Crazy Peoples Right to Speak is the third album by English new wave band Kajagoogoo, released in 1985 by Parlophone. The album was not a commercial success and failed to make the UK Top 100. The only single from the album, "Shouldn't Do That", reached No. 63 in the UK.
For this release, the band had shortened its name to Kaja, a name the band had previously used for the U.S. release of their second album, Islands . By this time, the band was a three-piece, as drummer Jez Strode had quit in 1984.
After the failure of the album, the band split up in late 1985. However, after the band was featured on the VH1 program Bands Reunited in 2004, renewed interest in Kajagoogoo prompted EMI to re-issue the band's three studio albums, including Crazy Peoples Right to Speak. The album was remastered and four bonus tracks were added to the original ten tracks: two remixes of "Shouldn't Do That", and two tracks that were previously only available in the single's limited edition gatefold double pack release in 1985.
