[3DPeter]

now i know were david lee roth got his inspiration from, when he made yanky rose, california girls, just a gigolo and so on.

[ImSuchASpecialGirl]

why British bands are so perfect?

[3DPeter]

@ImSuchASpecialGirl

They should have give madness their own tv show, because they we great comedeans if you look at al of their video's. It's like the benny hill show, but with music.

[asmb310]

[aaronpapanos]

I love it when a song suggests a certain topic and all the experts come out from hiding :p

[TheMorningCoffee]

@aaronpapanos I love it when stupid shit on yt attracts all the smug wankers out from hiding ;p

[cheechandchong2]

i might be off on what yall are talking about but if i might have an idea well america was supposed to have knowledge of the attack on pearl harbor because japan did send a warning message that they had declared war before the attack but it wasn't translated before the attack this information is from a documentary if you don't believe me look it up and if this comment is way off base ignore it was just trying to shed some light lol

[Werewolf9098]

@cheechandchong2 Nah, I think they DID translate it, but they WANTED war with Japan (* )_( .)

[molltox]

4 person dont have taste

[boats752]

okay well next time germany comes marching up the street dont come crying to the USA to save your sorry asses again

[MajorJakobs]

@boats752 Actually the English military was incredibly effective during world war two, it was more a matter of being outnumbered than anything else.

[Speukan]

@boats752 We didnt come crying to you, the only reason the US joined WW2 was because Japan AND Germany declared war on you, so you only joined when the war started to effect your interests. Im guessing they forget to say that in history class.

[WunderDoob]

@Speukan

Little known fact: Roosevelt knew the Japanese would attack us. US enforced heavy sanctions against them. Sanctions are an act of war. They had advanced knowledge of the attack, they allowed it to happen to garner support for the war. The next day, 1 million American men volunteered.

[Speukan]

@WunderDoob Sad to know that he had to sacrifice good men to join the war.

[arkady714]

@WunderDoob Specualtion.  Never proved. Btw, you can give and recount all the conditions you want. e.g. How they thought the arriving planes were a shipment from California despite them coming in from the west? Planes from the mainland U.S. (east of Hawaii) often circled and approached from the west. Roosevelt knowing in advance of Pearl Harbour was documented nowhere. Btw, to answer "of course it wouldn't be" still does not make your opinion a "fact."

[WunderDoob]

@arkady714

"How they thought arriving planes were a shipment from California" < --- whoever told you this must be smoking some heavy doobies. You ever play Tic Tac Toe? The pieces were all in place implicating Roosevelt's administration wanted to get involved so the illuminati could profit from a long war. Next thing you know, there's an unprecedented and horrible incident. History is written by the winners, and when these facts are dug up, the story quickly changes.

[arkady714]

@WunderDoob Facts are dug up? I'll wait to see documents, thanks very much. I'll wait to see other things than speculation. It might have been the case or it might not. But until there are documents, nothing is a "fact." Until there is physical evidence of any occurence, it remains theory. It was Napoleon who was quoted as asking "What is history if not an agreed upon myth?" Your "pieces in place" are back up by only speculation.

[WunderDoob]

@arkady714

Go research it, oh wait you can't. They've already wiped those places off the internet so late bloomers like yourself can't find the information. Poor bastards.

[WunderDoob]

@Speukan

Same thing happened in WW1. USA was not involved in any way, then the Lusitania was sank by a "German U-boat" Tonkin Gulf Incident was made up to justify expanded combat operations in Vietnam, we lost more troops to friendly fire than enemy fire in Desert Storm including any Abrams we lost, and I think everyone can agree that 9/11 has a shady story full of holes and the entire argument for the Invasion of Iraq was based on falsified intel and war profiteering operations.

[Kuuper111]

@boats752 get your history straight, buddy They said: It's not our problem'. The usa didn't wanna be part of the War unti lthe Japanese attacked Hawaii. Then it was 'Now, it's our problem.'

