The 'old school tie' is used by the British press and many native English speakers as a metaphor for old-boy social networks, nepotism, and the relatively disproportionate success of former pupils of major public schools, especially in politics and business. For example, after the 2010 General Election, The Times noted that 6% of the parliamentary Tory Party were Old Etonians, under the headline "Tories' old school tie still rules". Five years later, in 2015, the New Statesman observed that, "The power of the old boys' network lives on: privately educated students earn more than those with identical qualifications educated by the state".

An old school tie or old boys tie is a tie that, on leaving school, former pupils are entitled to wear. They will be in their old school or old-boy society colours. According to protocol, it may only be worn by former pupils. This symbol can be a discreet passport to the old boy network, and such ties can be an indication of one's social standing.

ASI Entertainment has used Mr. Magoo cartoons to "warm up" audiences when testing television comedy pilots. Mr. Magoo's catchphrase was "Oh Magoo, you've done it again!" Mr. Magoo is an alumnus of Rutgers University, Class of 1928. The reason behind this is that his creators wanted him to be "a college alumnus who was still fired up with the old school spirit [and they felt] Rutgers was the embodiment of the 'old school tie' in America.".

He also refers to seeing action at the Battle of Anzio, and been in Africa during World War Two. Rigsby is also a tremendous snob, obsessed with being perceived as middle class. He often affects an 'old school tie' attitude- another of his fantasies. While Rigsby tries to flirt with the upper-classes, when they invariably reject him he distances himself, declaring himself to be a self- made man and calling the prospective Conservative candidate an 'upper-class twit' after he refers to Rigbsy's lodging house as the 'unacceptable face of capitalism' and accuses Rigsby of having cheated at billiards in the local conservative club.

The album includes two of Hammill's most frequently performed ballads, "Been Alone So Long" (written by Judge Smith) and "Shingle Song", and a reworking of Van der Graaf Generator's first single from 1968, "People You Were Going To". The album saw Hammill's first use of the Hohner clavinet D6 keyboard, which went on to feature prominently on the next few Van der Graaf Generator albums (particularly Godbluff). In the song "Pushing Thirty" (from The Future Now, 1978), Hammill claims that he "still can be Nadir". The Rikki Nadir persona returned in October 1979, when Hammill released a single titled "The Polaroid" under the name, with "The Old School Tie" from pH7 as the B-side.

The song's lyrics, in common with many Jam tracks, contain colloquial references to life in Britain, including: Literally, the first part of the line means "drink up your beer and collect your cigarettes", though in this case it is likely a double entendre referring both to a group of friends hurriedly leaving a pub, and to the British boarding school practice of fagging; a hierarchical authority structure in which younger students acted as personal servants to those in higher forms. With regard to the latter part, Slough is a town near Eton. The two districts have a history of class conflict, with Slough in particular as a result of it having been used for various sociology experiments by urban planners and politicians from the 1960s to the 1990s (a common target in Paul Weller's lyrics in The Jam). "What chance have you got against a tie and a crest?" is a reference to school uniform and badges, particularly the influence of the "old school tie".
