Americans Hate Tingle: In Britain they were one of the biggest bands of The Eighties, but in America "Our House" was their only top ten hit.
Covered Up: Their versions of "One Step Beyond" and "It Must Be Love" are better known than the originals.
Crowning Music of Awesome: "Baggy Trousers", "Embarrassment", "One Step Beyond", "Our House", "Night Boat to Cairo", the list really goes on.
Ear Worm: Many, indeed.
Face of the Band: Suggs.
Misaimed Fandom: In their early days, they had a significant following among supporters of the National Front, possibly because they were the most prominent band in the Two Tone scene to have an all-white lineup. That Madness, and the entire Two Tone movement, stood for pretty much the exact opposite of the NF, was seemingly lost on them, and on some of the newspapers who covered the band's rise. It got to the point where they basically had to tell the skinhead part of the fan base to go and stick their fingers up their arses.
So Bad It's Good: The music video for "Night Boat to Cairo", which is why it's one of the most popular videos the band ever made.
