[0ManBearCat0]

I used to dance like those 3 guys who danced into the shop... Wait, no, I will never be that awesome.

[beard149]

i used to dance like that, then i took an arrow to the knee

[federrox192]

@beard149 Skyrim fanboys... Don't say dumb comments about something 80's related, please.

[CorvetteBG]

@federrox192 Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll?

[federrox192]

@CorvetteBG ?

[CorvetteBG]

@federrox192 Just YouTube it xP

[DeeeeJaaaayDeso]

Thumbs up if you're listening to this in 2011.

[ZOMBO100]

[SheWhomLikesMusic]

Wuhnununu 1:00 Reminds me of Scout from TF2



[wakeyphotter]

Is the rollercoaster at Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach?

[PhiZixGaming]

@wakeyphotter thats what i just thought! I think it is, and so is the fun house, just they revamped it now

[DeeeeJaaaayDeso]

@wakeyphotter

Yes.

[XxThEsmOsHxX]

What a song ;)

[ajittffcure]

What a band... one of the epitomes of British eccentricity.

[Lani2002]

WELCOME TO THE HOUSE OF YOUTUBE :D

[EASTWICKgames]

the lead singer reminds me of damon albarn... a bit

[Sam5726]

"You hum it, I'll smash ya face in."

[singleASBO]

aaahhh madness :)

[generallyafailure123]

Watched this for the first time drunk and pissed myself laughing at the man at 1:22. At the time it was quite possibly the funniest thing I had ever seen.

[gmoduk93]

seeing these live at Leeds Festival 2011 was a big highlight in my life!

[wwekevin]

I have always known this song from the young ones when they were on there way to the pub. Always reminds me of that scene.

[PsychoOfazxc3]

2:10 - 2:22 that ride is real..

[Loughton397]

So glad that i've been on that rollercoaster myself in Great Yarmouth. :)

[lewisner]

@MiniChaos3545 No worries! Do your ears a favour and listen to "Ire Feelings" by Rupie Edwards BTW.

[lewisner]

@MiniChaos3545 It's SKA.

[lewisner]

00.40 the dance is epic beyond epic.

[lewisner]

@MiniChaos3545 Scar????

[ninjabastard2]

so from what i can gather this is about a guy who has just come of age and wants to get laid... subtle...

[NoOneTookThisNameLol]

1:05 thats the funniest thing iv ever seen

[MrHoboguitarist]

0:40 is me and my dad dancing :L

[mrconfused88]

the bit where they are on the collacoster is filmed at margate dreamland

[Anaverageguy41]

What i don't get about this is why EMI blocked the video in England Where it was made???

[hudooguru]

Im a big boy now, or so they say...cheeky..

[rob1969in]

There sure isn't any good music around anymore! The music industry has gone down the toilet.

[linden365]

@spadefoot7 no... hust no...

[ross1962]

@spadefoot7 30 years ago. And we listened to it here in the U.S. too. Only you wouldn't know that because your parents were still wearing underroos.

[Jonesir1996]

[Whoami691]

@spadefoot7 yep, we are all tea sipping ponces listening to this speaking with an upper class voice, wearing top hats as we talk about cricket eating fish and chips :P

[benrgardiner]

[gallafey]

what was the little lad looking at out the early in the video had just wondered in into the shop think wats going here or was ment to be in that video?

[TheTinkerbell1974]

hahaha the old super loop and fun house at great yarmouth pleasure beach

[mystoermerwithme]

I am happy that I influence my daughter. She went to see Madness recently and had a great time.

She also got hammered with a bunch of nice dudes and while I was driving her home, on the highway she threw up. lol.

Welcome to the house of FUN.

[Ducks720]

your a terrible father

[mystoermerwithme]

Duck, you're an idiot.

And looking at your channel others seem to think so too.

I am a very good mother. Ask my daughter. Or anybody else. You can't stop ppl, including your kids - mine is almost 18 - from going their way and checking things out. Sometimes that may make you a little sick. Happens. You get over it - you Irish barman...

I never drink myself, but if someone else wants to have a few beers every now and then... I can at least take them home and clean the car. Cheers.

[Ducks720]

Who's Irish? And you take the internet wayyy too seriously

[mystoermerwithme]

If I didn't, I'd be missing all this useful advice, unirish bar-duck. Seriously. lol.

[Ducks720]

From the way to were posting about how proud you were that she was sick and saying 'lol', the 'advice' i gave you will be usless

[mystoermerwithme]

Dear pub-duck, it seems you are taking something serious here, while mocking me for it...?!

You can believe me this: There is nothing I wouldn't do to make sure a loved one - MY CHILD - is okay.

And don't say that I was "proud she got sick". That is not what I said at all.

[Ducks720]

I am happy that I influence my daughter. She got hammered with a bunch of nice dudes. Oh me oh my :')

[mystoermerwithme]

Ducky, anyone ever told you that you SERIOUSLY lack humor? (And overview.)

The influence concerned music and bands.

I told you I DON'T DRINK - so, that couldn't have been my influence; it was/is her decision.

I gather you don't have kids - and this totally disqualifies you making any statements on bringing them up. Trust me.

And if you want to keep in touch with me, you have to pm. The others get p.o.'d at private chats.

[mystoermerwithme]

P.S.: I meant I was glad that the guys she made friends with (no joke) are all well mannered.

No one got her bombed to jump her bones. This is a happymaker to parents.

[Ducks720]

haha. i bet they all wish to 'jump her bones' though

[cocopops149]

im irish

[the1truebakasama]

I thought I was the only person who remembered this video!!!

[SarahTheBigNerd]

MTV2 is showing it now.

[Xangado]

[joeygardiner]

[Aerist007]

[oODajmarNOo]

[Gasoline85]

Same here. Though I had heard "Our House" before I saw it on the Young Ones. XD

[TubeofDestiny]

Thanks niels1994 for the info, excellent xD

[Bruxa1984]

o was :D

[eclipse11145]

the inscription is wrong its not welcome to the house for fun its welcome tho the house of fun

[willmckeand]

ohh its about condoms haha

[AlienHeartBeat]

...It's about drinking. xD

[willmckeand]

haha you sure? someone said it was about buying condoms?!

[niels1994]

The song is about coming of age. The lyrics tell the story of a boy on his 16th birthday attempting to buy condoms at a chemist. He makes a point of stating that he's "16 today and up for fun". However, the boy is misunderstood by the chemist as he attempts to purchase the condoms, using slang terms such as "box of balloons with a featherlight touch". The confused chemist behind the counter informs the boy that the establishment is not a joke shop, and directs him towards the "House of Fun".

[willmckeand]

haha oh right thats pretty good!

i love this song xD

[SONBoomer]

Ah, YEAH! I remember! You're adult from age 16 in Britain...

[beatlebird1]

@niels1994 yes, but also its the point that the young boy is too embarassed to get to the point and buys loads of other things before getting to the point of what he really wants.

[deanosaur07]

@niels1994 as if we didn't know all this....derrrrr

[MrMasterBoop]

@niels1994 I'm guessing you watched our house the musical too ;).

[qwertyTRiG]

@niels1994 65 upvotes for quoting Wikipedia.

[GivingOutTheSecrets]

[ladyjanus]

NAUGHTY!

[niels1994]

[niels1994]
