Married With Children is the eleventh and final track on British band Oasis' debut album Definitely Maybe.
The version of the song on the album is the original demo, recorded in co-producer Mark Coyle's bedroom at his house in Manchester, in 1993.
The line "Your music's shite, it keeps me up all night" comes from writer Noel Gallagher's girlfriend at the time, who said it to him because she was fed up of him playing his guitar at all hours.
The track is the only acoustic song on the album, but when the band played it live on the Definitely Maybe world tour, it was played all electric. The last time it was played live by the full band was at the Sheffield Arena on April 22, 1995. Gallagher brought it back 7 years later in October 2002, when he played the song during an acoustic set in Melbourne. He then played the song regularly during the back end of the UK tour between November and December 2002. It has been played on the acoustic tour to promote Stop The Clocks, at venues including the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto, Koko in London, and in Los Angeles.
The guitar used on the track was a Gretsch Country Gent, belonging to Stone Roses guitarist John Squire.
According to Liam Gallagher, the song only took around 30 minutes to record.
