I have noticed that the adverts are using Ska again...it was that that prompted me to get a copy of "One Original Step Beyond" (which my Dad has admitted was in his glovebox after all...the tight old fool wanted to keep it for himself!! - Thanks to everyone who offered to tape it after my appeal!)
Perhaps the advertising world uses certain musical genres in cycles?! The OOSB tape came out in 1992 after EVERY advert was using old ska tunes (and I bought it with my first ever wage packet...aaahhhh) and now they're all coming back...nearly 10 years..more than a coincidence?!! Madness should be due for another revival soon!

Subject: [total-madness] Rants & Rav 4

Has anyone else noticed that Prince Busters version of 'Madness' has been used to advertise the Toyota Rav 4. It seems like someone or something has created a fair bit of interest in the old Ska classics with another ad featuring 'Train To Skaville' as well as a few others which have appeared on my box over the last few months.Would this have anything to do with a Radio 2 program which featured thats Suggs bloke?
 
What ever the reason I hope it continues.
