The band first began performing the song at live shows in April 1980.〔 Retrieved on July 1, 2007.〕

==Music and lyrics==
Suggs later recalled in an interview that "I was very specifically trying to write a song in the style of Ian Dury, especially the songs he was writing then, which () often sort of catalogues of phrases in a constant stream."〔(Young Guns go for it: Madness ) (BBC documentary)〕 He contrasted "Baggy Trousers" with Pink Floyd's hit Another Brick in the Wall: "I was writing about my time at school. Pink Floyd had that big hit with 'teacher, leave those kids alone'. It didn't really relate to me, because I hadn't been to a public school where I was bossed about and told to sing 'Rule Britannia!' and all that",〔 having instead attended a comprehensive school with much less strictly enforced discipline.
