Madness have never been shy about dressing up and the video for their masterful 1979 ska anthem 'Night Boat To Cairo' depicts them as pith-helmeted explorers, if only for a day in the studio. The song reached # 2 in the UK chart back in 1979 and the band still close their live shows with it to this day. Lee Thompson's saxophone takes center stage here, but for those who wish to follow the lyrics, helpful subtitles are included, complete with bouncing marker.
Lyrics:
It's just gone noon half past monsoon
On the banks of the river Nile
Here comes the boat only half-afloat
Oarsman grins a toothless smile
Only just one more to this desolate shore
Last boat along the river Nile
Doesn't seem to care, no more wind in his hair
As he reaches his last half mile
The oar snaps in his hand before he reaches dry land
But the sound doesn't deafen his smile
Just pokes at wet sand with an oar in his hand
Floats off down the river Nile
Floats off down the river Nile
All aboard, night boat to Cairo
Night boat to Cairo

In a time when all our liberties are slowly becoming stripped from our lives we can all rejoice the fact they can never ever take away the music we grew up listening to and Madness are one of the greatest

Fun fact: Doctor Who once filmed in Spain...and once back in Britain, they noticed the film was scratched, and spent a lot of money sending 2 actors back to Spain to re-shoot the scene...only to later realise that the scratch wasn't that bad and the original footage was totally useable!

My kindergarten class, Egyptian students in Cairo, Egypt, danced to this for the Mother's Day Program. We had so much fun and we love the song!
Some years ago I went on a Nile cruise holiday. On the last night there was a big party on the boat for all the passengers etc. I got the DJ to play this song, well you would wouldn't you?. Not one other person had ever heard of it. I was amazed. Even the crew had no clue. I couldn't believe that no other Brit had ever played this song on a Nile cruise party. It was wierd. 😳🤔

So what are your thoughts on Nile - Annihilation of the Wicked, mate?
This is a pretty sophisticated piece of music ,in terms of the structure, for a bunch of lads barely out of their teens to come up with. The lyrics too, although there aren't very many of them, are pretty great - quite cinematic, you can easily picture every line.
And now I am ordering that uniform and the pith helmet... Thanks a lot guys!

It's just gone noon half past monsoon On the banks of the river Nile Here comes the boat only half-afloat Oarsman grins a toothless smile Only just one more to this desolate shore Last boat along the river Nile Doesn't seem to care, no more wind in his hair As he reaches his last half mile The oar snaps in his hand before he reaches dry land But the sound doesn't deafen his smile Just pokes at wet sand with an oar in his hand Floats off down the river Nile Floats off down the river Nile All aboard, Night boat to Cairo Night boat to Cairo
