Our House is a 1982 single by the British ska-pop band Madness, built around its singalong chorus about life in the middle of the street. It became one of the band's signature hits in the UK and a staple of eighties pop compilations. Short excerpts circulate widely as meme audio because the chorus is instantly recognizable even out of context. Creators favor 10 to 15 second cuts that capture the hook without needing the full song, keeping it popular for house tours, family jokes and nostalgia edits.
