Moving Targets is a 1976 album by Flo & Eddie (Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan).[4] Illegal, Immoral and Fattening and Moving Targets were reissued on a single compact disc in 2007 by Acadia Records.[5]

The album features a guest appearance from Skyhooks lead singer Graeme "Shirley" Strachan on "Guns", singing background vocals during the chorus.

The song "Keep It Warm" is interpolated and sampled on rapper Gucci Mane's 2009 single "Lemonade" and, more recently, a portion of the song plays over the end credits of the 2023 film "Late Night with the Devil".[6]
