On ‘Big Daddy of the Rhythm’, Burns flirts with his queerness: “ Big, big daddy of the rhythm / I can feel you comin’… Big, big daddy of the rhythm / I’ll send this sloppy kiss to you”.

A studio version of Rip It Up consisting of the original studio and remix versions of Dead or Alive's best known songs was released on vinyl, cassette and compact disc that same year.
