'''''Set the Booty Up Right''''' is a five-song EP released by the [[ska]]/[[funk metal]]/rock band [[Fishbone]] in 1990. It was recorded shortly after the band hired former [[Miles Davis]] music director John Bigham on guitar and keyboard (though Bigham is not pictured in the band photo on the back cover of the CD). The EP served as a stopgap release for fans, due to production delays for the full album ''[[The Reality of My Surroundings]]'', which was released in 1991.<ref>Thompson, Dave. "Fishbone." Funk. Milwaukee: Hal Leonard Corporation, 2001. 302-03. Print.</ref> The EP features two alternate versions of the song "Bonin' in the Boneyard" (the original version of which is found on the 1988 album ''[[Truth and Soul]]'') as well as three new studio tracks. It has long been out of print, but the track "Love and Bullshit" was included on the 1996 retrospective ''[[Fishbone 101: Nuttasaurusmeg Fossil Fuelin' the Fonkay]]''.
