    I had not heard of these guys. Thanks for the heads up - a recommendation is alwyas a good way to start.

    I love Madness, love ska, love 80s music! Cheers for bringing a great band to some more attention!

    Great band. great lens, and good to see the lyrics in writing - I never paid the words much attention before, quite interesting really, as Madness came from my neck of the woods in London!
    Here's some Angel Blessins for an enjoyable lens

    Fantastic lens, thank you. I've always loved their music but didn't know at all about their history. You learn something new every day!

    Great song by Madness....and at a time when baggy trousers weren't even a "fashion"!

    Oh wow! Madness! I loved this band when I was young and ska became the must type of dance and music! They also were my cousin's favourite band and surely one of the many reasons why I fell in love with England! Thank you so much for such a tribute to one of the most fantastic bands ever and this flash back in the '80s!

    Very nice lyrics lens, Tony. I like the way you did the background on the lyrics portion. Great videos too!

    LOL :) No it's a song silly, but I hate those pants hanging down to your knees looks. I don't know how they can't see it looks so stupid!

    I'm not particularly a fan of baggy trousers on young men -- especially when I can see their underwear. Oh, hello -- that's something else entirely. Oh sorry. Cute lens Tony!

    This song always makes me think of my school days - primary school days of course! One of my favorites from that era.

    Great lens for a great song by an exceptional band! The number of times I've listened to the Madness Singles Collection over the years! Brilliant, just brilliant. Have 5 stars for your troubles!

    Great lens! Packed full of information AND with pictures to keep you interested. I have to admit that I'm not a Madness fan but followed this link because you said, "If you like fun and energetic songs and music videos, I definitely recommend Madness." and I was thinking of my teenage son. I'll send him the link!
