Behind the rhythmic joy of ska and the pantomime videos of the British group Madness, there were social and personal rifts. But they didn't want drama, but comedy, which is how the British working class was often portrayed in times of crisis.

Lluís Gavaldà of Els Pets could write a doctoral thesis on this type of song.
