If I Didn’t Care

March Of The Gherkins

Driving In My Car

"Driving in My Car" was written by Mike Barson and recorded by Madness. It was released as a stand-alone single on 24 July 1982 and spent eight weeks on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number four. It reached number 20 on the Australian ...

Forever Young

The band presented several songs from their latest album, "The Liberty of Norton Folgate," in three concerts held at London's Hackney Empire in June 2008. One of the songs that they played was 'Forever Young,' featuring a melodious tune. Suggs ...

Is There Anybody Out There?

Mike kicks off this track with a Beach Boys-style organ intro that evokes a late '60s vibe, complemented by Chris's gritty guitar riff and subtle saxophone backing. As I listen, I can't help but reminisce about the con artists who used to sell ...

Brand New Beat

Don’t Quote Me On That

"Don't Quote Me On That" was a commentary on press coverage which had tried to paint the band as racists who supported the National Front (NF). Some of the band's shows had been disrupted by skinhead violence, and, in a 1979 NME interview.

(Don’t Let Them) Catch You Crying

Victoria Gardens

Believe Me

"Believe Me" was one of the earliest original songs by Madness. It was written by John Hasler and Mike Barson. Hasler used to write many things, including poems, songs and even the first two pages of a novel. He would give his lyrics to Mike so ...

The Law According To Dr. Kippah

At first, I noticed the backdrop; it appeared to be a clip of the Main Line from Charing Cross to London Bridge, a route I used to take from work back to Dartford every day. However, I need help understanding this track. The live version had no ...

Set Me Free (Let Me Be)

With his fifth composition on the album, Foreman presents a smooth yet dark track that instantly immerses you into the shadows of lockdown, evoking images of watching the sun and the moon and the seasons pass from the window of an empty room. ...

Uncle Sam

Tarzan’s Nuts

Practically an instrumental with a few lines of banter to kick it all off, it's hardly surprising that these days, the band has a very shaky recollection of how the song came about.

My Girl 2

Mike: My wife is from the former Yugoslavia, where they use the phrase "Da" for "yes" So the opening to 'My Girl 2', with everyone shouting "Oui oui, si si, ja ja, da da!" is some chap being very enthusiastic about his girlfriend, so ...

Sign Of The Times

Dust Devil

I’d Do Anything (If I Could)

Oh my goodness! What on earth is going on here? This track has Foreman's signature all over it, instantly conjuring up images of Craggy Island. Did Zoom Boy wrap up an epic binge-watching session of Father Ted? The monotonous drone of "I’d Do ...

You Keep Me Hanging On

Mark: People always say, I remember where I was and what I was doing, when I first heard that song. For me, *You Keep Me Hanging On', by The Supremes, is just one of those songs. 1967. Sitting in the kitchen, eating porridge, getting ready to ...
