Pitch-Song choice and Artist Background

Song title/band: "House of Fun" by Madness

Genre/Style: Ska/Pop

Band Members:
Graham "Suggs" McPherson
Mike Barson
Lee Thompson
Chris Foreman
Mark Bedford
Daniel Woodgate
Carl Smyth

Record labels: Stiff, Virgin, Lucky 7 Records

Years together: 1976–present (on and off)

Song Released in 1982 and was their only number 1 UK hit.

We decided to change our idea from The Monkees (see below), as we felt that our idea was not specific, would cost a lot and the performance side of it would be too hard whilst wearing the suits. And whilst the song fitted in with the Monkey suit idea, we decided to do "House Of Fun" instead without the Monkey suits and with the idea stated above.

Original Idea
Song/ Artist- Hey Hey, We're the monkees (theme from the monkees) By The Monkees
Target Audience- Teenage girls
genre/Style-Bubblegum Pop (which was targeted at a teenage girl audience between 1967-77)

Our idea was to go around in Monkey suites doing different things and creating a narrative through the lyrics of the song, as well as incorporating performance.
