Apparently Madness have sold out.

Or is putting past hits into beer adverts not selling out but carefully extracting full value from a back catalogue?

    It’s a good advert though. “Selling out”, seems to mean self-appointed guardians of ethics, wannabes and never-weres to a person, taking umbrage at actions by those who did make it in which they have no commercial interest whatsoever.

    When was the last time you saw Suggs and the boys flogging Socialist Worker on the street corner.

    They are a bunch of Camden Town wide boys and proud of the fact.

    Love the lads.

    Weren’t they the ones who were criticised by the lefty music press about their fans making Nazi salutes at concerts, and said something along the lines of ‘we don’t care if their Nazis, so long as they buy a ticket’?

    Never liked the original; the treatment of the song in the ad, though, is brilliant.
