There's hardly any info about this obscure Belgian? group. They released only one or two 45s in the early 60s.

The Madison is a novelty dance that was popular in the late 1950s to mid-1960s.
It was created and first danced in Columbus, Ohio, in 1957. The local popularity of the dance and record in Baltimore,
Maryland, came to the attention of the producers of The Buddy Deane Show in 1960. Picked up by dance shows across the
country, it became widely popular.
The Madison is a line dance that features a regular back-and-forth pattern interspersed with called steps. Its popularity inspired
dance teams and competitions, as well as various recordings, and today it is still sometimes performed as a nostalgic dance.
The Madison is featured in the John Waters movie Hairspray (1988), and it continues to be performed in the Broadway musical Hairspray. Both the film and the musical feature one of many songs released during the Madison "craze" in the US.
But it was also very popular in Europe, where many Madison themed recordins were made in the early 60s.
