Here are fifteen songs featuring madness... in one form or another.
You don't have to be mad to enjoy Snapshots, but it helps...
15. Your Country Needs You.
Not the same Lord Kitchener who was on the recruitment posters. I'd like to have seen him turn his hand to a bit of calypso.
Lord Kitchener - Batty Mamselle
14. And so, we had a cuppa tea...
Lyrics, of course, courtesy of Bernard Cribbins...
Right Said Fred - Deeply Dippy
13. Take a crowbar to the stool.
Jimmy the buffet!
12. Legendary, according to Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins.
Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins starred together in a film called Legends of the Fall. Sadly Brad did not play Mark E. Smith. And neither did Sir Anthony.
11. Not a fan of clubbing.
10. Comes before Ann and somewhere in between Jim, Andre, Lloyd and Barry.

The Redskins - Bring It Down (This Insane Thing)

I missed the news that the Poetry In Motion man died earlier this year. Here's another one by him...
Johnny Tillotson - Out Of My Mind
5. A bloke in a German forest finds a child's house.

It's lonely on top. Mountain top. Mop top. Top Ten!
The Four Tops - Going Loco Down In Acapulco
3. Infant escapades.
The Adventure Babies - Barking Mad
2. Tommy Roe's Scallywag.
Tommy Roe sang Dizzy. A scallywag is a rascal.
1. Mixing his food, Andrew ate a clever, clever Eric.
"Andrew ate a clever, clever Eric" was a lengthy anagram...
