Madness - Sweetest Girl

[tarrker]

Anyone else click this image because of the guy doing shinto archery?

[meryflate]

hahahahah ... this song is gay touched ^^

[jonathanevans1990]

man this is bad

[KeeKeeDi]

@jonathanevans1990 Of course it's bad, you were born in 1990. You grew up with advanced technology.

[styreen]

Heeey, it's Jason Bourne singing!

I always loved this song. I remember it from almost a quarter of a century back when I saw one of the gang sliding from right to left through that very impressive location. That and how much I envied Suggs for his haircut. Damn I wished so much to have that coif.

I like Madness' cover much much MUCH better than the original. Same goes for "Must be love".

Another thing is that Madness had great clips. They gave great visual value for money.

Thanks for posting!

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

[emilyxant]

Another cheap video---don't care, love it as I love all Madness videos :d

[nothingnamezero]

@emilyxant HOW can it be cheap! It has floating dresses ;O magic is expensive.

[Werewolf9098]

@nothingnamezero hahaha only tie it on some strings, here's the magic :D

[daypeshmodd]

I ADORE this stupid & mad video! The only thing missing is the legendary Madness dance.

As much as I love this band and their cover of The Sweetest Girl, I still prefer the original by Scritti Politti.

[MadnotMad79]

MaDdEsT GrOuP iN aLl ThE WoRlD :)

[freudastaire]

Nice but not so good as Scritti Politti's original.

[mbcloninger99]

Bedders issss ssoooo gorgeous... achhkk.

[citizenhal]

At 1:01, that guy walking in the shot is at the beginning of the Uncle Sam video lol. I have only just noticed that.

[TOYDOLLSKID]

@citizenhal buddy holly looking mahfugga :D

[modsheff1]

[clivas1970]

these fellas deserve an oscar they the best since i was just a kid

[metalshadowmario4]

15 and can't get enough of Madness

[snickerdoodleton]

I WISH THEY TOUR THE US SOON! i love these guys!

[GuyKotMan]

16 and cant stop listening to madness music

[MehefinHeulog]

also

Woody had the best hair cut of any drummer

ever

so there

[MehefinHeulog]

wonderful cover

and excellent vid

OH WHERE HAVE THE YOUTUBE STARS GONE!!!!!

darn it

infinity stars plus one

[mnaran]

This was their only cover to date... The original was by Green Gartside/Scritti Politti years earlier. This probably helped put them on the map!

[DJenerateBeats]

@mnaran What about "It Must Be Love"?

(D')

[flappingGoose]

@mnaran it must be love, one step beyond, madness, the whole of the dangermen album. one step and madness were covers of prince buster.

[Rumpio]

i used to see that middle backing singer work with lots of groups - I always wondered who she was...

[FranHu75]

how comes this brilliant music peaked only at no. 35 at the British charts??

[gerardnmikeyrock]

because the charts mean nothing....this song should have been much higher...dare i say it number 1.

[FranHu75]

Gerard, I completely agree with you

[TrollCatcher2010]

@FranHu75 because the british prefer crap music, and they love to be disappointed with their favourites

[amgk11]

en todo el mundo las moscas prefieren la mierda y las abejas las flores.

[marklp1]

Just look at what makes no.1 and ther in lies your answer!!!

[TrollCatcher2010]

madness was one of them rare bands that could hit the top tens with actually good music and without fake plastic lyrics - well done boys, jobs a good un! 5 stars everytime

whats number one at the moment?

[marklp1]

who cares???

Music had died a death since the 90's...anything after that is plastic pop music fuelled by pricks like simon cowell who just want to make money!!!

Madness were probably one of the best bands of all time. That era of Madness,The Specials,The Clash,The Jam etc......was brilliant......REAL MUSIC with REAL LYRICS!!!

[goldie103103]

Does anyone know where this was filmed?

[CampbellTrain]

@goldie103103 It was filmed at Kenpton Park Waterworks.

[goldie103103]

Thank you for that. I thought it was Kempton or Crossness.

[goldie103103]

@CampbellTrain I went to Kempton today, great place to have a look around.

[missMaudieMaud]

Thanks :)

[thearchives2009]

the guy on drums is Daniel Woodgate

[missMaudieMaud]

What is name that man who is playing on percussion?

[cintiamartinez]

she's suggs wife already!

[daypeshmodd]

@cintiamartinez I know you posted this a long time ago, but plz tell me who you're talking about? The girl in the red dress? The one he married really young?

Also, this is a Scritti Politti song (for the many of you who don't know - don't mean you Cintia), and Green's ex is rumoured to be in the video - smth he did not appreciate btw. I always wondered who SHE would be? Anyone knows? One of the Black girls or the girl in red dress?

