The scene: Velvet Underground, last Friday night. The DJ starts into a set of ’80’s hits. Madness’ big mainstream hit, Our House, is playing. I’m dancing with Aussie Kate and her friends.
Me: This takes me back. I was fifteen when this song came out.
Aussie Kate: Oh yeah? Well, I was five.
Now I know how Orneryboy (you’ll need Flash to see the comic) feels.
[If you don’t mind overdosing on Flash, you might like Madness’ official site.]
