Foolish Behaviour is Rod Stewart's tenth studio album, released on 21 November 1980 on the Riva label in the United Kingdom (RVLP 11) and on Warner Bros. Records in both The United States (HS 3485) and Germany (WB 56 865). The tracks were recorded at The Record Plant Studios and Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles from February to September 1980. "Passion", "My Girl", "Somebody Special", "Oh God, I Wish I Was Home Tonight" and "Gi' Me Wings" were released as singles.

The video to another song on the album, "She Won't Dance With Me", was the third video to be played on MTV when it launched 1 August 1981. The lyrics contain the use of the word "fuck" which was edited out by means of a foghorn sound playing over the offending word, and a crudely superimposed heron covering Stewart's mouth. In order to maintain a sense of continuity, the heron can briefly be seen again at around the 2.00 mark, attacking the backing singers before flying off.^[5]
