Madness - Cardiac Arrest

[MoveOverCasanova]

2:52 -- bedders looks a bit like "once more it´s not me who´s in the spotlight"..))

[MoveOverCasanova]

1:56 - chas smash plays that coming of a heart attack almost painfully realistic...

i could watch that stuff all day, absolutely priceless!!!

[MoveOverCasanova]

madness is really the ultimate entertainment, it is like monty python and the beatles in one, absolutely amazing and unique

[magrudergrinder23]

If only pissed off people listened to this song, or Madness in general. The world would be a much more cheery place.

[poulter27]

time to chill out before you go and have a cardiac arrest.

listen to what they say its not a game they play lol

[lincbond442]

Madness videos were always fun and inventive. I will never get enough of them.

[LostYouJust]

@lincbond442 I'm pretty sure dislikes are from people who like it but want to make genius insults towards people who don't like it

[MrJconnolly1916]

how can fourteen people not like Madness, there excellent

[manfromregina]

What band needs their own cams ,when Lcity has all you need.

[MrShinigami7]

[Imnotvanni]

Best music/video intro ever!

[JustLikeTheOtherDay]

Makes me smile every single time :D

[suprapoowa]

Priceless, timeless, brilliant!!!

[Clearhighlighter]

Bad sounds

[neil73]

This video is a perfect historical example of a normal day on a London bus in the early 1980's: Everyone spontaneously bursting out in song. Bus conductors who are part-time saxophonists. Xlophones in breif cases in case of inpromptu jams with Joe public.

Today in London, everyone is miserable and don't talk to each other; they avoid each others glances on the bus or tube.

London needs to cheer up! Come one Boris! Do something!

[Noodles37UK]

@neil73 They were really cold in 86 when I went to see The Damned. My wee sister now lives in Muswell. Your comment has totally cheered me up.

[neil73]

@Noodles37UK Glad to be of service!

[heybuddyheybuddy]

@neil73 Yes! lets all sing on the tube! vote for suggs as mayor! maybe if we have a good old sing on the bus we'll will bring back the 80s

[neil73]

@heybuddyheybuddy It would be great wouldn't it? Actually, I don't even live in London, but I've been there enough times to not be classed as a tourist and still go down visiting friends on the odd occasion! Next time I'm down, I expect nothing less than what you suggest!

[heybuddyheybuddy]

@neil73 nor do i. but i live near enough, and go into town pretty often. ill try to get the busses feeling the beat

[SmartieRockz]

@neil73 yea Lol! If people in every community were like the people on the bus, the world would be a much better place!

[USADylan]

@neil73

Today you would be observed by approx. 25 CCTV cameras and arrested for disturbing the local Muslims..

[stevobath]

@USADylan So true!

[chaserobertson]

@neil73 "Boris"?

[superkeith1996]

Great Song One Of Their Best By Far. Thumbs Up If You Agree!

[Gunnercv]

[razermantis13]

[mfctom300]

[MickBirdPF]

<3 madness

[Lauakska]

[kevyk999]

FUCKING CLASS TUNE !!!

[CiIDriveDeCoach]

This make me want to learn the Saxaphone...

[Tsax2012]

@CiIDriveDeCoach you should. the saxophone is the most amazing instrument ever. It makes you fly. (reference to their song Baggy Trousers)

[lcozzarelli]

@CiIDriveDeCoach I totally agree-- I usually hate saxophone in pop (Kenny G, 1980s 'top 20' crap with those godawful "burnin' sax" solos ) but the way they use the sax in Beatles songs (Savoy Truffle, Got to Get You Into My Life, Good Morning, Good Morning) and in this ska stuff is a bit of awwroight.

[theinfideluk]

@lcozzarelli I was having that very conversation with someone yesterday! Sax used to make me run and hide, esp Kenny G an Curtis Steiger's music... the stuff o nightmares..... Then there's Madness, Floyd, Beatles and it rocks!

[dojawizard420]

1:33-1:49 that shit is sick

[freepepsicola]

I always thought that he died at the end of the song :( Love it though.

