Madness - One Step Beyond (Official 4k Video)

Don't Watch That. Watch This...You are watching the official upgraded 4K video for One Step Beyond by Madness!

The song that provides the opening salvo to Madness' 1979 debut album of the same name. Who can forget the first time they heard the immortal, booming words of Chas Smash commanding "Don't watch that, watch this!"? The song is still the opener for nearly every live show they play; a veritable, instantly unifying call to arms for casual and die-hard fans alike. The video finds the boys at North London's Hope & Anchor pub, where they played many of their early gigs.

Lyrics
Hey you, don't watch that, watch this
This is the heavy heavy monster sound
The nuttiest sound around
So if you've come in off the street And you're beginning to feel the heat
Well, listen buster You better start to move your feet to the rockinest,
Rock steady beat of Madness.
One Step Beyond!

This might possibly be the greatest ska song ever made.

At least in the top ten.

[mr.l]

I like how everyone is still together after 40 years of being in this band

[WarhawkBeyond]

A song that always gets everybody on their feet in the pub with one of the most recognisable sax sounds of all time

[davidcanarte]

If this song does not cheer you up, you are dead inside.

[kellschapman]

This was played today at my Step Dad's Funeral this morning, He Loved this Group 💗 R.I.P Colin Stringer Forever in our Hearts, Love You So Much 💗🙏🏻🌍

[blondiloxx]

There are some things that simply don't die. This is one of them.

[FizzyWizzy-snes]

British and proud! And love to everyone on the planet

[Jeagles]

The intro is just brilliant. Makes me smile every time

[futureshock]

Nothing and I mean NOTHING got people on the dance floor faster than when this track was played in the clubs back in the 80's. You and your mates doing the the Madness strut, priceless, happy days 🌞👌

[theoldman]

I remember this song when I was in high school back in the 80's! We would do the Madness strut down the hallway and get yelled at by the teachers! Priceless, LOL!!!

[pappo]

I m Italian and I think that this is the most British thing in the world... Thanks England for good music like Ska or punk

[im]

Timeless. They can play this at my funeral... a fitting tune.

[TheAlbumGuy]

You know that a song is such a massive national classic when the sound of thousands of people singing along to the saxophone theme is more iconic than the saxophone theme itself.

[lordwalrusii]

I showed this video to my 17 year old son and he was blown away. Long live Madness!

[boazdriskell]

I thought I'd be nice so I wrote out the lyrics for anyone who wants to sing along
verse 1 - one step beyond ( repeat )
chorus - one step beyond ( repeat )
verse 2 - one step beyond ( repeat )
chorus 2 - one step beyond ( repeat )
bridge - one step beyond ( repeat )
last chorus - one step beyond ( repeat )

[SaltyPenguin]

Shit was so British that I looked up at my toast and it suddenly had beans on it.

[CgGoil]

I saw them about ten years ago, at a music festival in Denmark(Roskilde), not knowing what i was in for. One of the guys in my camp was the only one of us, who knew them, and he demanded that we all went i saw them. They opened with this song, and holy shit, what a party!!!!

[Imanimal-lover]

Teaching the dances to the Grandchildren 😊 One Step Beyond !! 2023

[thomasdearment]
