Madness - ' Our House '

submitted by michie

1 decade 7 years 10 months ago

"Our House" is a single by British ska/pop band Madness from their album The Rise & Fall. It peaked at number five on the UK singles chart in November 1982 and also was their biggest hit in the United States, reaching number seven on the Billboard chart in 1983. The track went on to win Best Song at the Ivor Novello awards of May 1983. The video depicts the band acting out the song's lyrics in an old English-style country house.

Recently, the song was used in Maxwell House commercials. It also has been featured in a montage for an episode of the BBC comedy, My Family.

A musical of the songs of Madness ran in London's West End under the name "Our House--The Musical" between October 2002 and August 2003, and a recording of the show was broadcast on BBC Three.
