Madness - Sugar And Spice

[PillowSlept]

Through the years and Madness never lose his own sound, is amazing how they found the creativity for make good music. Always they'll be the best.

[1955illug]

THEY GOT SO OLD THEY ALSO GOT SO GOOD!

[PureCreedGaming]

big diffrence from this and "Baggy trousers" and "Our House"

[67macdonald]

awesome

[minadecrayon]

sure, a bittersweet song :)

[antisharp84]

what the fu*k is it?

[kristianbejb]

actually Barso is the greatest songwriter in British ska over 30 years

[KeeKeeDi]

This song was written by Barson on his divorce in 2008.

[madnessfan]

Stick yer Brit Award where the 'Sun & the Rain' dont shine ;)

[Greatest1980]

Lee is an imbecil....fucking love him!

[lloorr11]

I LOVE THE BRITS~!!!~YeaHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­H

[madsw08]

WTF???

[dirrrtygurty]

tune tune tune...i really dont know why madness keep getting overlookedat the shits...sorry brits...

[daveyplumhoff]

Madness, just utter Madness! Fantastico! ;)

[ImaniHekima]

This is one of the best they've done.

[GunGraveTZA2]

I LIVE IN GOLDERS GREEN =D

[Freeindividua2]

They are still together? BIG RESPECT

[rodrigoraulsuarez]

This is sad just as a tango lyrics. Great band.

[sourjazz]

The musical equivalent of a Patrick Hamilton novel. Gets my vote for Career Highlight.

[noritacochicha]

like it a lot.

[bag5y01uk]

The whole album is a work of genius. This is a band who just keep getting better. If people care to listen to the lyrics they might just realise that the material is pretty deep and often convey messages that make you sit up and actually think. What a simply brilliant band!!

[Mr1974simo]

Keep waiting for them to receive lifetime achievement award!! Long overdue!!

[U2rock08]

brilliant album

[U2rock08]

brilliant album 

[mnaran]

Brilliant and sublime.

[SuperXxniamhxX]

i love this song .... makes me cry :(

[gazwilwah]

Possibly the best record they have made since the 80's, classic Madness and as usual a great video.

[Gullatine5]

Probably the first video on youtube where the first page of comments I read does NOT have even ONE single hate message. It's very nice to see that at least this is a video that only the people who like it are visiting it or at least others are keeping the hate to themselves

[heru1966]

This is a brilliant song....great story telling, music fits it nicely.

[bluesfanno1]

sorry if I sound dumb, but I was wondering if Chas Smash is in this video? Is he the bloke in the wedding dress?

[madamebarso7]

@bluesfanno1 No Chas in this video its Thommo in the wedding dress x

[winkerwhelan]

When the world is going to shite you can rely on Madness to lift your spirits

[silverpimp007]

...oh ffs how many times this gang of nutters have made me laugh and been a brotherhood to support me in my hour of need - i have been their fan for... what.. 26 years ?... THANK YOU MADNESS...all of you .... i bow before you - you have always been able to put my feelings into words... thank you for all you have done for me...

[RICHARDCROSBY1]

Madness just amazing this song is a classic I think Madness are above the Brit Awards no award could do this Great band justice after 30 years classis songs great live shows

[Thongrim]

is it just me or does this song remind anyone else of Up the Junction by Squeeze, in a very good way I mean.

[bigbooful1]

@Thongrim just you by the looks of it

[RudeGirlM]

lol, shotgun wedding.

[JanEgbersNL]

It suprises me that the more I listen to madness, the more I see the intelligence in the lyrics. Madness is kind of known for its relatively innocent lyrics(Baggy trousers, almost everything on One Step Beyond and Absolutely really), but they can also write beautiful lyrics about touchy subjects(Cardiac Arrest, Tommorow's dream, Tiptoes, and many more). That also proves that Madness is much much more than a band for the working class.

[katoness]

@JanEgbersNL It sounds like you think the working classes have no profundity or depth,

[VuelveElMaestro]

I wonder who in the band writes these amazing lyrics.

