Bed and Breakfast man was the 1st Madness song I heard in 1979 I was 10 years old and iv been a big fan still to this day. Love all SKA bands. The specials- Badmanners - The English Beat- The bodysnatchers - The selector.

Forcing Americans to watch good 40 year old music from the UK isnt fair...... play them some bland Journey or Taylor Swift song, and dont make them have to think...

You two must understand madness are a British institution One of the best loved bands in the UK I will let you off for not understanding the British humour plus a lot of what madness were singing about is very British and went straight over your heads but they are a very loved band in the UK

People of today's generation don't realise how massive Madness we're

During 60,70,80' Brits had the best bands ! Rock,Punk,Metal,Ska,New wave and so on

Who never like Madness in the UK in the 80's? You'l be hard pressed to find someone

As soon as I realised they were listening to this via one headphone each, I knew they weren't getting the full audio experience and stopped watching!

You probably need to have been at school in the early 80's to appreciate and understand this song and video in England that is.

madness really are a British treasure love em.

One of the best ska bands ever

Madness...one of the great british Ska bands from the 80's.... I love the video and song for "House of fun"

This song was played by madness on the roof of Buckingham Palace, in 2012 for our queen's golden jubilee, note that Buckingham Palace appears in the video.

saw these guys live in 2019,absolutely fantastic,lifelong school pals who just love playing great music.even better live than in the videos

This reminds me of my older brother, he was a Mod and had his scooter n shit with loads of mirrors on it, they the Mods were always battling with the punk rockers. How times have changed.

I don't think they have ever heard any Ska before.

Another 80s classic which if you lived in the uk at that time would have heard it played on the radio 24/7 ...it has a feel good factor about it and very impressed to see Americans appreciating it too. What us 80s fans need is a time machine to go back to when music seemed better than today even if that makes me sound like my parents/grandparents who would say the same thing about the music they listened to in the 40s-70s.

If I could recommned a few songs to try from madness: Cardiac Arrest, Night Boat to Cairo and One Step Beyond, especially the last two - proper oldschool two tone Ska

Rude boy's in the house, SKA rules.

You are punching above your weight sonny boy. Respect 👊

Hello Enigma. Just watched your video on Madness which was good :) Just wanted to add my to pence if I may. Our house was about very poor people, fathers who went to work on low pay mothers who struggled. Same old story all over the world. Baggy trousers, we English do seem to like to fight each other, its historic I guess. At the end of a School term the local schools would meet and fight each other, it was just a rule. They would fight in school obviously, but the fight against an opposing school was a necessity. This is what Baggy trousers was about, may not translate well to you Americans as you all had a different upbringing obviously.

All depends, my friend. I went to Secondary School at The Oval near Brixton from 1965-71 and hardly ever remember any fights though it was a Grammar School. When we used to play after school in the local park though you often had The Secondary Modern Boys want to play us, mainly to kick us. :) Lovely lads. One day they came to our school and our Latin Teacher stepped in. I would not mind but in our school, it was 75% Working Class kids...

To be honest,I didnt like the recent songs presented here that much,but this(Our House ) was in my view,worth watching and checking out..its an old classic,not fantastic,but catchy in its own way and thereby,pleasant to spend time watching. Nice to see the cooperation between Ashtyn/jon and Enigma going about again..

That's how the cookie crumbles sometimes unfortunately because the whole point of me making these requests is to expose them to lots of different music across many genres and time periods so naturally people who have a preference of their own won't be as interested in all the ones I select. There are one or two genres of music that both myself and they hate so I won't pick those types as I don't care to see their reactions to those ones and they don't want to listen those ones either...outside of that I try to keep the selection quite broad and spanning many decades and types of music but due to that not every song or artist is going to be of interest to everyone.

One earphone each...?

Madness, the only band to do a song about shopping for protection on your first date (House of fun ). Although The Specials ended Much too young with Start wearing a cap. 😂🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🤠

In my view Ashtyn and Jon are one of the more interesting youtube reactors out there,and since they dont do music reactions anymore on their own channel this is the only place where its possible to see them do that. Hopefully it can give both Enigma and Ashtyn/Jon more recognition on their respective channels,even though it was noted above here that it wasnt a priority.

There is one other channel I know of which hosts mainstream music reactions from Ashtyn and Jon, the channel is called "VadersPetPig" but he only has four song reactions on there from Ashtyn and Jon. Three of those are Florence + The Machine songs and one is a Lorde song. If there are any other channels with same type of content featuring Ashtyn and Jon reacting to mainstream music I haven't come across it personally.

You might remember madness tunes from the 2012 london Olympics

The nutty boys

With Baggy Trousers they are probably saying the lyrics so fast you don't have time to grasp what they are actually saying. So... "Duck duck Go" the Lyrics and watch it again. It'll all make sense !! lol Oh..btw.. If you didn't "get" Baggy trousers how on earth would you "get" Queens "I want to break Free" ? kzread.info/dash/bejne/mGiBxY-HibOukbQ.html It's Brit Humour at it's finest !!

Of all the reaction channels out there, this is by far the worst. Nothing personal, you're probably really nice people. You don't even have to like the songs. But, you have no emotion, shallow comments, no feeling, no passion for music as far as I can tell. You're in over your heads.
