The single was recorded at RAK Studios when Dury was still able to perform. It was released after Dury's death, on East Central One / Ronnie Harris Records, in 2002. The song was one of two singles taken from the 2002 album 'Ten More Turnips from the Tip', (the other being "One Love" / "Ballad of the Sulphate Strangler"). The B-side to this single included two songs, "Books and Water" and "It Ain't Cool" ReceptionReviewing the album for the BBC in 2002, Chris Jones said:
Writing in 'The Guardian' in 2008, British comedian Phill Jupitus recalled seeing Dury's last gig: "I compered Ian Durys last ever gig at the London Palladium in 2000, which was such a sad night. After the gig he sent me this: lyrics to "Dance Little Rude Boy". He had such a good attitude: he said that he didn't have cancer, cancer had him, and would have to deal with him."
