The title is derived from "ecky-thump", a Lancashire colloquial response of surprise, popularized by an episode of the 1970s UK comedy series The Goodies. On Later with Jools Holland (broadcast June 1, 2007) Jack attributed the album's name to its use as an exclamation by his wife, who is from Lancashire. He added that the deliberate misspelling was to make it easier for an American audience to identify with.The liner notes for Icky Thump also suggest the spelling variation was due to concerns over copyright infringement.
Ironically, the pearly costume "theme" that the band used for this album is a traditional Cockney outfit, somewhat contrary to the Northern dialect of the title.
