Madness-House Of Fun

[McNabbulous]

A goofy band singing goofy songs and acting goofy while having a lot of fun.

What's not to like?

#1 on October 29th 1982

[jongriffinblues]

I get it now....this song is about a kid trying to buy condoms.

[mattboy1152]

@jongriffinblues Oh my god really?!? I had no idea! Now I see it!

[Magena001]

6ALMAS!!!

[jacobsenx2]

young ones <3

[ChinkyPhillipa]

No one cares what tv show brought you here, just shut up and enjoy the music.

[samsep2]

Yes, working class heroes in London and Madrid.

VIva Madness!!

[JaxJags87]

The Young Ones also brought me here. Love that show. Even thougn it's older than I am . xD

[TheScarecrowPirate]

searching google i found that suggs' last name was McPherson! Cant believe that suggs is a faaaaaaaaaaaaaar faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaar familiar :D!

[TheDellanator]

Oh my gosh I remember this song! and 0:45 hes hot

[MrsSuperaki]

Aν και παλιοοοο ειναι τερμα τελειοοοο :D

[Bonemeal2]

This was my personal favourite. "Our House" was good, but this was better. "One Step Beyond" is also a classic trip.

[RDorthyWayneright]

I had no idea what this song was about until recently. LOL

[1955illug]

SKIP TO 0:50.

[JacobTheRedWolf]

The Young One's brought you here, didn't they!?

[catcookie]

@JacobTheRedWolf Yup! They sure did!! :D

[Chobowan]

there was a time when british music didnt suck

[SeeburgMusic]

The original version didn't fade out at the end. There was an impromptu clip of a carousel organ playing a few bars of "Carolina in the Morning", which then faded out. The snippet was played backwards, but was still identifiable even so as being taken from the 1978 Columbia LP "Sidewalks of New York", which was an album of the only known existing Wurlitzer style 164 Band Organ. Evidently Columbia Records found out and were not pleased, as now all subsequent versions of this recording fade early.

[pga128]

God they surely know how to dance properly

[maggedude]

I got ere for the good music :|

[TheRightShip]

the young ones brought me here, and i'm glad they did. They're level in radness.

[SWI0001]

@TheRightShip Have you got any lentils?

[TheRightShip]

@SWI0001 south african lentils?

[SWI0001]

@TheRightShip Been a while since I watched haha xD



[TheRightShip]

@SWI0001 you should definitely watch it all again ;)

[SWI0001]

@TheRightShip damn right! I will watch it now

Long live the 80's

Until 1989 2089 etc

[gsank1]

Suggsy was so kick ass in 1980...

Man,- I wanted to be that guy when I was 10 !!

[shitweasel2035]

ahhh Young Ones...



[pedroassuncao67]

if this was a dog, it would have been a good dog :D

[PatHasACat]

Madness sure loves houses

[TheStudioSEB]

@PatHasACat Then again, who doesn't?

[CorvusCorone68]

@PatHasACat houses are a symbol of so-called civilization and madness is not so common in the wild

[georgia00ful]

best, best , best, best song ever.

[ShadowOfDestroyer]

Thumbs up if : Youtube Poop: The King Gets McDonalds brought you here!

[IloveyouAndyC]

I saw this on spicks and specks.......

[VdubEXwhYZee]

[DarkwingDen]

@VdubEXwhYZee samplers and so-called economy crisises did

[kelltwoot]

0:50 to 1:02 is my favourite part

[ISeeSickPpl]

htey must have been the inspiration for the bloodhound gang..

[iuno777]

[astrophelnoelle]

[crocodile2545]

[pellypates]

[TheProfessorMeow]

[MrTNTDinamita]

[heavenly102]

[keddw]

Falkland Island thieves???? There are some peculiar people on Youtube

[snowjet14]

Very unjolly for a song called "House of Fun".

[Koldskael]

[gereorth666]

[OleeJsemNatalka]

My first song I heard from Madness and still is my most favourite ... :) GO MADNESS, GO! :D

[AngryDave113]

I haven't seen this video in ages. I think I first saw it on ALtv.

[Pekezuz666]

Just so that you know this song is about buying alcohol underage.

[screamindimon]

When I was just a tot,I used to love trying to do their goofy dances.Madness vids always sent joy to my heart.

