[edit] Title track

The album's title track "Strictly Rude" is largely derived from Althea & Donna's Uptown Top Ranking which topped the UK charts in February of 1978. While most of the songs lyrics have been rewritten to bear little semblance to the Althea & Donna version, the song's chorus sees the original line "Strictly Roots"[1] changed to the track and album's title, "Strictly Rude".
