  • "House of Fun" is een single uit 1982 van de Britse ska-popband Madness. In Engeland werd het de eerste en enige #1-hit, in Nederland bleef het in de tipparade steken. (nl)
  • "House of Fun" är den brittiska ska/popgruppen Madness tolfte singel. Texten skrevs av saxofonisten Lee Thompson och musiken av keyboardisten Michael Barson. "House of Fun" handlar om en kille som just fyllt 16 (åldern då man får börja ha sex i Storbritannien) och som går för att köpa kondomer. Men kassörskan missförstår honom eftersom han använder lite krystade förklaringar på vad han vill köpa, tex. "box of ballons" ("en låda ballonger"), och skickar istället iväg honom till en skämtartikelaffär ("The House of Fun") längre ner på gatan. Den låg 9 veckor på englandslistan, varav 2 veckor som etta. Det är Madness första (och, i oktober 2007, hittills enda) englandsetta.Efter "Baggy Trousers" är detta Madness mest sålda singel i Storbritannien. "House of Fun" finns med på de flesta av Madness samlingsalbum. (sv)
