Stateside Madness podcast, episode 35: Sexy Time for Madness
Saturday Dec 11, 2021
Saturday Dec 11, 2021
This week, Laurie & Poly delve into the more “adult” side of Madness. Lurking right beneath the surface of That Nutty Sound are more mature themes and videos that would make your granny blush! We will explore 17 Madness songs with content of a more adult nature. As an added bonus, we will play a bit of an unreleased demo version of “Oh” from the album The Madness, with lyrics that are decidedly more racy than those on the album version. This episode is decidedly rated PG-13 for adult themes and content.

Saturday Oct 30, 2021
With the October 30 induction of the Go-Go’s into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, we thought we’d devote an episode to this remarkable all-girl band from California. The story of the Go-Go’s overlaps the story of Madness in their early years; in fact, it was Madness who recognized something special and gave the girls their first shot at a U.K. tour. So, this week, sit back and listen as we revisit the history of these five amazing ladies as they take their well-deserved place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

With November election season right around the corner in some locales, we thought we’d take a closer look at Madness songs with a more political slant. Join us as we examine the Madness musical catalog, from the band’s earliest days to their most recent single, “Bullingdon Boys,” and discuss the underlying sociopolitical meanings of some of their songs. Sometimes controversial, always interesting!
