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" [http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gary.hart/lyricsa/althia.html] changed to the track and album's title, "Strictly Rude".
