Madman (Cuddly Toys song)

"Madman" is a song by the new wave band Cuddly Toys, which was released in Japan in 1979 and in the UK in 1980 as the lead single from their debut studio album Guillotine Theatre.

On a number of occasions, Bolan would visit Harley at his flat in Landward Court, London, and they would spend the evening and early hours of the morning writing and playing.

[2] In early March 1977, David Bowie was on a UK tour with Iggy Pop when he stayed at Bolan's house at Upper Richmond Road West, London for a few days.

"[1] At a time when Cuddly Toys were called Raped, the band's guitarist Faebhean Kwest was sharing a flat in London with the two men responsible for running the original T. Rex fan club.

[6] On its release as a single in the UK in 1980, Paul Du Noyer of New Musical Express praised "Madman" as a "good song" with "stark, sombre drama".
