Every UK #1 Single of The 1980's Discussion Thread.

Sorry, dem is shortened form of demonstration: she was choosing a turntable, amp and speakers. Came back the second time in bikers gear...

Of course you shouldn't judge, or second guess people's taste in music from their dress, especially work attire, but I certainly wasn't expecting Metallica.

Madness - House Of Fun

2 Weeks At No 1

10th No 1 of 1982 and No 501 in total.





"House of Fun" is a song by English ska/pop group Madness, credited to Mike Barson and Lee Thompson.[1] It was released as a one-off single on 14 May 1982 and reached number one in the UK Singles Chart, spending nine weeks in the charts.[2][3] The song was re-released in 1992, reaching number 40. It is the band's only number one single in the UK and in 2015 the British public voted it as the nation's 8th favourite 1980s number one in a poll for ITV.[4]

Recording
The song was originally recorded under the title "Chemist Facade", without the "Welcome to the House of Fun" chorus. While the song was being recorded, head of Stiff Records Dave Robinson insisted that the song should have a chorus, so band member Mike Barson immediately wrote the "Welcome to the House of Fun" refrain on his piano.[5]

At this point, the song had already been recorded, and the management decided not to re-record the whole song. Instead, the recording was edited, and the chorus instruments and vocals dubbed onto the recording. This proved to be difficult, mainly due to technical limitations at the time, and it resulted in the first part of the word "Welcome" being cut off. Due to this, the chorus seemed to begin "Elcome to the House of Fun", so lead singer Suggs was forced to overdub the word "Welcome". Although this proved to be a tough task, it was completed successfully.[5]

Music and lyrical content

The introduction to the song.
"House of Fun" is composed in the key of D, written in common time.[6] It is a pop song which moves at an upbeat 126 beats per minute. The song is written in simple verse-chorus form, ending with a repeating chorus fade out (the original 7" release version/mix ends with a sudden keyboard "crash", followed by fairground organ music). The song begins solely with eight drum beats, before the keyboard, bass guitar, electric guitar, trumpet and saxophone are all introduced simultaneously.

The song is about coming of age. The lyrics tell the story of a boy on his 16th birthday attempting to buy condoms at a chemist. The UK age of consent is 16, and he makes a point of stating that he is "16 today and up for fun".[6] However, the boy is misunderstood by the chemist, as he asks for the condoms using slang euphemisms, such as "box of balloons with a featherlight touch" and "party hats with the coloured tips".[6] The confused chemist behind the counter eventually informs the boy that the establishment is not a joke shop, and directs him towards the "House of Fun".

Madness guitarist Chris Foreman commented jokingly about the song:[7]

I'm not sure about this one... I think it's about coming of age, I can't remember much about because when it happened to me it was a long time ago. You could buy a packet of fags, a pint of beer and a three piece suit for half a crown and still have enough left to go and see Rudolf Valentino at the Gaumont! I can't afford to go to the pictures these days but I hear they talk in them now.

Promotional film
A substantial portion of the music video was filmed at the Pleasure Beach in Great Yarmouth, with parts of the video featuring the band on the Roller Coaster. This was filmed on 7 March 1982.[3] The video begins with Suggs dressed as a boy entering the shop with Lee Thompson and Chas Smash behind him, playing the saxophone and trumpet respectively. On entering the shop, Suggs acts out the lyrics of the song, as a 16-year-old boy awkwardly attempting to purchase condoms, without much success. Suddenly, on the first chorus, three of the band members enter the shop, dressed in gowns and wearing sunglasses and silly headgear (much like Monty Python-esque Pepperpots), and perform a simple, rhythmic yet comedic tongue-in-cheek stepping-dance routine, supposedly acting as dancing pepperpots hired with the Pleasure Beach attraction "Fun House".

The band are later seen in a barbershop, before the finale of the song is sung on the roller coaster at the aforementioned funfair. The film closes with the band on board an infinite roller coaster loop as the chorus fades.

Despite the fact that "House of Fun" was not released in the US, the music video was shown on the newly launched MTV. Due to this, the music video, along with others such as "It Must Be Love" and "Cardiac Arrest", helped set the stage in the US for Madness' future song "Our House", which was their biggest stateside hit by far, peaking at number 7 in May 1983.[8][9]

Compilation appearances
As well as the song's single release, it has featured on various compilation albums released by Madness. It was initially included on Complete Madness which was released on 23 April 1982, prior to the release of the single itself. This album also hit number 1 in the UK at the time of the single's release, meaning Madness were at the top of both the single and album charts. The song was then included on the 1992 compilation Divine Madness, which was later reissued as The Heavy Heavy Hits. The song was further included on The Business and It's... Madness. It featured in the Our House musical, which was based on the band's songs, and as such appears on the accompanying soundtrack, Our House. Furthermore, it was part of the US releases Madness and Ultimate Collection.[10] In addition to these releases, the song also features on several "Best of the 80s" albums.[10]

The original single contained a 10-second coda featuring music from a fairground. However, subsequent releases of the song removed this ending with the track fading to a conclusion instead. It wasn't until 2010 that the original 7" version was reissued; it was included on the second disc of the re-release of the band's 1982 album The Rise & Fall. This is also the version used on the A Guided Tour of Madness compilation.