[madamebarso7]

@VuelveElMaestro The Keyboardist Monsieur Barzo wrote this one

[MoveOverCasanova]

the drummer looks not one day older -- but suggs looks like he had one or two beers since the eighties

[noritacochicha]

its one of my favorites songs, great.

[madjen7uk]

reminds me of my firrst love a 16, panning to marry at a6, have kids at 21. Now we dont talk... far too much has been said ....

[ixisandsteve]

Madness the best!

[efnissien]

Liberty of norton folgate is probably their best album. The guys are on top of their game. And yeah I heard about it being about Mikes divorce, but quite a few of their songs have a dark under tone...

[madamebarso7]

@efnissien yep it sure was it is a very deep song but he hasnt gone too close with it tho as a few things have been changed but the emotion of it all has shown the best of madness amazing song and a great video

[gazwilwah]

Easily one of their best recordings

[madamebarso7]

yep the song is all about Mike Barson's marriage break up

[billabongodrum]

funny how the subject of divorce brings out the best pop songs

[madamebarso7]

Smash didnt appear in this becuase he was in Spain

[sazzarooneyjones8]

Strange that Chas Smash isn't in this but was back when they did children in need

[sadermoon]

exelente! Ü

[MaxEngel100]

sau cool

[MartianRude]

el sax su vestidO

cOol!!

genial

:D

i lOve madness

[missqueenie123]

madnesss were AMAZINNGG at wolves on the 17th!!! fantastiqueee!!!!

[BenPayne2k9]

@missqueenie123 They were amazing at London O2 aswell :)

[Mercurybeam]

Je suis heureux que Madness revienne. Ils sont uniques. Et si talentueux.

[andypalmtree]

My sister's on this. She's the shadow lady person.

[ChiuUmibloo]

@andypalmtree hahaha that's awesome :D

[derekrides]

Going to the Southend matinee Dec5? Really mad John Otways' band is playing Riga 300m up Milton Road that evening. I'm doing both!

Shame on Dixie for the bad language too.

[catastrophy2k8]

seeing these giys live!

[ben2265]

this song just gets stuck in your head alot boring !!

[jackshitgeorge]

I didn't mean it when I said I was an old git, but I need a new shed cause my tools are defiantly rusting away.

[MadnessDixie]

where's the fucking BRIT AWARD???

[granetok]

@MadnessDixie Madness doesnt need a Brit Award, they are cool without it, they stay the same

[missjacko1]

@MadnessDixie To be honest Dixie the brit awards are seen as a bit of a joke, Id say Madness dont need one they are cool enough.

[VladanDrapela]

Oi! Suggs and Madness. Great song.

[stickmandxxd]

LOVE! IT!

[Moxiesound]

this is a great track, and getting major airplay in Canada on CBC Radio 2. Reminds me of Pulp Disco 2000 :)

[xXhelpXx]

This song is pretty weird. That doesn't mean that it is bad....no way. I love it. When I listen to it my mood changes a lot. In the beggining it feels so nice "You were only 16 years And yet you took away all of my fears,

I held your hand and then I knew I was the one and only one for you" and then in that "And that sugar and spice

Everything was so nice

Now it's just not the same

It's bitterness and pain" part you get that heavy feeling in your heart. I think that it is genious, absolutely

[563421094]

This album sit's right up there with Jethro Tulls Aqualung - Abbey Road - Aural Sculpture from the Stranglers and many more - Great Work Lads and Lasses

[katoness]

aural sculpture a good album but to compare it to the liberty, come on it doesn't come close. I think u need to have a rethink.

[563421094]

You sound like an Ice Queen.............

[katoness]

Nah you just let me down easy.................

