Him Goolie Goolie Man, Dem is a five track EP by the Irish post-punk band Beethoven Fucking Beethoven (formerly known as Five Go Down to the Sea?) released on the London-Irish label Setanta Records in June 1989. It was both the last album by the band, and the debut release by Keith Cullen's then fledgling Setanta.

The EP was well received on release. Steven Wells named the record "Single of the Week" in the NME, and wrote that "the centre-stone of this jewel of a record is the kidnapping, tarring and feathering, mugging, shagging and destruction of 'Day Tripper'".[1] However, before the band could capitalise on this success, vocalist Finbarr Donnelly died in a drowning accident on 18 June 1989.
