An instrumental with a very strange (but still good) video. The last song to be released from 'Absolutely'. Video features news clips as well as the band eating to different meals. The first at Venus Cafe and the second a posh meal with all of them wearing shirts and ties. Lee jumps on the table and bursts into another great sax solo.

Grey Day

B-side 'Memories'
Release date: 25th Apr 1981
Highest Chart position: 4
Weeks on U.K. Chart: 10
Also released on cassette

Written by Mike the song sounds how you would expect a song called 'Grey Day to sound, grey. The flip side isn't much better. But they are still two strong songs. It just goes to show that they can write more than just happy bouncing along type songs. In the video they all wore make-up which didn't go down to well with Mark which is why hes not looking too happy.

Shut Up

B-side 'A Town With No Name'
Release date: 25th Sept 1981
Highest Chart position: 7
Weeks on U.K. Chart: 9
12" released with 'Never Ask Twice' as bonus track

Another fast paced song which features another great guitar solo. In the video Suggs is dressed up as the theif and the rest of the band as coppers. All this leads to a brilliant 4 minutes entertainment. The b-side is another instrumental which proves that they are can write more than just good lyrics.

It Must Be Love

B-side 'Shadow On My House'
Release date: 5 Dec 1981
Highest Chart position: 4
Weeks on U.K. Chart: 12
12" released

Originally released in 1971 by Labi Siffre. Another song which is given the Nutty treatment with great success. It originally made number 14 back in 1971 but Madness took it to number 4 ten years later. A strange video with features Lee playing his sax in a swimming pool. The video also follows and an unexpected sad theme with Carl dressed up as an undertaker. I good song with a good b-side, a great package.
