Smack Bunny Baby is the debut album from the band Brainiac, released in 1993 via Grass Records.[1][2] It is the only album by the group to feature founding guitarist Michelle Bodine. The LP edition of the album includes the track "Velveteen" that was not found on the original CD edition. An unknown number of the LP copies were pressed on turquoise-marbled vinyl.

Along with its successor Bonsai Superstar, as of 2016 Smack Bunny Baby was out-of-print and the copyright was owned by The Bicycle Music Company.[3] However, in December 2023 upon the 30-year anniversary of the original release, the album was reissued on green vinyl (and digital formats) by Craft Recordings, the reissue label of Concord Bicycle Music.[4]