[akyriux007]

i Love Madness!!!!

son lo mejor de lo mejor

es mi sueño conocerlos

[RMBGnR]

[kasim001]

Funny Vid

Best Band

Good music

Keep moving

[MADNESSRULE2K8]

Absolutly Amazing Vid By The Greatist Band Of All Time

[ylaviv]

he was a cowboy in los palmas 7, a police in shut up (and maybe driving in my car, i don't remember), vampire in it must be love, bus driver in cardiac arrest, the mother in our house, some sort of guard in tomorrows just..., (to be continued)

Yes, DesGerell , your memory is intact.

[doctorwhodarleck]

One of the best songs of the album

[VESPACOL]

killer rabbit  lol

[jimlavery]

brilliant video

[VESPACOL]

i can be MaDnEsS member no 8 as i can play air guitar, drum etc lol

Love how suggs pushes his hat forward with his brolly its cool

[MadGirlAllie]

Good stuff.. nice one lads!!

[ylaviv]

BTW. Lee's wedding dress appeared in another video of Madness long time ago. He likes to dress to the occasion, so to speak... he was the female teacher on the educational channel in Ghost Train, he was also the bee in It Must Be Love... he had small angel wings in Baggy Trousers...and the list goes on.

Feel free to add.

[ylaviv]

Good to see that Madness has chosen well as to make a proper video of their new album's best song. That'd have been my choice too, if I were in their shoes.

[Madnotmad2]

Haha, another top Madness Video!

[bradley2brad2]

im loving the tweed suit and the song is briliant, likeing the wedding dress Lee

[BaggyTrousers]

Fantastic video in the best tradition of Madness videos. Lee has a touch of Bubbles DeVere about him, no offense Lee.

[nuttybex]

Love the miming - brilliant boys, nice once

[CampbellTrain]

I can see the rewind trick is repeated here like it was on Yesterday's men (during the intro of that song) with the card trick. It's a good technique, I'm using it in my upcoming In The City video.

But they accomplished that idea I had before I had! The instrument miming was an idea I was going for...and they beat me to it! Oh well - it is Madness after all. Let them at it!

[sirdoccy]

1:53 Suggs tipping his hat with a his cane. ^ ^

[VESPACOL]

Loved Thommo pointing to look at CB i think when there miming ,

Suggs smile after trick i can go on and on evry time i watch it notice something else lol

love it

[VESPACOL]

Awsome video loved every second made me laugh , love the no instruments and no singing , etc

Just plain MaDnEsS

[locodavee]

It's a great video but dust devil was a better song. I would have thought that close or bingo would have been better as new single

[Schlatman]

Good, delicate stuff.

The Liberty Of Norton Folgate also's a great album.

Schlatman

[HairManisEddie]

Release Idiot Child as a single aswell ;D

[craig8886]

Im sorry, it seems my suggesting of Carl having disappeared by virtue of magic has gone over some heads. Thanks anyway. Im going back in my box now. Not really- its just a figure of speech. I dont live in a box. Craig b.

[ownacow]

Ha! Utter madness :L

[craig8886]

Great video- some would say magic, whats with Carls disappearing trick though?

[MrSpeaker06]

Carl isn't in the video man

[craig8886]

Synonyms:

1. Disappear, fade, vanish suggest that something passes from sight. We watched him turn down a side street and then disappear. Fade suggests a (complete or partial) disappearance that proceeds gradually and often by means of a blending into something else: Colors in the sky at sunrise quickly fade. Vanish suggests complete, generally rapid, and often mysterious disappearance: A mirage can vanish as suddenly as it appears. Man.

[bradley2brad2]

the one doing the trick looks like Mark Bedford.

[bradley2brad2]

That aint Chris doing the Rabbit outta the hat trick that is lee thompson!

[crockofplot]

Rabbit out the hat = Lee ;)

[fluffydolly]

another great madness tune!

[bloodyrediron]

Brilliant video.

Wedding dress? Uhhhh no.ha ha

[LokosProduktion]

Nice video, I love it, better than Dust Devil

[IAMJWB]

love this song

[johndelarue10]

Yes, good song great video....still to soft a song to make a big difference in the world of today...but I love Madness !!

[Wilholme]
