I’d Do Anything (If I Could)
Oh my goodness! What on earth is going on here? This track has Foreman's signature all over it, instantly conjuring up images of Craggy Island. Did Zoom Boy wrap up an epic binge-watching session of Father Ted? The monotonous drone of "I’d Do ...
On the Beat Pete
'On The Beat Pete' is a lively and energetic ska song crafted by Lee Thompson. The song follows the life of a local police officer, Pete, as he goes about his day. With a playful nod to the style of Ian Dury, the song's lyrics list various ...
1978
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 ...
Brand New Beat
Misery
Chris: 'Misery' was Cathal again. I said, "Oh, we should get a barbershop quartet on this". And so we got this barbershop quartet to sing on the choruses, and they were really good. They recently got in touch with me, because one of them died, ...
The Return of the Los Palmas 7
Clive Langer has revealed that with every album, Madness was asked by Dave Robinson to record an instrumental. Following the success of their hit song 'One Step Beyond', he encouraged the band to create more instrumentals. 'Night Boat To Cairo' ...
Bullingdon Boys
Madness today unveil snap release 'Bullingdon Boys'. The seminal British pop band's first new music since 2016, 'Bullingdon Boys' is a self explanatory, barbed swipe at the charlatans, rotters and chancers at the top of the tree who have done ...
Tomorrow’s (Just Another Day)
How Can I Tell You
Chris: 'How Can I Tell You' was a Cathal song, but Suggs had something to do with the lyrics. I reggae'd it up a bit and did quite a good riff in the chorus.
Herbert
Suggs composed Herbert with Mike Barson. Two weeks before "Can't Touch Us Now", the album's release, the song "Herbert" was released as a teaser on 14 October 2016. It was accompanied by an animated lyric video in the style of the album's artwork.
Tears You Can’t Hide
Stepping Into Line
"Stepping Into Line" is another tune from Mr Hasler's pen. "John wrote the first half of the words, and I wrote the other half," says Suggs. Chris describes it as "my moment of glory, trying to keep it all together!" Well, it does race away ...

Elysium
You Keep Me Hanging On
Mark: People always say, I remember where I was and what I was doing, when I first heard that song. For me, *You Keep Me Hanging On', by The Supremes, is just one of those songs. 1967. Sitting in the kitchen, eating porridge, getting ready to ...
The Business
'The Business' is an instrumental reworking of 'Take It Or Leave It' from the album 'Absolutely'. 'Take It Or Leave It' was inspired by the name of a Roxy Music track and set to quirky music presumably inspired by Sixties spy films. Mike Barson ...
