This will be short and sweet (well, relative to me).
I loved Madness from the first single I ever heard from them (and still the one I love best).
I totally thought Suggs was the cutest bad boy ever.
I definitely did my best to imitate their jerking moves and the Cheshire Cat like grin/grimace, as I listened to their songs. I practiced in front of the mirror, not caring that I was providing my sister with plenty of fodder to make fun of me for hours on end afterwards.
Here is a little playlist (top four favorites), followed by a few of their videos for songs not on the playlist (love the little intros they'd do; check out their other ones for the songs on the playlist), and finally the original version of one of their biggest hits, which is just lovely.
Driving In My Car - Madness
(Check out the cameo by Fun Boy Three!)
Our House - Madness
House Of Fun - Madness
It Must Be Love - Labi Siffre (the original)
(Labi Siffre has a cameo on the the Madness video for the cover
