Our House was released in 1982 by Madness, a London ska and pop band, and became one of their biggest international hits, reaching the top ten in the UK and the United States. Its chorus, about a house in the middle of a street, became a staple of British pop culture and later appeared in adverts, television and nostalgic playlists. Online, short loops taken from the chorus are shared as meme sounds, with the repeated our section used on its own for comic timing.
