Madness - Lovestruck

[aylesbury1970]

A song, story and a classic Barson melody

[HAYveku]

:) my dad lisened to madness when i was younger and i have grown up to love this music and its great because i have a diffrent taste in music than all my friends and im in year 10 XD so when i say madness they don't know who im talking about and i love them i went and saw them in earls court in 2010 :)

[leon12348085]

what a tune when i am pissed i sing this song love it xxx

[unknownbrewer]

My 3 year old daughter as the habit of walking into dustbins/lamp posts, pretty much anything in the street and the only way I can managed to get to look where she goes is by singing this to hear and she just goes 'Ooooooiii SHUT up DADDY!!'

Secretly I just enjoy singing to Madness! lol

[supercoolgeeson]

I've fallen for a lifeguard instead :)

[taureleafsilver]

This song reminds me of Singin' in the Rain.

[JamesHolman1000]

Madness....they all call it madness

[Iandmvids]

Madness is the besttest ever

[Liberal1969]

I've never heard this song before. (We don't get to hear as much good stuff on the radio here in the states.) I really like this song. Madness always makes me smile.

[cantonadenmark]

[Criszzilla]

The guys are lookin' good.

[Teddybeer42]

mike barson is f*cking HOT!!!!  i'd do him ;)

[fluffydolly]

madness my guilty little pleasure....nutty boys rock!!!

[deadmeat4eva]

As far as I know it's not about anyone in particular, It's about being drunk and swinging around a lamp post and telling everyone (including the lamp post) that you love them/are their best mate- etc.

[mardy68]

lovestruck ive fallen for a lamp post........... well a lanky mofo more like lol

[DooWopification]

I miss that 'certain something'....

[Drawnwolf]

Any one else think there is a slightly deeper meaning behind this song? I mean it's all crazy and funny (like madness should be) but certain lyrics and the tone in which they are sung (especially the verses) makes me think this song is alot more emotional than some of their other work.

[TheMotogavlas84]

@Drawnwolf

I think it s a mix between hangover states, old stories, and the life...

Maybe when you re drunk sometimes many things come to the surface and you just need some peace of mind and someone to care.If it s not the person you lost, it can be the lamppost...

What the fuck am i saying....but maybe there s something true... hahahaha

[MadnotMad79]

OHHHH I LOVE THIS LAMP POST /...:)

[murphy341]

takes me back a few years!

[scrazer]

this band have to be the most fun, feel good band of all time,legends one and all!!!!!!!!

[sophiescot]

[mystoermerwithme]

What a lovely band. And it never changed.

[souldoll167]

[myasmate]

If only this song had been around in my misspent youth,would've been my anthem .

[blesssthefall1]

OOH boy, it so strange to see them as older men because i only know from there 1980 's videoclips which were brilliant!

[musicalglenn]

God blessmadness

[lonandron77]

greatest british band ever

[PJpurple]

i think its about drinking. as in 'problem drinking'.

[FiaFi]

One of the first signles I ever bought =)

[theturtleguy76]

I'm 17 and I think Madness are one of the best bands going. Their music just makes you want to get up and dance, it's class :D Long live Madness!

[kris31uk]

@theturtleguy76 well done that man its people like you who will bring my generations music to the younger generation..please listern to ub40 and r.e.m great bands from my generation madness rules ska music has been forgot

[kris31uk]

@theturtleguy76 listern to bad manners

[LoveAltonTowers]

@theturtleguy76 im 15 :P and i agree!

[TheTrevortrowbridge]

@theturtleguy76 I'm 17 also, and I couldn't agree with you more man. I seriously wish they were touring in the US.

[mrjoe551]

i always thought this song was about a realy drunk guy and every time he got drunk he fell for some random lamp post

[GaryTownend]

If I'm not mistaken it's about getting drunk and cuddling up to a lamp post on the way home to hold yourself up.

