Other spot-on spoofs included "Drugs in My Pocket" and "Johnny B. 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.

A [[Capitol Records|Capitol]] reissue of the original [[EMI]] release further exposed the album. ==Track listing== #"Johnny B Rotten" #"Drugs in My Pocket" #"Love in Stereo" #"Bad Habits" #"Spotty Face" #"Dear Jerry" #"Nice Legs Shame About Her Face" #"Inter-City Kitty" #"Out of Work Musician" #"Ain't Gettin' Any" #"No Shame" #"Skylab (Theme from the Monks)" ==Album information== *Catalog: #14849 *ASIN: B00000729R ==References== <references/> [[Category:1979 albums]] {{punk-album-stub}} [[nl:Bad Habits (Monks)]]