[MomoTheBellyDancer]

Believe it or not, but the original by Scritti Politti is perhaps even weirder. I like it how the Maddest Gang gives it a slight dub vibe (complete with fake melodica!)

[earjams1]

It's Gringott's bank!

[goldie103103]

I hated this song when I first heard it but I love it now!!

[monammad]

tommy tees ma

[blaise998]

lol guiz ju have to wash this mpvie wen high I AM SRRSLY wooo

[TotalyOzzFan]

Mg. i love that part... ;DD 2:15

[dandreboy]

A Scritti Politti Classic Originally,but a brilliant cover.

[djbethell]

Sacrilege.

[cutelittlecaramelkid]

great song....heard this song for the first time in college on college radio here in the states back in 1985-86. From the "Mad Not Mad" album....found out also that it was a remake originally done by Scritti Politti...

[Dilaralovesnatural]

really great ^^

[0586730O2]

love the key change at 1.45 1.46

[OrbvsTomarvm]

Maybe my favourite madness song, which is a VERY difficult decision to make.

I sing it to my 4 month old daughter =)

[ponymuzzy]

cool

[audioslave2009]

always loved madness ;)

[bradley2brad2]

The bloke with the accordian from uncle sam is called hector, mike barson's replacement.

[Uitermark]

@bradley2brad2 You're right that he is the replacement of Mike Barson, but his name is not Hector, but Seamus Beaghen

[bradley2brad2]

the bloke with the accordian he is the news man from uncle sam!

[robwwww]

Give Madness that overdue Brit Award. Superb show at Glastonbury!

Can't imagine life without their tunes!!

[bradley2brad2]

yeah same if Madness never formed i think i would listen to some shitty hip hop!

They do deserve a Brit award! Glastonbury was great!

[vegbloke]

Knighthoods all round, long overdue.

[fep70]

Anyone recognise Caron (soul 2 soul) Wheeler?

[tindrum]

Cute one in the back of Afrodisiak, oh yes!

[wilzboi4lyf]

[stamford66]

I'm 44 and I couln't agree with you more!!!!

[stamford66]

I'm 44 and I couln't agree with you more!!!!

[scheiSSkind77]

@wilzboi4lyf

I'm 12 and what is this?

[roderm]

@scheiSSkind77

Madness!@#%&@#

[ChineseSkirt]

@wilzboi4lyf I'm 16, well, let's get married.

[Sandywolves]

this is so cool. Cause its strange 8D

i love every single song of madness!

and every video!

[loppi123]

This used to frighten me as a child. Brilliant song and vid!

[stuartk319]

Decent Cover of the song, Very Clever Video even near retirement. Madness = Creative, Clever Geisers - Fair Play to Them. I have all their albums living here in Whitebridge, NSW, Australia.

[0586730O2]

love the scene at 1.30 to 1.36 with Lee almost walking in to dress ha ah

[CampbellTrain]

That is funny, but I think the funniest thing about that part is Suggs - he looks like he has to tolerate the whole thing, like he's not having fun at all, which makes him look funny in result, especially when he's embraced by Lee.

[0586730O2]

shame it only hit no.35 released when they were fading out of fashion, still, one of my favourites

[bradley2brad2]

I dont think Madness should have faded out of fashion but at least they are still making songs

[0586730O2]

yeah i agree, some of their new stuff is good, but it will never get the publicity of their stuff first time round unfortunately

[0586730O2]

one of my absolute favourites

[st0rmforce]

I don't like this one. I don't think the song is very madness and the video is strange, but not in a good way.

I prefer their earlier stuff and their latest stuff.

[CampbellTrain]

This video is filled with funny moments from Lee spinning for no aparent reason to the big suit (note Suggs' legs flying up when they spin at the end of the scene forecasting their fall).

I read it was filmed at Kempton Park Waterworks.

[raxi24]

My mum is the woman in red by the way

[rokerroar]

I love your mam

[samooht007]

1:04 and 1:05 hehe nice!

Gut gut :)

[coffycup75]

My fiance just sent me this video link. Put a BIG smile on my face!

[ChanceEncounters]

Thats cos you are My *SWEetEsT Girl in all the woRld* I Love You! Your John *kIsSes* XXX

[Mortimore008]

Thanks do u could upload rise and fall and white heat by madness. If possible.

[imran78]

Brilliant. I'd almost forgotten this one.

[madnessbeyond]

don't you have the dvd ''divine madness'', all the video's what they have made.....Brilliant!
