***Set the Booty Up Right*** is a five-song EP released by the [ska](/source/Ska)/[funk metal](/source/Funk_metal)/rock band [Fishbone](/source/Fishbone) in 1990. It was recorded shortly after the band hired former [Miles Davis](/source/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](/source/The_Reality_of_My_Surroundings)*, which was released in 1991.[3] 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](/source/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](/source/Fishbone_101%3A_Nuttasaurusmeg_Fossil_Fuelin'_the_Fonkay)*.
