Time For Tea
Blue Skinned Beast
Tarzan’s Nuts
Practically an instrumental with a few lines of banter to kick it all off, it's hardly surprising that these days, the band has a very shaky recollection of how the song came about.
Black and Blue
Mike: I wrote 'Black and Blue' about breaking up with my missus, Sandra. We'd been married for a very long time. That song was about the breakup, and the relief, in some ways, when you've been stuck in the negative spiral that some ...
Lovestruck
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 ...
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 ...
What On Earth Is It (You Take Me For?)
An old track resurrected, previously known as "Pussy Galore," was written by Lee Thompson and first aired during "The Sound of Madness Tour" in December 2018. Unfortunately, the track heavily echoes the style of "Crunch! (Aka the Nutty Boys)" ...
If I Didn’t Care
Disappear
"Disappear" is a track composed by Suggs and Bedders for the Madness album "Absolutely". It is considered to be their most melodic creation and has a Motown-inspired sound. The song begins with a beautiful piano melody from Barson and ...
Tomorrow’s (Just Another Day)
Elysium
Shame and Scandal
Mike: A complicated tale of matrimonial misadventure penned on the island by none other than Sir Lancelot himself.
C’est La Vie
Madness has done it again! While it may not be a US number one, it has earned a spot on the B List on Radio 2. From the Act 1 introduction to the newly minted saxophone intro, "C'est La Vie" will have you hooked from the start. Lee's classic ...
One Step Beyond…
How different it might have been, though. In the early days, the band played "One Step Beyond" simply as a short instrumental introduction to the main set. Some nights, they played the theme from "Hawaii 5'0". Some nights, they played the ...
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 ...
Vietnam
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 ...
