Severe Tire Damage is a 1998 album by They Might Be Giants. Most of its tracks are (sometimes heavily reworked) versions of some of the band's previous songs, recorded live in various concerts.

Tracks 1, 2, and 17 were recorded in a studio rather than onstage; track 15 was recorded in a hotel room. First Kiss was later reworked and put on the 2001 album Mink Car, with the same basic melody and similar lyrics but a substantially different sound and tempo.

Tracks 18-24 were improvised in concert, apparently based on the Planet of the Apes movie series. They are "hidden" in that they are not listed in the track listing on the back of the album, and there is a long space after the end of About Me, but the lyrics for 19 are printed in the liner notes and the songs do have their own individual tracks on the CD.
