Yesterday's Men

Yesterday's Men is a single of the British ska-pop band Madness from 1985 . It was written by singer Suggs and guitarist Chris Foreman and in England the twentieth top 20 hit in a row. In the Netherlands, the single sold moderately.

History [ edit ]
Yesterday's Men is like Suggs aptly said, "about which elderly politicians who think they are still in power," and stubbornly stick to the tenet today to tighten their belts so that it will be better tomorrow. "It's always the same ones who have to tighten their belts, who says that there is a tomorrow?".

The song was in December 1984, recorded with ex-Specials -member Jerry Dammers on organ and had to be released in early 1985; were it not that the recordings for the new album were laborious by the departure of pianist Mike Barson and the break with record label Stiff Madness which was the most successful act. Only in August 1985 appeared the single that was in line with predecessor One Better Day and the press with the later work of Roxy Music was compared; The B-side was written and composed by Suggs All I Knew and the picture disc was a two-year-old live-version of It Must Be Love added.

In the accompanying video clip pulled saxophonist Lee Thompson attention by posing as Hare Krishna dress and thus spread the rumor that he would have repented. Yesterday's Men was promoted as usual with television appearances in England, Germany and the Netherlands, on 10 September Countdown studio was visited. In Amsterdam perched Barson sat in the audience and was witnessed Suggs questions of Adam Curry answered about the departure of the "seventh" and the serious music that Madness had been measured in recent years. As a reminder of the heyday was Embarrassment geplaybackt.
