"Monty" arrived in August 1995, the second single Spiderbait pulled from The Unfinished Spanish Galleon of Finley Lake, the Australian band's second album, and it gave them something they'd never had before: a single on the charts, peaking at 44 on the ARIA listings.

The writing credit is split three ways between Janet English, Kram and Damian Whitty, and the band produced it themselves, with Lindsay Gravina engineering and Mikey Alonso assisting. Anyone who picked up the single also got a demo of "Jesus", a song that had first come out on a seven-inch.
