From Madness's second album Absolutely and released in January 1981, the video for The Return Of The Los Palmas 7 comprises random footage (the Apollo rocket take off, the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, Björn Borg serving at Wimbledon etc) interspersed with groups scenes of the band in a greasy spoon and an elegant restaurant. Filmed in the Venus Café in West London and Kenwood Park in North London, the band even appear dressed as cowboys. Waiter!

What I wouldn't give for a full instrumental album with songs like this from the boys.

From memory the band never intended this to be a single and was created as an instrumental filler as 'Absolutely' did not have one. Stiff head Robbo saw potential to Jazz it up a bit with its 'Radio 2 Appeal' , so got the lads to re-record it and the rest as they say, is history. Inline with some other comments, I never regarding Madness as ska band and only their first two singles that could really be called that. Their influences and diversity were key and if they had of been just a Ska band, they would of been totally washed up by early '81.

Wouldn't it be great to get everyone who appeared in this video back together for a photograph at the very same cafe in London! And just see how everyone's changed. (well I'd think it'd be great, anyway)

What I have never known is this: did Madness actually write the music for this or is it covered? Its an amazing tune and song.

At last a video that says what it means,(after 1st wasted 45 seconds).Flying off like to another planet(Los Palmos), and then the rejoice of returning back to Blighty, and its associate cultures. Even leaden,wet,grey sky at end outside inner city greasy spoon cafe, couldn't have been timed better. My joint favourite Madness song with Uncle Sam and Wings of a dove.Good Post.Thanks.
