Wayne’s Word – madness

It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.

Today’s word is MADNESS

Today’s word is a term that flips between chaos and charm. It can mean mental unrest, wild excitement, or pure and plain fun. For anyone raised on ska-pop and famous British anthems, “Madness” is more than a feeling—it’s a band.

Madness, the iconic British group that brought ska to the forefront in the late ’70s and early ’80s. Their 1980 hit “Baggy Trousers” is a perfect snapshot of schoolboy rebellion, laced with nostalgia and mischief. It’s a musical love letter to youthful chaos and a celebration of the kind of madness that makes life worth living.

Tonight we are being entertained by a Madness tribute band known as Baggy Trousers. Has anyone here heard of Madness or know any of their songs?