[DANNNNNNNO]

I'm amazed this was omitted from the Total Madness compilation, it's awesome, especially the music video!

[MajorJakobs]

I'm pretty sure this song is about how America basically USES England as a puppet in most modern conflicts. And that England sadly just goes along with it. -_-

[boats752]

@MajorJakobs uh yeah sure dude...thats what your opressive socialist governments does to you daily thats why yo been disarmed so you can get of your fat lazy pub sodden asses and fight for your freedom

[MajorJakobs]

@boats752 what is the basis of your statement "oppressive socialist government". I currently live in France bro, where we protect our right to bear arms in case the government becomes "Oppressive". American born though.

[Crustydraw]

uncle sam don't want you.....

I would wanna leave too, its only a matter of time before you have shariah law in the old country...sad

[MajorJakobs]

@Crustydraw What does England have to do with Islamic law?

[Crustydraw]

@MajorJakobs katie couric don't talk about stuff like that and the fact that Christians are being burned in the streets in egypt......

Law and Order

Police 'covered up' violent campaign to turn London area 'Islamic'

Police have been accused of “covering up” a campaign of abuse, threats and violence aimed at “Islamicising” an area of London.

you can read the whole story on the telegraph

[MrGrannynumber1]

omg so funny the bomb ! the everything

[Kuuper111]

4 people couldn't be with their uncle Sam

[jonasborthers12978]

i love this song i love madness !!

[BloodNorseGods]

that saxophone player always dresses like a woman, what a fag bag

[mrhuse38]

@BloodNorseGods you are just jealous that your mum locks her dress's away from you

[YourSkyliner]

@BloodNorseGods I'd say the fag bag is the one using the word "fag bag", gaylord

[Kuuper111]

@BloodNorseGods don't you talk bad about Lee! He'll be ten times the better man han you'll ever be. there used to be a word for people who use the word 'fag bag' and that word was gay. I gues that's still the word.

[TONYCOV881]

@BloodNorseGods dont be knocking tommo hes a legend mate

[rwk1983]

you brits are spazzes (and this is coming from a spazz)

[mrhuse38]

@rwk1983 can we just enjoy the video please

[rwk1983]

@mrhuse38 Deeez Nutssss?

[mrhuse38]

@rwk1983 I am British and I don't care what you think because you clearly have nothing better to do than act like a spaz and post stupid comments on video that you clearly have no interest in

[snakebite784]

may the spirit of madness live forever



[Christopher4015]

Madness taught me how to dance.

[0586730O2]

saluting the river police at 2.52 lol!!!

[matyzzz333]

[roro21123456]

Why is there a dislike button ? i wonder.

[mbcloninger99]

bedders looks gooood in that video.

[dino1710]

GREAT TUNE!!!!!

[sneakyrabbits]

I like the americans in the intro, english people trying to act american is always amusing,

[DrHooty911]

@sneakyrabbits Americans acting themselves is amusing for us

[rwk1983]

@DrHooty911 Ha! you brits are just jealous (seriously). America IS the greatest country and trust me im no hardcore patriot, infact there is alot wrong with our society BUT im not a liar and a fact is a fact and that means.................America = #1 (look it up, its in the webster dictionary)

Excuse My Poor Grammer & Peace

Robert Keith

P.S. Don't feel bad, atleast your not from Canada (Canada = Cold and Abandoned = gayyyyyyyy (thats also in the Webster dictionary)

[DrHooty911]

@rwk1983 Four people agree with me, none agrees with you.

You are a perfect display of what a proper American utterly hates, some fat git in his Parents house eating chips and ranting about on YouTube about "how epic USA is".

Thank God that I know that all Americans aren't like you...

[rwk1983]

@DrHooty911 im not fat and im upstairs.................get it correct guy

[DrHooty911]

@rwk1983 Go look in a dictionary/grammar book, find the many errors in your phrase.