Madness - HOUSE OF FUN

At last a good song. The goofing around contiues...it's overplayed to death, but its still a good un'.
4/5

 

The Madness single had no U.S. release. As for what I may have from here . . .

The Higgins record had two cat. # prefices in the U.S., I naturally would have the first:

As for Mr. Clapton's number, this would have dated to 1974 - and in the U.S., was RSO Records' first #1:

(This was the first U.S. cat. #; it would later be renumbered SO-500.)

Honest??? I like the song better than the Belle Stars version......honest!!!!

 

However many times you hear House Of Fun, it is very difficult not to smile. Definitely a good un'.

 

If you are using the same reasoning, what do you make of Dr. John?

 

Not so keen.....

 

Besides those two, some other newies week-by-week:

 

Another good Cars single:

 

(More U.S. labels from this week in another post.)

 

More from 05 June 1982 . . .

 

House of fun - not a fan of the group but the song is fun and different. Blur must have taken some influences.

I want candy - a classic, great fun.

Iko Iko - always a Dixie Cups song for me but the Dr John version is refreshingly different and swings.

The back of love - cool

Thanks for explaining. Any female choosing Metallica those days would've been a little surprising.

 

Yes, Metallica was surprising, especially how well-spoken and smartly dressed she was on that first visit. Never judge a book by it's cover!

For some reason, there were a lot of volunteers when it came to the installation of the system.

I lost.

 

I would asked for her phone number!!!!!

 

I had her phone number, she had a big boyfriend!

 

Its one of them then....."gulp.....see you later!!!"

Adam Ant - Goody Two Shoes

2 Weeks At No 1

11th No 1 of 1982 and No 502 in total.




Following the dissolution of Adam and the Ants in early 1982, Adam Ant pursued a solo career. His début as a solo artist, "Goody Two Shoes" was written by Adam Ant and Marco Pirroni and produced by Ant, Pirroni and Chris Hughes. The song details Ant's frustration with press intrusion, which was reinforced by the video and his clean cut image.[citation needed]

The song was a hit, topping the UK Singles Chart in June 1982 and later repeating the feat in Australia, where it topped the Kent Music Report. Despite the success, this was his third and final number one single. In the United States, the song was his first and biggest hit, peaking at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.[citation needed]

There are two versions of the cover. The first has Adam and the Ants across the top of the sleeve and the later version just Adam Ant. This is probably due to the confusion around the timing of Adam going solo, particularly as the song was performed by three fifths of the band Ant, Pirroni and Hughes.[6]

There are also two different studio versions of the song. The UK 7" single version is notably different from the re-recorded version which appears on Friend or Foe. The single version has a different, more reverberating drum track. The Friend or Foe version, instead of Hughes on drums, features Bogdan Wiczling, drummer on the rest of the album.[7] This version also appeared on the US edition of the single.[citation needed]

Adam Ant performed "Goody Two Shoes" at Top of the Pops on 20 May 1982.[8]

B-side
Ant sometimes recorded new versions of his pre-1980 compositions for the B-side of his singles. For this single, an old Ant song from 1977 called "Red Scab" was used.[6] The song was regularly performed live by the Ants between August 1977 and January 1980 when the original Ants split. In mid-1978, following the recruitment of new guitarist Matthew Ashman, it was heavily rearranged from a mid-tempo song to a slow song (while retaining the fast ending). The new arrangement was demoed by the full band at Decca Studios in August 1978. This particular version was recorded in 1982 by Ant, Pirroni and Hughes. The song was revived for live performance in 1993 and has been a regular fixture of live shows since then.

Track listing
All songs written by Adam Ant except as noted.[4]

1. "Goody Two Shoes" (Adam Ant, Marco Pirroni) – 3:15
2. "Red Scab" – 4:06

The video presents a stylized vision of a day in the life of Adam Ant, from dressing in the morning to performing on stage, to being hounded by the media. At the end of the day, he takes home a woman journalist played by British actress Caroline Munro, in effect answering the song's theme question, "What do you do?" The video also starred veteran actors Graham Stark as the butler and Dandy Nichols.
