To fill you with a little knowledge, according to Wiki... The name Scritti Politti was chosen as a homage to the Italian Marxist theorist Antonio Gramsci: The name is generally understood to refer to Gramsci's political writings (although the correct spelling in Italian would have produced "Scritti Politici"). Green changed it to "Scritti Politti" as he thought it sounded more rock and roll, like "Tutti Frutti".
Now don't you feel more enlightened?
Here's Scritti Politti and a cool little ditty from 1985... "Perfect Way"...