[rwk1983]

@DrHooty911 lol doucheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[DrHooty911]

@rwk1983 Trololo

[trebot9292266]

@DrHooty911 Good Ska is Good Ska no matter where its from. same with a good show. same with people

[911mapper]

@rwk1983 wow that's a strange comment. Maybe America is #1 if you are looking for cheeseburgers, buffets, guns, and cheap beer. You are right if that's what you want, but there's more than that you know. Maybe you might want to look up UN Rankings for different things. You might want to go to Britain and Canada and learn a few things besides spelling. Don't get me wrong I like the USA too but that comment was ridiculous.

[rwk1983]

@911mapper you can strange comment Deez Nuts Nugga (is that strange enough for ya?)

[MajorJakobs]

@rwk1983 Nope, the greatest country in the world is The Netherlands, legal pot and hookers.

[Gabiex1012]

@rwk1983 ahahah are you a troll ?

[iandeeightiesman]

GENIUS

[titanicbuilder927]

[s1dd99]

i used to have ahat likes sugg's magic hat imade it myself

[MrRogier300]

this is a funny clip

SEEEling crossing the see

[JanEgbersNL]

The somg is great. The ingenuity is that it is a bit anti-american, but mainly a message against Britain following America in anything. The lyrics are still current, with Britain following America in Iraq and Afghanistan. And it is a nice tune as well, let's not forget that.

[sarlo2001]

Love the sarcasm. Everybody in England wanting to be a part of the U.S.A. mechanism. Just Madness.

[th3matchless]

They do justice to their name!

[1q6z]

how he salutes the Police at 2:52 LMAO XD what a piss take ! luvley

[didocoop]

oh so much better than pet shop boys this is the only band i would still pay to see from the 80s well maybe a couple of others but they are the best

[kayakerAllen]

Madness lyrics at there randomist!!!!!!! GREAT SONG :)

[Paolo2710]

omg

0:38 til 0:43

but as always: Madness is the best!!

[nwlman]

This has been left of their greatest hits I wonder why.

[badhead]

There was legal problems with the record company that owns the rights to the album that this single is from.

[0586730O2]

@nwlman because it was not a great hit, reached only no. 21 in UK only, released in 1985, after their popularity had dwindelled a few yeras before

[Charrister]

Hey I went to see their farewell concert in Finsbury Park in the nineties but they never went away after that, I want my money back!! :)

[wm8707]

[imbo8w]

[CHECKDISOUT4]

FUCKIN LEDGENDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[ianl43]

Excellent song & fantastic Madness video

[carhop66]

Hey viatoro - first, I love Madness. Second, there's no doubt the US has made it's mistakes, but England has has done pretty well with this country on it's side. (see WWII)

[Norvik1602]

Ah yes, WWII where the Soviets killed 9 out of 10 Germans. . . and joined 6 months before the yanks too.

[carhop66]

The soviets 'joined' because of an invasion that they weren't expecting, or were too naive to expect.

[Norvik1602]

The Soviets were expecting it, Stalin's ideas aside.

The USA joined because they were bombed into it and FDR wasn't willing or able to join otherwise.

If Japan hadn't attacked Pearl Harbour then the Soviets wouldn't have been able to move the troops that saved Moscow.

It was a World War, see.

[MrDundonian]

soviets are a bunch of communist pricks...Stalin = hitler wannabe

[KRMAFC]

Dundonian's are a bunch of pricks...

[MrDundonian]

think i dont know that?

and where are you from?

[AdamCarterMovies]

coltonzeke is correct this song is SKA but "our house" isn't SKA

[Coltonzeke]

Thank you. Our House is 80's Pop

[viatoro]

UnItEd sTaTeS= ShIt

[mamagola]

[samooht007]

Haha they make crazy videos!

[platonov4]

Yes, but Pet Shop Boys made crazier! Or Genesis in late 80's.

[pickemallayyye]

pet shop boys r shit, madness are so much better

[josetogan]

best Madness track in my opinion...

[samooht007]

My opinion the track Our House is the best! :)

[mamagola]

Madness is my no.1 rock band ;really awesome

[dadov]

[pickemallayyye]
