"Our House" by Madness is now a fucking Maxwell House Coffee commercial

[Human Torch]

Just now, on Tweety's MSNBC show.

The lyrics have been re-written to talk about the "richness" and "boldness" of Maxwell House coffee.

Here are the original lyrics of the song, written before the copyright holder sold their souls to the devil for a buck:

Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleep
Brother's got a date to keep
He can't hang around

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our

Our house it has a crowd
There's always something happening
And it's usually quite loud
Our mum she's so house-proud
Nothing ever slows her down
And a mess is not allowed

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our

Our house, in the middle of our street
(Something tells you)
(That you've got to get away from it)
Our house, in the middle of our

Father gets up late for work
Mother has to iron his shirt
Then she sends the kids to school
Sees them off with a small kiss
She's the one they're going to miss
In lots of ways

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our

I remember way back then when
Everything was true and when
We would have such a very good time
Such a fine time
Such a happy time
And I remember how we'd play
Simply waste the day away
Then we'd say
Nothing would come between us
Two dreamers

Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleep
Brother's got a date to keep
He can't hang around

Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our
Our house, was our castle and our keep
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, that was where we used to sleep
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our street

1. How about this Minutemen song being used by Jackass and

some sitcome: Corona (snippet of the lyrics off top of my head)

the people will survive
in their environment
the dirt the scarcity and the emptyness of our south

the injustice of our greed
the practice we inheiret




All they use is the music to the song, no words. Damn, if you're gonna sell it, at least get the message out there too!

2. Don't I know it. That earworm has been in my

head, along with "All These Things That I've Done" by the Killers, for the last few days now.

3. Good for Madness

When's the last time they had a hit? Reagan's first term? That they're remembered at all outside of Two-Tone devotees is good news. In most cases, being a cult band doesn't pay for shit.

4. There are a few different versions of it, and it's been on

for quite a while. One version shows firefighters in the firehouse singing a version of the song appropriate to them. I foget the other version(s).

5. About the fate it deserved
