shop , pleasure beach 🏖️ Suds grandad lived there

Glad you're liking Madness, it's just a happy vibe off them. ....yeah...the flavoured tips....they sound good in theory, but from what I remember, they're disappointing for everyone involved 🤭

Grey day next please

As teenagers most of us have been there. You go to buy condoms and either the young girl behind the counter is someone you know and quite fancy and are too scared to ask out or the woman behind the counter knows you and is a friend of your mum.

Remember going to blackpool and buying a pork pie hat with a white ribbon around it with "madness" on it 😂

Not old school but a few years ago now, you should check out some Stooche, three girls from S.London that were tight. Hoochie Mumma, Slip, My Man Music, Black Heart, some great tracks.

Try Ullo John Got A New Motor by Alexei Sayle

Not many songs out there about buying your first packet of `nodders`

Love Madness, seen the Nutty Boys many times, love UK Ska, time to watch one of my favs: kzread.info/dash/bejne/noCArpOEqNO_faQ.html :) For the unsure, this is taken very seriously, Night Boat to Cairo is a Ska Classic, a London light of Cosmopolitan, Multi Cultural, Cross Ethnic, boundary breaking fun. Naturally the music needs to be good to achieve such lofty goals - and it is one step beyond good. One of the most influential bands of my life, which is scary when one realises both how old I am and what stuff I am in change of. For the Wings of a Dove ❤

next step is live Madness T In The Park house of fun

For fun recent videos try Alestorm, Drink or Shipwrecked. Scots Pirate Metal !