[8redcoins]

trust madness to write a love song to a lamp post

[TheFriedLiverAttack]

heres a dumb one (herse)...There are 3 levels paradise is pure energy and is therfore hell (for it is confounded and bounded by its own energy) and the dumb angles who are part of and part from relate it to the partial earth...the second level is hell because it knows not pure energy and its energy is pure desire for pure energy which is and is driven by its not and if it knows its self will die, this it knows only partialy. .

[TheFriedLiverAttack]

@TheFriedLiverAttack The third level is hell for it is the being of all energy pure and partail and is restricted by it and driven by it and must therefore adhere and be adhered by. the dumb angles distract themsevelf only to be not by themselves

[greyfur1]

remind's me of when i was growing up

[helzbelzjonez]

There are 2 people out there who don't have any taste in music.

[crunchyapple111]

[1996bambi]

[1996bambi]

[1996bambi]

[gartnait1]

[TheFriedLiverAttack]

If i was a woman a real woman i would be happy to tend to mans needs that would please me enough...i wouldent care about childish games.

[smyrnawednesday]

[1q6z]

[damiankerr]

@1q6z Totally agree. AND I caught the Band on the Run reference right away.!!

[TheFriedLiverAttack]

[viatoro]

IT´s MadE fOr MeXiCo!!!!!

[MaNkSOLDiiER007]

haha isit about him getting pissed then going home to his wife?

[stickmandxxd]

@MaNkSOLDiiER007 no about him trying to have sex with a lampost

[tenderprey75]

What a come back. Without sounding tried, it's unmistakenly Madness. Complete with that sense of melody no-one else seems to posses nowadays. Even if it isn't fiercely far away from "the sun and the rain".

[kenpie101]

WIN! :D

[H0RESMEAT]

great true "brit pop"

[LiDaTV]

@H0RESMEAT you are so right mate, so right

[thepinktent]

[TheJuvjuv]

[Wankshaftsbury]

[spiderpig444]

fallen for a lamp post... its a f'ed up relationship with a lamp post... its madness

if im wrong n there is a secret message plz tell me :)

[Mrturtlevsduck]

[hunneybunny36]

[MisterX07]

Mmmmm... George Best?

[gregglesdawrestler]

@MisterX07 its about them falling for a lamppost

[lonewolfgin]

alochol

[spiderpig444]

@hunneybunny36 fallen for a lamp post... its a f'ed up relationship with a lamp post, itsd madness

so that kinda explains it

[waylander6102]

@hunneybunny36 I think it's about what you will do when under the effects of alcohol, not completely sure, but it does seem to fit.

[DEVIANTONE69]

@hunneybunny36 : Paul gascoigne

[musicalglenn]

@hunneybunny36 roy keane?

[MADNESSRULE2K8]

@hunneybunny36 Its Actually About Getting Drunk and Holding A Lampost for Standin Support.....Its Not About A Person

[MrTopoker]

Gazza!



[MrTopoker]

he crashed into a lampost in his car to:)

[MrBlack92]

@hunneybunny36 actually its about being drunk and having a hangover

[MrTopoker]

yea just like Gazza! 

[SaireNaoriva]

@hunneybunny36 It's less of "who" this song is about, and more of "what".

It's about being completely hammered and falling in love with a lamppost.

Shit like that happens what you get wasted, it's a fact of life.

[gezzer20]

@hunneybunny36 a song doesnt have to have any meaning ..........

[ianbillericay]

Funny thing is I repair my pubs outside light, they looked like tem and was called large windsor by Sugg lighting :D 100% true

[TrollCatcher2010]

curt cobaun was killeed by courtney love jon lennon killled by cinky waasssername?

[mardy68]

oh to the days of getting the lyrics out of smash hits then glueing the posters to the wall,and getting a roasting for ruining the wall paper lol

[ramhater07]

Fantastic legends all of em

[rex6963]

I showed this song to my girlfriend and she loves it.

