Songs About Fucking is the second and final album by the noise rock band Big Black. It is considered by many to be the band's best work. Included are covers of Kraftwerk's "The Model" and Cheap Trick's "He's a Whore".
Steve Albini has said that "Songs About Fucking" is the Big Black album that he is most satisfied with. In a 1992 interview with Maximumrocknroll magazine, Albini said: "The best was side one of 'Songs About Fucking'. I was real pleased with the way we did that. We just hopped into the studio, banged all the songs out and hopped out. Didn't take long, didn't cost much, just real smooth. Side two we recorded at a more leisurely pace and I think that hurt us. And that Cheap Trick song got on the tape and the CD by accident, and we just left it on."