[myasmate]

Doctor told me I'd have one of these if I wasn't careful.Can't stop singing this song now.

[FenderTK421]

12 people schlarb the big dode

[TheViejobober]

SKASKA!

[sameoldfitup2008]

BNP

[garlic287]

I want to take my Cadillac to london. Maybe add some rims and subs to it before I leave.

[aloywkd]

12 people use flora

[nicazzo]

1:34 best dance ever :P

[densaner77]

I was late for work the other day and this bloody (good) song kept going through my head!

[mobyboy]

Such a British grace !

[DSilsbury]

I'm that man!!!

[ThePatJennings]

This video is just not true. It never showed where they waited 2 hours for a fucking London bus and then it broke down before the next stop and the paki conductor abused the passengers for its misfunction while the negro driver went to hte pub!

[impablomations]

This is the song that I had on mp3 player when I had my 1st heart attack lol

[2luscious4this]

!!!~NICE ONE~!!!

[whatgarage]

i love the face pulled right at the end :D XD

[Lhosteshar]

made me smile

[montyite]

At 0.37 the man sits on the right front side of the bus but at 0.41 he's at the left rear of the bus. Oops - a director's mistake!

[Eddyvanjones]

@montyite or beacuse hes in madness

noob

[montyite]

Respond to this video...

He's got to hurry

Got to get his seat

Can't miss his place

Got to rest his feet.

He did it in 4 seconds!

[Docv400]

@montyite

Nope!

He gets on at the back and sits on the left, where he stays.

[montyite]

@Docv400 I guess when he gets on, it's at the rear. Hard to tell. You're probably right - not this is bothering me! LOL

[Docv400]

@montyite

Doesn't bother me either ;o)

It's one of the old 'Routemaster' buses, takes me back a bit...

[montyite]

@Docv400 I wouldn't know - never lived/visited England! I like the ambulance sirens though!

[jchatoyer]

@montyite He hasn't moved, thecamera's filming from the front to back at 0.37, at 0.41 it's looking from the back to the front. All Madness in this vid is planned :)

[montyite]

@jchatoyer Duh! Now I'm goin' to have a cardiac arrest! :P

[MEGAHEADsnr]

brilliant

[MoveOverCasanova]

"pull yourself together now, don´t get in a state" -- funny lyrics can be so simple,

and simple lyrics can be so funny -- its a gift to deliver such stuff!

[novitass1]

great song ska ska ska ska ska ska ska ska ska ska ska ska this is madnesssssss

[TheBodthemod1]

[billyconnearly]

I absolutely loved this - very clever writing, nice chords, excellent arrangement and, as usual, Amazing Video!!

[missingandy]

[Joaqphoenixlver]

I love this song so much, I saw Madness Friday night OMG!! They were brilliant my fiance adores them and he was like a little kid bouncing around. I fancy suggs and Friday night he looked amazing.

[polkadot2020]

[hirschl1205]

Great show

[Boingy72]

brings better times this song. top tune

[britcomfan247]

Man, people could learn so much from this nowadays! like rad6666 says, heed the message and relax once in a while!

[3100merlin]

it was banned by the bbc in case it caused distress to any body with heart complaints it was 1981 and it was the beeb chas is my cousin that how i know ps ban only lasted two weeks

[DrOetker14]

i want to sit on a bus with a xylophone now so i can play this

[rad6666]

A real messaege in here...... Heed it

[lordeggo]

this makes me wana dance like an idiot. The song has a good msg but to see it played out is hillarious.

[jazzmund69]

And yeah, this song is about a guy who died in front of Chrissy Boy on his way to work. True story !!!

[jazzmund69]

Its Chas Smash and Suggs dancing by the way

[jazzmund69]

1:35, great dancin on the bus!!!!!!!!!!!

[ArthurGanate]

LOL he's having a freakin seizure!!!

[ManoloyBenitoCorp]

@jazzmund69  jajajajjaja

[chapsticklolz]

epic band, epic song, epic video, what more could you ask for from madness :) luv u chrissy boy! xxx

[Vovivacsa]

The best part of this clip, is the guy at 1:34 who is dancing in the background. :D

[MarekMaty]

I agree...

