Madness
"Our House"

This is another Kmart '80's special. There are a few bass fills in here that
elude me, but this is otherwise a pretty easy song to jam along with.

This is pure Madness - doesn't sound anything like Talking Heads? They are English from London and sound like it. This is their best self-penned song. A great song that sums up 2 up 2 down terrace house Britain.

Practically anybody on the planet can relate to this song. One of their best singles. Has ZinbobDan just woken up from an acid-induced coma?

Love this song. In middle school, I would go over to my friend's house... there would be a bunch of us... and her parents wouldn't be home. We'd turn the stereo up full blast, open the windows, and let this song play. It was so loud, you could hear it in the street, which was fun for us... 'cause we'd dance in the street to it occasionally... but their neighbors didn't like it too much. Mmmm... love it.
