Oh God isn't he great?! I loved this song the minute I heard it, and was knocked out by the dance when I saw them on "TOTP" - its so perfect for the tune! I remember teaching my little sis (then 3) how to do it! Happy memories :)
@Greatest1979, unable to reply properly for some reason. I was only a kid when this came out so probably didn't take much notice of it. However now I'm a lot older I definitely appreciate them, they're fantastic
Классика или нет, не знаю. Но результат на лицо. Качество, профессионализм, самоирония и многое другое. Удивительно, малолетние балбесы и смогли исполнить такое!
Think about it when you hear the backing on this-Simple three bar blues.I would say that being a bass player,but nice easy basis to make a good tune from........ Bloody genius that defines a whole era of music.
@little69111 In the early-mid 90s it was still Holt. I'm not from Camden but I looked for it when I was there. Would be good if the owner were still around ! I'm pretty sure he wont be working there any more though.
@seanzeek We used to carry scrunched up stockings around to keep our shoes/boots constantly polished and if someone accidently stood on 'em it was the end of the world!!! lol.
kane duke What a load of shit! The only people left living in London are foreigners and middle class cockney wannabe prats in their flat caps. Well, London can keep its ethnic food markets and cultural diversity festival bollocks. The truth is that the fucking mockney tossers are all living in London! The remaining working class in London is now made up of the dregs, druggies, alkies and the like. If you want to see proper Londoners, move to Essex.
I've been listening to them since the 80's. Kings

Madness gave us relief from the monotony of the '80s.........
Bring back the. Who is the. We want the. Bring back The Prince....