[pivotman64]

i want an armchair car!

[antonpungunger]

I'm guessing most people here don't understand that he's trying to buy condoms... so funny with all the comments being about random stuff barely even associated with anything but the lyrics not the meaning of the songXD

[Milenaplaygirl]

I heard it on ANIMAL PLANET...Since then I love this song :D

[mariaFernand4]

@Milenaplaygirl same here!

[Milenaplaygirl]

@mariaFernand4 Hahaha it's very cacthy :))))



[mariaFernand4]

[Bluehusky27]

[jimthabest]

[JackCrafting]

ANIMAL PLANET!?!?!?

[DarkDXZ]

62 people are not welcome to the house of fun.

[ABCKenners]

Where are the pacifist in holland and the world today?

[OneThirtyEightMK]

KEEP IT SKIN! FUCK NAZIS!

[lincbond442]

I used to hear this on KROQ back around 1983. Been a Madness fan ever since.

[mrchillie77]

very crappy quality but very nice song!

[mcstuv]

I watched this on animal planet did you

[VictimsofaDown11]

1:25 Green Man?

[josiegrahamdc]

Damn, I had the worst crush on the lead singer when I was a kid. I still think he's hawt.

[56ZacCameron]

I had watched this a year ago and liked so I wanted to listen to it again, but most of the lyrics and the name of the band escaped me so I ended up searching "british roller coaster music video condom" which yielded this as the top result. +1 for the Internet.

[TheSweet567]

respect from Holland

[TheChristianGordon]

ＳＨＵＴ　ＵＰ　ＡＮＤ　ＥＮＪＯＹ　ＴＨＥ　ＭＵＳＩＣ！

╭∩╮（︶︿︶）╭∩╮

[Gasoline85]

Only Madness could make a catchy song about buying condoms. XD

[HODAY123]

חחחחחחחחח לייק יא חתיך <3

[gogolplex74]

Madness, pretty accurate band name

[TreyRoque]

My cousin's 16 today. For some reason I thought of this....

[glaaasje]

wtf... :P

[CrazyRealtur12]

filmed in australia

[KillMeisterholland]

Love the song, but this particular vid I dislike, the sound quality is to poor.

[asienlatierra]

joie de vivre

[DevilBoyDoc]

pure brilliant

[Slaya0Zombies1243]

our house of fun

see what i did thar?

[stavyros]

@Slaya0Zombies1243 i see what you did there

[555Nato]

@stavyros ,i rest my case.Where.There

[555Nato]

@Slaya0Zombies1243 ,one step beyond.I see ya thar

[8sackboy]

I love the dance they do 0:50 to 1:02 hahahaha

[teone2011]

this is fuckin magic, so far from a classic two-tone or first/second wave ska, but yet so great!. Madness is an english institution, they shuold have gained a lot of prizes and should have worked with Monty Python.

The only band that on the edge between underground and pop, pushed it over the limit, simply amazin'!

[Lillepjusk]

This song is SCARY!

[s8n333x2]

ahh the birth of ska punk ;)

[555Nato]

@s8n333x2 ,what about the Specials."This town ahaaaaa........".or, Fun Boy Three"The Lunatics."No nuclear the cowboy told us

And who am i to disagree

'Cos when the madman flips the switch

The nuclear will go for me"

[vaadaenmacchi]

the fun starts at 0:51 when they start dancing in the store.

[ss3cleric]

My GF said my latnet English accent gets a lot stronger when I sing along.

[aris1987kakioussis]

Ha...I cant believe noone made this joke yet... Oh well...THIS IS MINE NOW

Madness....THIS IS fun :D xD or Justin Bieber...THIS IS MADNESS !! AND I LOVE IT

[Audimaxel]

Madness! Ich liebe es! Das beste!

[Fenul]

59 people don't know how to dance.

[harpo103]

The song is about a 16 year trying to buy condoms.

He is using metaphors and colloquollisms to try and get his point across to the shopkeeper, but, he is embarssed and is getting interrupted by folks that he knows who are stopping inot the shop to buy things.

Listen to the words.

It's about growing up and having fun with sex!

[bmbenblog]

@harpo103 thanks!!! i'm pushing 40, so this song has a history for me, but i never knew that!

