Madness - Wings Of A Dove (A Celebratory Song)

[videospoon]

I love how at one minute in, when their dancing on the plane, on the far right in the red shirt, he's tugging his own shirt to make it look windy XD

[daydreambelivers]

i love the wings of a dove

[kathyagnew64]

wow luvin it

[sussexpenguin]

nutty boys forever

[0586730O2]

love it, should have been no.1 in UK, reached no. 2 in the charts

[beatlebird1]

chas smash is singing - first time I realised that in 30 years!

[gerretl]

@voicesoffear Before 9/11 you could stash a Transit van in your hand luggage, and no one would bat an eyelid. God forbid you went over your 200 duty free fags limit though. Armed police, strip search, the works.

[Wizardus86]

@gerretl yeah, flying was much more fun then. you could even smoke on a plane.

[altv1969]

Madness the greatest of the great my favourite group of all time,great songs great lyrics great videos and never take themselves seriously pure genius

[kobioor]

I love it!!!!!!

[popcur]

Heard this song first on WLIR, NYC Loved it, Still love it. that was the 80's.

[arkady714]

Bloody brilliant.

[TheLegoman1010]

MADNESS 4 EVA i saw them live at camp bestival this year they are so much better live but still madness rule!

[1dave68]

fun fun fun go and see these guys live they still tour absalutley brilliant

[GreenmanXIV]

O Lord send down a dove. with wings as sharp as razors. To cut the throats of them there blokes. That sell bad beer to sailors.

I love Camden Town.

[ISawRed123]

Madness is awesome!!! this song always makes me happy

[AnnAAngel1564]

A Celebratory ~Song

viva palesteina

[STefanos01]

[thegatheringdrum]

Aah, Madness never fail to cheer me up....they've got soul :)

[cleawalford]

@thegatheringdrum yeeeeees!

[jamwithmates123]

I'd love it if they played that song on every flight!

[cleawalford]

@jamwithmates123 could not agree more

[LouLou123555]

These guys are Legends and there video's are so funny no one are like them with funny humour...Sugg's you are my hero..x

[meatymeatymeathead]

mines lee thompson

[Biggy001]

continuity check - Transit van turns into Iveco van.

Madness still rock tho

[Wizardus86]

cause the parachute bit is from a commercial or tv-film of the time

any body has any clue what was it from exactly?

[spiggyholz]

@Wizardus86 It was from a French advert that Dave Robinson of Stiff (who Madness were signed to at the time) had bought the rights to. Don't know what the original ad was for though.

[SuperOmnicron]

@Biggy001 ...magnificent. still rocks!

[brathewatergame]

i like driving in my plane!

im satisfied i got this far!!!

lol =)

[potato73]

If this was out now it'd be at number 1 for about 2 months. Its so much better than anything in the charts today.

[rufusandburne]

if this if that...lol...the stones or dylan would beat it...lol

[mainface]

@rufusandburne if my auntie had bollocks she would be my uncle

[mejjjan]

Exactly, These Were People Who Made Music Because They Loved The Art Not For Fame Or Fortune, Which Sounds Incredibly daft, but thats the impression i get by this band. EXCELLENT SONG.

No Voice Synthesizers(if Thats wat There Called) or digital arsin about with tracks.

[Wizardus86]

'cause there was no "digital arsin" then

but i got your point there.

any music is better, if it comes from heart and who plays it loves makin music.

needless to mention that Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus-kinda music is the total opposite (they can say anything)

[plasmapunk]

@mejjjan not for art, but for fun.

[DonSopranO333]

thanks dad 4 playing all these songs in the car when i was younger bcoz its da reason i like them now :)

[DonSopranO333]

woah woah!!

[joemacn41]

Classic, funny song by the nutty boys. I like the steel drums and gospel choir in it as well.

[Ischen1975]

YEAH! I love it, i hear Madness since i was 9 years old, my brother and me love it! Thank you for this, one of the greatest one´s from Madness!

[timdevries1]

i always get happy of songs by madness. and this is one of the best

[NorthernFella]

They wrote this song for the Choir that appear in this video how great was that!

[piojosnofuturo]

[homer151]

[Turbolad995]

What aircraft is that?

[47606odin]

a plane

[Turbolad995]

Obviously it's "a plane" lol.

What make/model? I like aeroplanes.

[47606odin]

well, i just wanted to confirm as an aircraft, that it was not a helicopter! LOL

[Turbolad995]

:D LOL

[MeNext]

The shot where the plane is upside down looks like a VC10

[Turbolad995]

Looking on Wikipedia on the VC10 article, it does look like the aeroplane in the video is indeed a VC10. I'm guessing we're right? Cheers :)

[silentbob82]

This song is better than 99% of the Weekly Top 40 nowadays!

[nicknasty14]

Aint that the truth!

[Holfwalk]

@silentbob82 100%?

[andresdalessandro]

@silentbob82 The sad thing is that your comment is a year old and the weekly top 40 has gotten even worse in that time. What will the future of music be?

[Neo220161]

legends...first single i ever bought was one step beyond.....fantastic nutty boys...1976

[mainface]

forget harps i want my angels to play steel drums

[doctorwho2pat]

This is better than 'Red Red Wine' by UB40, which beat this song to Number 1 in 1983.

[spunkduckie]

british rail trains were blue and yellow 20 years ago

[jammyhartley]

How did they all get into that van at 2.45 ?

[IrishPiperMan]

The van was probably cut in half so the back half was just like a tunnel they walked through.

[FunkyFreshUnique]

oh yeh lmao

[md4bush]

2:30 - what the heck is the word Carl and Suggs saying? also what is the meaning of Blue Trian? Is this a British thing?

[Wolfington]

zazuum

[spunkduckie]

sasoom

[petshopboysupporter]

NUTTY BOYS RULE

[hogwash139]

you cant beat the nutty boys,,the specials,,ska full stop..the lune 2 below me..know one aksed you to look at this music dont like it go and see the band you do like..like the spice girls..

[NorthernFella]

Apparently Suggs saw the Choir (inspiration church of ???) on tv and was inspired to write this song for them. They're in the video as well!

[dominickearney]

Actually it was Carl who saw them on the show Black on Black (presented by The Selecter's Pauline Black)

[NorthernFella]

ok thanks

[wyattvictor]

Music has a depressing tone these days.

[Wizardus86]

Please explain this.

[bokesnmokes]

I believe that my neighbors in San Diego had this song memorized back in the '80s I played it so much

[jagobezzer]

One of my favourite Madness songs !! The Madness summed up the carefree and mad 80's, nearly every genre was covered by the 80's this is a typical vid... absolutely FAB and I really do wish airlines had pilots as mad as them two !!hahaha

[sonet66]
