"Father gets up late for work Mother has to iron his shirt Then she sends the kids to school Sees them off with a small kiss (Ah, ah, ah, ah) She's the one they're going to miss In lots of ways" As mom absolutely crumples the fuck out of dad's shirt and slaps the shit out of the kids hahaha. Madness really understood how to be on film! I think this might be my favorite pop song of all time.
Да, безумие не лечится XD Oh, great vid!!! Oooh, I loved the moment when Chas and Suggs are singing together ^_^ And OH! Barso with violin!!! Whooo-hoooo!!!
Jimmy Seville - creepy considering what has come to light regarding him. Love that Madness attempted to recreate the video. Memories: To s middle class white kid from the South, Ska was something unknown and exotic.
All of them adorably cute, especially the lead singer. I do have to say, though, THAT SET! Looks like Joanie Taylor's flat. I kept expecting Nan to pop out from one of the doorways and exclaim "Our house? What a load of ol' SHIT! Piss off outtevit with that racket!" LOL
It was written by them, it was released in late 1982 on the album The Rise and Fall which was seen as a concept album and a departure from their earlier stuff. Madness still wrote some great stuff after this but because they tended to write darker and less poppy songs their popularity started to decline Hope this helps
this was their first hit in the states...I loved this song in 83 when It came out here and I was 9...I went back when I got older and discovered the baggy trousers era stuff...one step beyond etc etc ..love it all...I even love their cover of scritti politti's sweetest girl which I believe may have been their last hit because it was 86 although it wasn't a hit over here. the song our house goes beyond their other stuff and enters that rarefied air of greatest songs of the 80s...come on Eileen, perfect way by scritti etc....I love rock and all the usual suspect rock and metal bands, but I'm a sucker for an amazing pop song that elicits a sense of nostalgia....when I heard our house as a kid it reminded me of my house and now it brings me right back to being a kid listening to it on mtv ....the opening is an amazing piece of music...certain intros (California girls by the beach boys, where the streets have no name by u2 for instance) are the best part of the actual song.
