Its beautiful chaos! MADNESS - One step beyond REACTION 

Fun bit of trivia: "Well listen, Buster," is a shout out to the originator of the song, Prince Buster. (Madness is actually the title of one of his songs, too, and the source of the band's name!)

Madness videos are an art form in their own right. AND I suspect that the total cost of all of those videos was less than the catering cost for "Thriller" 😆

I'm American and I was a little kid when Our House came out, and it was an unforgettable sound and music video. Years later when I discovered Monty Python, I realized where their visual humor came from.

This is their early years ( to me, their best years) from a fantastic album, when they were connected to the band they so admired (said Suggs), The Specials (Two Tone). Our House came much much later. Madness and The Specials... what a fantastic combo! RUDE BOY...RUDE BOY! lol I'm a huge fan, from the other side of the pond.

I was heart broken when I learned this was a cover.

That is not suggs that does the intro that's cathal smyth aka chas smash. Where have you been in the last 45 years!!!!!! Madness are still going today. So crawl out from under that rock and listen.

Prince Buster 1964 one step beyond

Madness stole all of their songs from Jamaica but it's all good, we all enjoyed their songs when I was a kid.

This was one of the first videos I ever remember seeing on MTV when it first came on the air and they played videos continuously.😂👍

You didn't recognise Suggs because it wasn't him. He was doing the kind of chuggadugdug in the background.

Loved the look on your face at the beginning Harry!!!!

This should be Britain's National Anthem! We love the Nutty Boys here in the States!

Night Boat to Cairo is my favorite Madness song.

So many Madness songs. Takes me right back to my London childhood. I love "Embarrassment" "My Girl" "Michael Caine" and "It Must be Love"

great song..

In this song, Suggs does nothing except dancing. The words are pronunced by Cathal Smith (or Chas Smash) the seventh Madness.

Their "Our House" is a favorite of mine. Check it out!

dances wildly

In the Ska genre, there are at least two other singles released in the UK in October 1979: "On My Radio" by The Selecter and "A Message to You Rudy" by The Specials ! This was followed in November '79 by The Beat's double single A-side "Tears of a Clown"/"Ranking Full Stop".

my buddy lived in this condemned church with an amazing sound system and he'd blast this song to get us up in the morning to go to school.. so good .. love the horns .. ska and the horns .. why nobody has a horn section anymore ? and heavy bass!!! thanks for the memories mate
