Madness burst onto the music scene and rocketed right to the top of the Billboard charts. Their United States debut, "Our House," peaked at No. 7 in July 1983 and remained on the charts for 19 weeks.
American Songwriter excerpted a passage from the book Playing Back the ’80s: A Decade of Unstoppable Hits, where Foreman revealed how the song came about.
"I had this dirgy song which I took to rehearsals. Chas (Smash) had suggested we all write songs about our childhood, and he wrote some lyrics along those lines to go with my music," Foreman said. "We all started playing the song and eventually settled on a Motown-type rhythm."
The tune tells the story of life at home, seen through the eyes of a young boy growing up in a working-class British household. It paints a warm, familiar, and chaotic picture of family life.
The band would go on to have two more chart hits. In October 1983, they reached No. 33 with "It Must Be Love." One year later, they reached a high of No. 72 with the track "The Sun and the Rain."
Madness called it quits in 1986. However, their songs remain timeless staples of those who enjoy ’80s music.
