  • Nutty Boys!

  • AMAZING!!!!!! this song is awesome!!!

    the quality sounds too good to be live though

  • Looks like TOTPS-I 've often wondered what the nutty boys made of the new romantics that they battled it out with inthe charts at the time..

  • Can someone please tell me how these only had 1 Number 1??!!!

  • Quit moaning about the lip-synching. It's from Top of the Pops and everybody lip-synched on TOTP as did Madness. We know they can play their instruments for real but the show was about selling records and not trying to show how well you could sing or play guitar, we have gigs for that.

  • geezer at start sounds lyk russel brand lol

  • Thats the Lej, Dave Lee Travis!!! DLT!

  • one thing about madness, they lip sync on tv,,lol they dont care, their clowns man, they just that good

  • yeh the drumming doesnt look real, this sucks =[

  • Lip sync for madness is kinda insulting their talent.. they shouldnt do it ever madness are too good for it

  • Yeah Well Said

  • as much as i love them.. this has to be lip synced

  • Just saw Martin Clunes and the Kiwis singing this in the Man who Lost his Head it was quite

    hilarius.

  • Martin Clunes is the shit!

  • aren't they even really singing??

  • Yeah looks a bit dodgy doesnt it? Jesus Christ

  • I highly doubt. This sounds identical to the Studio Version.

  • Suggs is an absolute legend

  • Madness is a hysterical band! Saw them at J.F.K. stadium in 1983 when they, REM and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts opened up for The Police. JFK Jam as it was known!

  • lol, he's a great singer and they're a great band, well were, funny how suggs doesn't dance much, he just moves his head a lot lol

  • Still are a great band, still touring and recoring new material.

  • Top of the Pops was always lip-synced. Madness actually made fun of it with their first appearance by using a toy saxaphone during the performance. Fun stuff though!

  • SPLENDIDO!

  • I can't believe the sound their putting off. It's so HUGE it's great! And how great they are live is stupendous.

  • sorry but this isn't live playing

  • It doesn't look live but it's not the recorded version, and oddly the bass is actually out of tune (A string), so that's a bit of a mystery.

  • It is the recorded version. The TV programme is Top of the Pops, and bands always mimed to their recordings on that show.

  • Yeah, on reflection I think you're right.

    Still swear that bass guitar is out slightly though!

  • Seems a bit fast for the recorded version.

  • it was probably a 'live' recording for the show. ie. prerecorded but enough times to get it just right, with no mastering ect.

    it gives a fake "live" sound

  • muy bueno ska oi! skinheads antifas U.I. 69-77

  • Is that a harmonica or a mouth organ?

  • Both. Harmonica and mouth organs are the same instrument. It is fully cromatic one though, as opposed to the 10 hole "blues harp".

  • Fantastic

  • Not so many bands nowadays make their live shows into a party... genius

  • i am 16 yerars to the day n this song is a fucking classik n ani 1 that dissagress can suk my root madness are the boyz dbaggy trowsers wat a fukin tune fellaz

  • CLASSIC reminds me of my school disco's alway's got everybody up and I was only 12 at the time lol

  • Madness ownnnnnnz=) I <3 them

  • como sienten la musica estos genios!

  • lots of girls and lots of boys lots of smells and lots of noice...  :)

  • "...teacher comes to break it up

    back of the head with a plastic cup..."

    Being a schoolkid in Thatcher's Britain wasn't at times easy! Madness introduced us all to a little sanity!

  • Excellent suggs has best dress sense.. :)

  • playback, whatta pity!

  • Baggy trousers, dirty shirt

    Pulling hair and eating dirt.

    Madness rules!

  • Yeah its mimed but its 20 odd years ago for fucks sake, Most music tv shows used backing tapes then! Madness rule!!

  • wow...

  • I hate playback...

    but the madness is the best!

  • top of the pops.the magnificent 7

  • playbacked, fuck this
