I remember watching this commercial on TV, especially Saturday morning cartoon day. I really liked the tune and used to sing it not realizing that this was "House Of Fun" by the Ska/New Wave band Madness. Now everytime I get out my old Madness records I only hear the Colgate Pump commercial!
I don't remember this commercial, but I do remember "Madness" ("Our House... in the middle of our street..."). I understand that, to this day, they are still quite a major act in England.
ReplyDeleteI wish they were a big here too. My wife was in England and there was a play or musical playing in London about Madness. She was going to go but ended up doing something else.
