I've never seen the film Son Of Rambow, but evidently both this and the previous track appear on the soundtrack. Even knowing that it's set in the 1980s, that's quite a coincidence. I presume the characters were born a little longer ago than I was though, because I was definitely too young to know about the Roxanne craze in mid-80s rap, and in fact I have no memory of this record at all.
Anyway, it transpires that Adelaida Martinez adopted her stage name to record an "official" answer record to a UTFO B-side, and scored a surprise UK hit with the follow-up. It's a decent early rap effort, although the production sounds a bit cheap now and the samples from old cartoons break up the flow somewhat. Especially when the track ends with a lengthy chunk of a Bugs Bunny cartoon that doesn't make a lot of sense in sound only. They wouldn't be able to afford that nowadays, I bet.
