Madness (2-Tone Version)
According to the back sleeve of One Step Beyond..., there are seven songs on each side, and at the end of side two, "Mummy's Boy" is swiftly followed by "Chipmunks Are Go!" Imagine the looks of glee on every young rude boy and rude girl's face ...
Hello Sun
Well, let’s have a good old knees up, eh! Sometimes, it’s unmistakably clear that Madness harbours a playful ambition to transform into your friendly neighbourhood Chas and Dave cover band or perhaps even a quirky cabaret act, ’The Last Rag and ...
Skylarking
My Girl
Elvis Costello, a former Stiff artist, unwittingly provided the musical backbone for “My Girl.” Mike Barson had gone along to the first Stiff Records package tour, which featured Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Nick Lowe, Larry Wallis, Wreckless ...
Land Of Hope & Glory
Not only did Lee write "Land of Hope & Glory," but he sang it with Suggs, getting just one or two lines in. There was never going to be any argument about that, though. As Clive says, "Lee's songs sounded great.
My Girl (Demo)
The demo version of "My Girl" was released on the B-side of the 12" version of "The Return of the Los Palmas 7", featuring Mike Barson on vocals. The track was recorded when Madness recorded thier first three demo tracks, The Prince and Madness ...
My Obsession
Chris: I've got so many songs that I've written with Lee that have never seen the light of day, and I didn't want these to get lost. In the end, a lot of mine and Thommo's songs ended up on the 'box set' version of the album. So what happened ...
Oh My Love
Chris: I've got so many songs that I've written with Lee that have never seen the light of day, and I didn't want these to get lost. In the end, a lot of mine and Thommo's songs ended up on the 'box set' version of the album. So what happened ...
Drip Fed Fred (feat. Ian Dury)
Kitchen Floor
Woody: 'Kitchen Floor' was the first of a bunch of songs I wrote with my brother Nick. He absolutely cannot stop writing songs. He makes things quite simplistic, and his songs can be monotone - he doesn't resolve melodic lines. But that's ...
Not Home Today
Written by Suggs and Bedders the song 'Not Home Today' has a reggae influence and is about how people make excuses to hide the fact that a family member has been sent to borstal or prison. This theme of a life of crime is also present in ...
Leon
Woody: I'd written a song that was a bit Kings Of Leon-ish, rough, straight, lots of guitar. It sounded fucking great. I played it to Nick, because I needed a melody and some lyrics. He said, "All I've got is a chorus: 'I feel like running out ...
You Said
Suggs says that my memory could be more precise with many songs he wrote with Mike. From what I recall, this tune was written by Mike in the days when we rehearsed in the disused dentist surgery in Finchley. Mike had the title and some of the ...
Culture Vulture
Okay, it’s been over 30 years in the making—well, not really. Though some might try to draw a strange connection to the song once heard in 1996 at Madstock, this is not that tune. The only common thread here is the title, 'Culture Vulture.' ...
Beginners 101
Barson, the band's strongest songwriter, has once again delivered a classic Madness track with a beautiful melody reminiscent of "The Sun and the Rain" or "Sugar and Spice." The lyrics explore themes of criminal activity, having fun, and ...
Big Time Sister
Chris: I've got so many songs that I've written with Lee that have never seen the light of day, and I didn't want these to get lost. In the end, a lot of mine and Thommo's songs ended up on the 'box set' version of the album. So what happened ...
