MADNESS

[Mbkm66]

un bon groupe britannique du debut des années 80,avec quelques titres sympas et qui mon bien fait bouger dans ma jeunesse comme
"one step beyond" ou "night boat to cairo" ou encore "our house"

[Hugues]

moi je suis fan de "Baggy Trouser"s, car non seulement la chanson est sympa, mais en plus le clip et le texte de la chanson me renvoient à mon enfance à l'école :



Naughty boys in nasty schools
Headmasters breaking all the rules
Having fun and playing fools
Smashing up the woodwork tools
All the teachers in the pub
Passing 'round the ready-rub
Trying not to think of when
The lunch-time bell will ring again.

(refrain)
Oh what fun we had
But, did it really turn out bad
All I learnt at school
Was how to bend not break the rules
Oh what fun we had
But at the time it seemed so bad
Trying different ways
To make a difference to the days.

Headmaster's had enough to-day
All the kids have gone away
Gone to fight with next-door's school
Every term, that is the rule
Sits alone and bends his cane
Same old backsides again
All the small ones tell tall tales
Walking home and squashing snails.

(refrain)
Oh what fun we had
(...)

Lots of girls and lots of boys
Lots of smells and lots of noise
Playing football in the park
Kicking Pushbikes after dark
Baggy trousers, dirty shirt
Pulling hair and eating dirt
Teacher comes to break it up
Bang on the 'ead with a plastic cup.
(refrain)
Oh what fun we had
(...)

plus mélancolique, j'aime beaucoup la jolie chanson "My Girl"...



My girl's mad at me
I didn't wanna see the film tonight
I found it hard to say
She thought I'd had enough of her
Why can't she see
She's lovely to me?
But I like to stay in
And watch t.v. on my own
Every now and then

My girl's mad at me
Been on the telephone for an hour
We hardly said a word
I tried and tried but I could not be heard
Why can't I explain?
Why do I feel this pain?
'Cause everything I say
She doesn't understand
She doesn't realise
She takes it all the wrong way

My girl's mad at me
We argued just the other night
I thought we'd got it straight
We talked and talked until it was light
I thought we'd agreed
I thought we'd talked it out
Now when I try to speak
She says that I don't care
She says I'm unaware
And now she says I'm weak

Sympa Mbkm ,Madness ,du ska,chaque fois que j'entends One Step Beyond,je ne peux m'empecher de penser à l'intro du film Inspecteur la Bavure ,une musique de Vladimir Cosma .

[Riou08]

vive le ska!

[Nostalgie70]

Trés grand groupe, superbe souvenir d'adolescence !

[Tipoune]

Ah bah çà alors, Madness pour moi, c'est le moment de délire pur où tout le monde saute partout dans les boum en entendant "One Step Beyond" et pis je vois quoi ici ?! Qu'on n'a même pas mis le clip ?! IN-AD-METTABLE !!!

Allez, pour se donner un peu de pêche ce matin !!! Mettez le fond à son, çà vaut toutes les thérapies du monde !!



Son dernier cri dans le clip, çà m'a toujours fait penser au livre de la jungle quand Baloo appelle de toutes ses forces Bagheera quand Mowgli vient de se faire enlever par les singes et que le cri lui fait raisonner la tête.



Merci pour les autres clips Antiriad, comme pour beaucoup de groupes, je ne connais que les chansons les plus connues et les autres, nada ...
