There have been at last 2 acts using this name:-
1: Broken English was a British band formed in 1987 by Steve Elson (singer and guitarist), who at the time performed in a The Rolling Stones tribute band. He wrote a song called "Comin' on Strong", which had a Stones sound to it. A friend heard the song and thought it was too good to be a one-off novelty song and encouraged Elson to put together a band and record more material. The first single did reasonably well reaching UK #18, however the two follow-up singles did not fare so well.
Steve Elson - guitarist and singer - now lead singer with The Counterfeit Stones
Jamie Moses - guitarist - performs with Queen + Paul Rodgers, Brian May and Paul Young
Alan Coates - guitarist - performs with the Hollies
Paul Fenton - drums - used to perform with T.Rex

2: Broken English is an Aborignal rock band from Ngukurr in the Northern Territory, Australia. Consisting of former members of the Yugul Band (1969-75), Broken English gained a following in the 1990s as a premier live hard-rock act. The band's debut album "Studio Sessions" was released on compact disk through Skinny Fish Records in 2001. While Studio Sessions is essentially a country record, Broken English's intense live shows have earned the band a reputation as a hard-rock band. Resultingly, Broken English have largely been ignored by mainstream country and indigenous music media in Australia and globally. The band has achieved a cult following through its renowned live performaces and the tenacity of archivalist listeners who have located a copy of the rare Studio Sessions album.

The lyrics to Broken English's song "Comin' on Strong" describe a woman who is both physically and emotionally powerful, with a "flame" in her eyes and a "fire" in her brain. The singer watches her from a distance, possibly at a party or club, as she flaunts and teases those around her. The woman is described as coming on strong, with potential to overwhelm those she seeks to please.
The repeated refrain of "she's comin' on strong" emphasizes the strong, almost aggressive nature of the woman in question, while the line "she wants to please / she's gonna blow it" suggests a feeling of desperation or a lack of control on her part. The use of the word "wild" to describe her also creates a sense of unpredictability and danger.
Overall, the lyrics of "Comin' on Strong" depict a woman who is both alluring and intimidating, with a powerful presence that commands attention.
