"Greg! The Stop Sign!!" is a song by Australian alternative rock band TISM. It was released in August 1995 as the third single from the album Machiavelli and the Four Seasons (1995).

The song peaked at number 59 on the ARIA chart and polled at number 10 in the Triple J Hottest 100, 1995.

At the ARIA Music Awards of 1996, the song was nominated for the ARIA Award for Best Independent Release.^[1]

The song is based on a series of speeding advertisements released by the TAC (Victorian road and safety authorities), who are mentioned in the song.^{[citation needed]} The bridge is recycled from an earlier song called "Consumption Tax", which was recorded during The Beasts of Suburban sessions in 1992 and released on Collected Recordings 1986-1993 in 1995. The solo is a variation on the intro riff from The Shadows' composition "FBI".^{[citation needed]}

In December 2022, a limited-edition 12-inch single was released, containing early versions of the song dating back to January 1994 as well as its precursor track "Consumption Tax". The original versions from early 1994 used the riff from "The Ballad of Paul Keating", a song that had been written and recorded in 1992, before being rewritten and performed on The Beasts of Suburban tour.
