I've heard it speculated that the Madness song "House of Fun" was an influence on Carousel. Is there any truth to that?

MY ANSWER

You’d have to ask Trey to confirm that since he wrote Carousel. It’s quite possible as we paying attention to British ska bands back in the day: The Selecter, Bad Manners, The Specials, etc…. Madness was definitely on our radar.
