Bad Habits by The Monks - Uhune

ALBUM

A spoof of punk rock led by the former rhythm section of trad rockers the Strawbs, this release holds up surprisingly well thanks to a clatch of engagingly humorous tunes. The subsequently politically incorrect "Nice Legs Shame About Her Face" was a surprise number 19 hit single. Other spot-on spoofs include "Drugs in My Pocket" and "Johnny B. Rotten." The gag wears thin over the whole album but about half of the album's 12 songs by Richard Hudson, John Ford, and Terry Cassidy stand up well on their own. A Capitol reissue of the original EMI release further exposed the album.