[theauthorishere]

masterpiece, masterpiece, masterpiece. Immortal masterpiece. Uh... I forget a thing... ho yes: MASTERPIECE:

[james6033]

Nothing more british than madness!!

[MaalePap]

@james6033 yeah, The Beatles :D

[RobbieReineldt]

@james6033 yes there is, They were called The Kinks...

[XxmcrlooneyxX]

i'm 14 and love all the old music like Madness, squeeze, Glenn Tilbrook ect.

One of my favorite songs, i love suggs aswell he's such a ledge! ♥

[yooli91]

this is not such old song.. it's from 1999

[XxmcrlooneyxX]

@yooli91 i know this song isnt such an old one, but Madness have been going for 30 years and I'm only 14, so it's old for me? lol

[TherymasterWidnes]

Top, top M track!

[nuttyboy11]

Had a big cheeser through this........ Total Madn3ss.............. Wonderful was a great album that just didn't get the reviews...... 2 thumbs up......

NB11

[DomiGnomee]

I love this song, always have always will, it's the best song to get stuck in your head or accidentally sing out aloud in public.

[winnertakesall1980bo]

loved this song when it came out, it was me an an ex's song, still fun to sing along to it now.

good song, interesting vid

peace out

[charlotteandavril]

ya its ska but it sounds realy poppy i dont like it i like the old madness much better get the oldschool ska back

[evbo21395]

Love the playing guitar with a bow! :D

[earjams1]

Pop music is pop-ular music. That 's why it is called "pop" music.

[blaise998]

win song

[holliefryer]

i love this song fukin legend

[ChelseaAllTheWay13]

Top band.

[CoralKidd]

Love Thiss Song ... Reminds me so much ov my uncle who died in may 09 :(

r.i.p Roger , So many memories with you

[fedokosmokrator]

How typical of Madness to write a love song to a lamp post!

[weecoby3]

I think it's brilliant that this band still affects the youth of today the way they affected me all those years ago. I'm not a great fan of The Brits and their self-congratulatory stance ...but if you're handing out your gongs ....THIS BAND SHOULD FUCKING HAVE ONE! They are, without a doubt, a national treasure.

[joe865]

self-congratulatory stance...what???

[TheMotogavlas84]

Fantastic song, one of my best.

TAKE ME DOWN , FOR ONE MORE ROUND......

[bluheadted]

Agreed. Way under rated...

[DrakeWhiteProduction]

these guys are under rated.

[Leahrixxy]

I'm 13! Lol.

4th Madness Concert In December, Bring It On! Mad for Life!

[JubileePerson]

I don't think so my friend! This is the sort of music real men are all about..........

[LEdPRINCEgirl]

christ, no one cares about how old you are lol! i think its great that there are lots of other teens out there who appreciate good music but i think its time to abandon your age when it comes to posting comments on a madness video.

[darthrevan10]

jst to annoy this person im 15 and LURRRVE MADNESS :p no hard feelings m8 :D

[eiradis]

Good for you! I hope the kids from your generation will grow out of Miley and etc.

[frontier219]

Disagree. Pop music is pop music. If it makes people feel good, who cares?

[Xangado]

this is ska not pop --'

[HereticsRight]

I would disagree.

[sionswansea]

its ska you idiots

[mrjoe551]

arnt they ska and pop

[duckingforcover09]

the 80's had great bands like madness while in the 00's, were stuck with lady gaga.....

[rallyingtcp]

we had lady gaga's in the 80's I can asure you we have just forgoten about them (Thank the stars) and the real real good stuff palys on. there is still great music be made today you just have got a lot mre to dig through to find it.

[BeatlesBandPCovers]

LOVE MADNESS but the chorus of this song sounds a tiny like the verses in happiness is a warm gun by the beatles but faster

[SapphireM]

Yes! It was supposed to according to what I have read

[BeatlesBandPCovers]

oh ok fair enough , glad madness are beatles fans then

[09LiamShaw]

madness u r the best a came ti c u at the glasgo concert

[adhoodo]
