All songs written by Dog Fashion Disco except Grease, written by Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees.

• The track "China White" only appears as a bonus track on the European version of Committed To A Bright Future, and is the same as the Erotic Massage version, but with a different outro.
• The song Déjà Vu is a version of song "En La Noche" from Experiments In Alchemy, but with alternate lyrics.
• Recent pressings have "Scores for Porn" as a hidden track at the end of the album, while "Grease" is hidden (as always) in negative time before "Love Song for a Witch."
• The track "The Acid Memoirs" heavily references Timothy Leary, mentioning him by name and including the lyrics "Tuning in and dropping out"
• "Pogo the Clown" (which originally appeared on Experiments in Alchemy) is about the infamous serial killer clown, John Wayne Gacy.
