'''''Bad Habits''''' is an [[album]] by [[The Monks (punk band)|The Monks]], released in 1979, and re-released on 28 December 1999.
This album is a [[parody|spoof]] of [[punk rock]] led by the former [[rhythm section]] of the [[traditional|trad]] [[rockers]], [[Strawbs]]. The subsequently politically incorrect "Nice Legs Shame About Her Face"<ref name="British Hit Singles & Albums">{{cite book

Rotten". The [[song]]s are [[songwriter|composed]] by [[Richard Hudson (musician)|Richard Hudson]], [[John Ford (British musician)|John Ford]] and Terry Cassidy.
The song "Love in Stereo" has at times been embraced as something of a [[theme song]] by the [[polyamory]] movement. However, it may be debated whether the meaning actually refers to one man in love with two women or one man in love with one woman whose wants and habits change a lot from moment to moment.
A [[Capitol Records|Capitol]] reissue of the original [[EMI]] release further exposed the album.