[BlackSkyThunder]

@harpo103 In my opinion this song is more about a whorehouse.... Welcome to the house of fun now I've come of age, he is 16 and he is going to get some bitches... But it's true that in this video they are in some kind of shop which doesn't make any sense, in any case sex is not always fun, so many nasty consequences

[Meansofviewing]

@BlackSkyThunder Yeah, so many nasty sexually transmited deceases as well... like pregnancy.

That happended to a girlfriend once, the docters tried very hard to remove the tumor, luckily it wasn't malicious.

[BlackSkyThunder]

@Meansofviewing I don't understand what's the tumor you're referring to

[Meansofviewing]

@BlackSkyThunder I believe fetus is the name for the tumor tissue.

[BlackSkyThunder]

@Meansofviewing Yes, it's true; in some cases a fetus can be a tumor and when he is born is a cancer in the world; in fact, you are a clear case of it; your mother should have thought about it; you are a legal killer man from the XXIst century and you seem to be extremely proud of it,

[BlackSkyThunder]

@Meansofviewing You're repugnant

[Meansofviewing]

@BlackSkyThunder

Repulsive would be a better description.

[Dasclsad]

@harpo103 Heh, i will be embarassed too, if when i ask for controceptive and a bottle of beer whole shop crew and people inside start dancing around me and doing mad things :D

Great video and lyrics.

[whirl103]

This song is about prescription drug abuse. Genius.

[balioffering]

How cool're those horns...especially at the start in the shop!!!

[SWI0001]

The video's madness!

[emmykaninchen]

if anyone come into my home, i say "welcome to the house of fun" :'D

this song is awesome & this band too !

i like the band's name :3

[discotimelord]

This film clip is absolutely hysterical! lol I love it!

[Nadcu92]

Thumbs up if you've noticed 1:31 - the weirdest frame in the weirdest but best clip ever!

[JustLikeTheOtherDay]

I wish I could have that much fun in making an epic song D:

[vanillaorchid]

A song about trying to buy condoms.

[Nihilianth]

Heh-heh-heh, you Brits are goofy. :D

[jackhorton1000]

funny buggers, great song

[crusher540]

i loved this song ever since i saw the young ones :D

[KhylerNevra]

@crusher540 Same here, the songs great, the shows fantastic.

[MrSuperbatman12345]

@crusher540 thumbs up if you bob up and down when listening to this

[JamesTKirkCobain]

This band formed in 1976 believe it or not, and they are still around and have a new album coming out soon.

[Nadcu92]

One of their best songs in one of the scariest clips I've seen.

[EvilToaster77]

2:19 - 2:34 what rollercoaster is that? =P

[SKAownsme]

dont care what other people say, i care what ska say

[FlawShow]

Uke arrangement for this great song is now up at scorpexdotnet/Uke.  Go on....have a go at it!

[Kuckuc12]

Suggs is sooooo cute!!!!!!! :)

[JustLikeTheOtherDay]

Oh so much fun :D

[brandoncipelle]

I wonder what they are singing about . I just wonder ...LOL oh well off to buy condoms for some strange reason . I just felt the urge too.

[xr6lad]

And I right - I seem to remember the band playing this song on the comedy show, The Young Ones..in the 80's.

[83Sanary]

De loin le meilleur groupe de ska de tous les temps !

[lizzybombom]

i love madness true brittish stuff none off the american rubbish

[thisiscoolsoundtv]

check "sunny weather" on my page for the 2011 version of madness!!

[groinhat]

Is it sad to listen to Madness? Who are we to judge?

All we can say for certain is that when the world ends Jesus and/or Mohammed will kick fuck out of anyone who can't mime the sax parts from One Step Beyond or Night Boat to Cairo.

[DooWopification]

One of their best! :)

[edgicali]

[Raizo83]

@shawze94 That is funny.

[danacnguyen]

@shawze94 HAHA

[Matzzzon]

I wish everyone could be as positive as these lads! This is nothing but a musical Monty Python. I love it. Reminds me of carefree adolescence...But that's not the only thing: music and their antics are STILL working.

[james101k2]

[creativeforce11]

[L0ND0NITE]

Best of British eccentricism. Absolute Madness.

[Crosseyedbadgerspit]

@L0ND0NITE Yes, yes they are.
