Official @RSDUK release 'Baggy Trousers' to come out this weekend! You can only get a copy exclusively from participating independent record shops on Saturday 18th June, so find your local: recordstoreday...
One of Madness's true anthems, 'Baggy Trousers' captured the imagination of kids and parents all over the UK when it was released in 1980. The video, which begins with that unmistakable "thing-a-ling-a-ling", finds Madness back at school remembering the fun they had. According to the song all Madness learned at school was "how to bend, not break the rules" and they've been doing it ever since.
Lyrics:
Naughty boys in nasty schools
Headmasters breaking all the rules
Having fun and playing fools
Smashing up the woodwork tools
All the teachers in the pub
Passing 'round the ready-rub
Trying not to think of when
The lunch-time bell will ring again.
Oh what fun we had
But, did it really turn out bad
All I learnt at school
Was how to bend not break the rules
Oh what fun we had
But at the time it seemed so bad
Trying different ways
To make a difference to the days.
Headmaster's had enough to-day
All the kids have gone away
Gone to fight with next-door's school
Every term, that is the rule
Sits alone and bends his cane
Same old backsides again
All the small ones tell tall tales
Walking home and squashing snails.
Oh what fun we had
But, did it really turn out bad
All I learnt at school
Was how to bend not break the rules
Oh what fun we had
But at the time it seemed so bad
Trying different ways
To make a difference to the days.
Lots of girls and lots of boys
Lots of smells and lots of noise
Playing football in the park
Kicking push bikes after dark
Baggy trousers, dirty shirt
Pulling hair and eating dirt
Teacher comes to break it up
Back of the 'ead with a plastic cup.
Oh what fun we had
But, did it really turn out bad
All I learnt at school
Was how to bend not break the rules
Oh what fun we had
But at the time it seemed so bad
Trying different ways
To make a difference to the days.
Baggy trousers, baggy trousers, baggy trousers
Baggy trousers, baggy trousers, baggy trousers

In the interview linked here ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mp9idL1lv9_UlJc.htmlsi=0VhwTouWVtxw4kXr&t=610 ), Chris Foreman, guitar, talks about the Baggy Trousers video. Apparently, Lee Thompson, sax, wanted to have dummies flying but it ended up with just him on a wire... and Suggs' reaction reflects genuine fun/amazement. Overall, this is a fun interview with Chris and people might want to start from the beginning of Part 1 of the interview.

Apparently, this is a sort of an “Another brick in the wall part 2” type song from someone with a different experience. The kids are of a later generation and generally lower social classes, they go to a less posh day school, they have more fun and the teachers aren’t evil by default.

@johnny hadkiss Didn´t mean to diss, sorry. It´s just that I´ve often thought, UK could be my second home country. I remember when I first time ever set foot on England´s soil, I really felt like coming home, not abroad, I´ve been to many places in the UK and it´s always been the same cozy, homy, familiar feeling. Now you know what I mean? There is a great, big place for England in my heart!

@@Chrishagen Ok, thanks for the update, even if Finland has been "voted" to be the most bestist, happiest country in the world, you know, that people here are at their happiest mostly because we´ve got it all so good. I have to say, that I am very lucky to have been born here in Finland. But as I have lived here all my life, one tends to find only the bad things happening here. Are things so fucked up there in the UK after Brexit as we are told, did everything change for the worst? It´s so hard to believe, since you´ve got a long history of independence and getting along over there, without any need from the likes of EU, to go forward and going on strong. You are more than welcome to visit Finland and I´d be showing you all the highlights. But after all I wrote here, you just can´t take Britain from my heart! You over there mean so much to me and I wave your Union Jack in my mind!

Except it's not baggy trousers anymore, it's stupidly tight trousers that taper at the ankles. They're the in-thing now. Won't find me wearing them though. Back when I was in secondary school in the 2000's, I wore a hand me down pair of Levi's that were about two sizes too big for me. A bloke who was a punk rocker in the 80's said I looked like a luddite in them. Good times 😂

The music video of the song was shot in Kentish Town in north west London: at the Kentish Town C of E primary school on Islip Street and the Peckwater Estate. The band's saxophone player, Lee Thompson decided he wanted to fly through the air for his solo, with the use of wires hanging from a crane.
