It features Herb Alpert on trumpet and was the sixth track on their album Rat in the Kitchen . Released in 1986, it reached Number 12 on the UK charts in 1987, staying for seven weeks . </P> <P> Although, like many UB40 songs, it is attributed to the whole group, the song was written by Astro . At the time lead singer Ali Campbell had just moved into a new home in Balsall Heath, Birmingham and was troubled by rodents . When asked by Astro if he has any ideas for new songs he replied, "Oh God, I don't care about the album for a minute, I've got a rat in the kitchen!" Astro, who sings lead vocals on the song, wrote the track in response . </P>
