Strictly Rude is the fourth full-length album from Boston ska punk act Big D and the Kids Table. The album peaked at 42 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart.^[6]

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 1978. While most of the song's lyrics have been rewritten to bear little semblance to the Althea & Donna version, the song's chorus sees the original line "Strictly Roots" changed to the track and album's title, "Strictly Rude".

Noise Complaint

Possibly the album's biggest hit, it rose to popularity based on its popular DIY music video that is rising in popularity on YouTube and other video sharing websites.
