The song reached in the UK chart back in 1979 and the band still close their live shows with it to this day. Lee Thompson's saxophone takes centre stage here, but for those who wish to follow the lyrics, helpful subtitles are included, complete with bouncing marker.

NIGHT BOAT TO CAIRO was the song that many of us will never forget. That ska tune of yesteryear by Madness and I still love that song. When I hear it after I turn off the stereo, I still hear that echoing voice saying NIGHT BOAT TO CAIRO. Don't get me wrong, but the rest of the album is really fantastic as well. It's almost like a Best Of Part 1. One Step Beyond, My Girl, Night Boat To Cairo, Tarzan's Nuts, Bed And Breakfast Man, Swan Lake, & Mummy's Boy are just HALF of the tunes found here. If you are limited in funds and can only afford 3 CD's from the 80's New Wave era, you must purchase a CD from these 3 artists: Madness, Squeeze and XTC.
Night Boat to Cairo" is a song by British ska/pop band Madness from their debut 1979 album One Step Beyond. It was written by Mike Barson and Suggs and was also included on the Work Rest and Play EP, which peaked at in the UK music charts
Night Boat to Cairo" is one of several CD singles released by Virgin Records in support of the 1992 greatest hits compilation Divine Madness. In addition to the original version of the Egyptian-flavored ska tune - one of the most innovative songs from the band's early ska-heavy recordings - it features four 1993 remixes by master engineers Paul Gotel and the Well Hung Parliament. Gotel does an impressive job of turning a bouncy ska song from 1979 into a credible '90s dance club number by replacing Madness drummer Daniel Woodgate with uptempo programming.
If you want to know, "What is the Best Madness album of all time?" or "What are the top Madness albums?" then this list will answer your questions. The British ska band first formed back in 1976 and were together for 10 years before disbanding.