[mejjjan]

Agreed:L x

[path48]

@Vovivacsa thanx, never noticed that before..I think it`s Suggs, very Chaplinesque

[Apprenticewidow]

@Vovivacsa Hahahahaha, I wish I could do that!

[alexander66sir]

This song is written based on a true story of a guy who was friend of the band and died this way...

[WrongRoadRailways]

I don't think so - if it was it would sound more sad like 'Embarrassment'

[Kugerfang]

I agree. IMO, the song's just a fun catchy tune about how you shouldn't take life too seriously.

[rudy81]

yer arse! lol

[lvn4life]

One of my favorites! "Were so sorry we told you not to hurry"!!!

[bluestar66677]

peter caraher ha ha

[badturkali]

what is cardiac arrest ?

[kirkbyla]

eer a heart attack

[nezzy14]

it is when the heart stops pumping blood... this can happen due to a heart attack, loss of blood, shock, etc... a heart attack is when the heart does not get enough oxygenated blood due to a blood clot in the coronary artery... this could cause the heart to go into ventricular fibrillation (irregular beating) or ventricular tachycardia (heart beats above 180bpm), or pulseless electrical activity (beating but no blood to pump) or flatlining (no electrical activity or beating)

[SOCKSONALINE]

you bell.

and let me guess what the next question will be ...

whats a bell

hahahaha

[Laras420]

awesome album this one

[fedokosmokrator]

The music from 1:33 to 1:40 is familiar to me from somewhere else but I can't remember where!

[sirdoccy]

0:00 Night boat to Cairo!

[insectosocial245]

si tienes mucha razon jejeje

[lochzo]

1.23 / 1:23 = Delboy? :P

[xXhelpXx]

My most favourite by Madness :) LOL, I love the lyrics. Maybe I´m a bit morbid but I just love the way they put a lyrics about heart-attack into song like this. I mean, it´s so dancy and makes you wanna sing along :D I find it kinda funny :)

[McLarenMercedes]

the song on the album actually ends on a downnote with: "there's nothing more we can do...." and the protagonist dies as his last heartbeats ends the song

in this video he just repears the refrain

but sure, I agree, it's a catchy song about a serious matter

very Madness

[TheQuiet1]

Ace! Brill! Skill! Surprised it never made the top ten.

[billydai]

the old videos are so much better, the new ones are always so much more cynical

[smithjames1977]

Madness was brill and still goin strong, this was one of my fav's from the boys thanx 4 the post fella !!!!

[slagmilkcard]

This song was inspired by MC Chas Smith's father's repeated heart attacks. It tells the story of a workholic who dies of a heart attack.This was banned by BBC Radio 1 because of its lyrical content. Such lines as "gasping for the hot air, but the chest pain it won't go" were deemed unsuitable for its national audience.

[rallyingtcp]

missed that at the time but they did play it on the top 40 on a sunday night, I know I got it on tape??

[hoobika]

maybe michael jackson should of listened to this song sooner...

[jack037907]

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[xstephbertx]

yaknow, when I found out he'd died this song came straight into my head XD

[Distillation1]

Maybe Micheal jackson didnt know of this band. To be quite honest Micheal Jackson's songs will always have place in my heart for them. =]

[lochzo]

lmaooooooooo

[thatDAMMasian]

@hoobika didnt he die of overdose of some drug?

[1stLadyLazarus]

dont take me away frm my Suggs.

[PIymouth]

I want one of those briefcases.

[dirtydodger]

Any word on the wife and kids?

[thregar]

they did alright on the life insurance

[dirtydodger]

Good to hear.

[ILBREN7]

Look at the dude in the doorway at 1:33. At first, he's just standing there. Just another day on the commute to work, right? But when the xylophone solo kicks in he starts groovin'! Too funny!

[TOYDOLLSKID]

lol. i think its woody

[hellohandgunxx]

man, these guys are awesome
