    Toy Dolls: We're Mad (1984) on Cherry Red.
    This video is a celebration of the north of England's most famous punk rock outfit Toy Dolls. We're Mad captures the band (perhaps best known for their cover of "Nellie the Elephant") at their best. Not so much a set of songs as a series of short stories. Packed full of witty lyrics and mad machine-gun guitar licks.

    The Toy Dolls were my saviors in my teenage years, and the only band who can still make me smile in 2020. Happy 40th boys.😊💗

    Good lord these guys are just rad! The energy and enthusiasm is just infectious. It's not the kind of music you can break down as being revolutionary or anything but it just makes you happy! Anything more and you're reading too much into it.

    First heard Toy Dolls at school and my first band covered Nellie the Elephant. Many years later I am still waking up in lockdown listening to the Toy Dolls. Also Olga and the drummer from Goldfinger, the guitarist from the Fairmounts and a few others’ have just covered Ever Fallen in Love with Olga and it’s an instant classic.

    Punk is more of an attitude than a musical style. Punk was never meant to be something specific but rather artistic expression that moves away from what's expected (i.e. mainstream) so yeah these guys are punk all the way.

      I would say the first thing Punk was was NOT lineal break down of whatever....especially Punk. In fact. Punk was because the great old brit tribe leadership had moved their factories to other countries and there were no jobs, and they made sure no one got any hope but the dole and a life of not quite starving enough to have a revolution.........when they figured it out, and wanted to get rid of the idiots, the idiots got a plan.....it is actually described in one of the documentaries about Diana Spencer.......to get a big fairy tail wedding and get everyone all het up about the royals again so they would not get rid of them and leave old lizzie and her son chuckle to open a tea shop and live off their glory day memories by high pricing tourists...

      actually punk came from England where it made sense to stand against the man......we do not have a man here in the USA, we try hard to have someone to blame, but if we do not do what Benjamin Franklin told us to do, which is protect our rights, it is our own fault if we end up in a mess. I am not trying to make anything anything.....I just say what is on my mind and at 71 remember telling my sons that their punk bands were fun and popular, but I was a bit sick of the poor us against the machine. one of my closest friends was also in a punk band, his favorites were Boys Don't Cry and Wooly Bully, that fabulous favorite punk club dance tune here in LA.

    When their 1st album came out I got it for a Xmas present in 1983 played it constantly I loved them they were a band that was impossible to see live cos they only played concerts here and there I finally saw them live in Glasgow a few years ago I was in my 50s at the time a great concert jumping about mad fans came from the north of Scotland and other fans from northern England the guy that was the support act was TV smith

    I think it is a parody of Antmusic by Adam and the Ants, which came out a few years earlier in 1980. Not only are the Toy Dolls using at least two drummers, but they are wearing staindrop cavalry jackets, as did Adam Ant.
    Gary Glitter also used two drums. So does traditional Japanese festival music. I would like to hear more.

    Insanity is everywhere,
    It's a pity it's everywhere we go...
    We're mad John,
    Sirens are wailing everywhere,
    Wars underway...
    Down comes a bomb
    From the sky to the ground,
    The score's two one
    It's the enemy's round,
    But we'll all be dead
    Coz the whole world's gone...
    HELLBOUND!!!
    We're Mad...! ca ca ca crazee,
    We're Mad...! la la la looneys too,
    We're Mad...! ca ca ca crazee,
    Ca ca ca crazee now... Lookout!
    Ten thousand soldiers everywhere,
    Guns on their shoulders
    Everywhere they go...
    They're mad John!
    Always a battle everywhere,
    Madness again Hey!
    The wives back home looking after baby,
    Cry when they see that on the T.V.
    Their love's been shot,
    But tonight they made,
    HISTORY!!!
    We're Mad...! ca ca ca crazee,
    We're Mad...! la la la looneys too,
    We're Mad...! ca ca ca crazee,
    Ca ca ca crazee now... Lookout!
    Down comes a bomb
    From the sky to the ground,
    The score's two one
    It's the enemy's round,
    But we'll all be dead
    Coz the whole world's gone...
    HELLBOUND!!!
    We're Mad...! ca ca ca crazee,
    We're Mad...! la la la looneys too,
    We're Mad...! ca ca ca crazee,
    Ca ca ca crazee now... Lookout!
    We are mad it's clear again,
    That it will always be the same,
    It's a fact but really is a shame,
    That we're Mad Mad Mad Mad
    Mad Mad Mad Mad.............!!!
