      @@eamonnquigley2125 the address is 95 Golborne Road, London W10 5NL. I got that from the Wikipedia entry for this song. I checked Street View and sadly it's long gone, but you can clearly see it's the same place (compare Street View to the scene of the band leaving the cafe at 2:57). Currently a falafel restaurant, but older views show that there was a Papa John's pizzeria earlier in the '10s.

    Madness - The Return Of The Los Palmas 7.
    If there was any light to come from this dark year musically, it came in the form of Madness.
    Another single I managed to acquire.
    I loved this track and the video. I also loved the cover of the single which used to crack me up. It just summed up the Nutty Boys for me.
    A few years later I got the album ‘Complete Madness’ which had the lyrics to all the songs in the gatefold. It made me laugh that under the lyrics for ‘The Return Of The Los Palmas 7’ it just had “waiter?”.
    Fantastic music from a fantastic group.

Shame about our useless government who've just trashed the economy and the currency to make the bankers richer and the rest of us poorer. I was a teenager when this came out. Now I'm in my early 60s and the country has never seemed more unhappy.

      Check your facts. It doesn't matter if you go back to 2016 and the Brexit vote, or 2010 and the Tory election victory, the UK economy has since grown faster than France, Germany, Italy or Japan, or the EU average.

    I always liked this video even though it's mostly a mishmash of random film clips. Madness always knew how to make a memorable video on the cheap.
    Interesting (if only to myself) that at 1:11 you can see a can of Coke that had the old fashioned pull-off tab. I remember those being phased out here in the USA in the late 70s in favor of the pop-in thing cans still have. I heard the switch was due to the common American habit of dropping the pull tab into the can, where it became a choking hazard. Don't know how often it could work itself out when someone was drinking from the can, but it must have happened a few times. I guess it took longer for global bottlers to make the switch.
