    If you’ve ever wished that Madness had made an official promo video for their very first hit single, ‘The Prince, wish no more! This brand new video was created using upgraded footage from the band’s 1981 biopic, Take It Or Leave It. Showing the band recording, playing live and generally capering about, it has all the hallmarks of a classic Nutty promo.
    Lyrics
    Buster, he sold the heat with a rock-steady beat
    An earthquake is erupting, but not in Orange street
    A ghost-dance is preparing, You got to help us with your feet
    If you're not in the mood to dance, step back, grab yourself a seat
    This may not be uptown Jamaica, but we promise you a treat
    Buster, bowl me over with your bogus dance, shuffle me off my feet
    Even if I keep on runnin', I'll never get to Orange street
    So I'll say there's nothin' left to say, for the man who set the beat
    So I'll leave it up to you out there, to get him back on his feet
    Buster, bowl me over with your bogus dance, shuffle me off my feet
    Even if I'll keep on runnin', I'll never get to Orange Street
    Bring back the…
    Who is the…
    We want the…
