Night Boat to Cairo - Madness

Madness. A great British institution. How great is this song and how can it possibly be 30 years old?????? 

I defy anyone of my era, no matter how sophisticated, no matter how flabby, no matter how weakly bladdered, to sit still and not want to jump up and down on the spot for three and a half minutes to this. Whether we can still manage the full 210 seconds is another matter, LOL.

My kids grew up with “Night Boat to Cairo”. They tortured me by deciding to play the cello which meant I had to drive them to and from middle school every day. I, in turn, embarassed the heck out of them, by blasting this out of the car every afternoon as they approached my car after school. “How come your CD is always at this song every day when you pick us up?”, they asked. “No idea”, I responded, my face the picture of innocence.

OK kids. Confession time. I did it on purpose. Bwah ha ha ha haaaaaaa.

I give you “Night Boat To Cairo” by Madness. Feel free to dance along. I know Nick and Kate are ;)
