Defecate on My Face

* Original single
* 2002 promo EP
* Digital reissue
* 2022 box set

**"Defecate on My Face"** is the debut single by This Is Serious Mum, originally released in July 1986 by Elvis Records as a 7" vinyl record housed in a 12" LP cover, sealed on all four sides.

The A-side contains the song of the same name, and the B-side features the song "Death Death Death" and the Ron-Hitler Barassi diatribe "The Art/Income Dialectic"; all three tracks would become fan favourites, frequently appearing in TISM live sets for the rest of their career.

In September 2002 a new "Monosurround Mix" of the title track was issued as a white label promo 12" EP in promotion of the compilation album *Best Off*, with the Machine Gun Fellatio remix and 1985 "Springvale" mix of the song featured on the B-side. In 2009 the original single was reissued on iTunes, in a "Gun Nut Bonus Track Edition" also featuring a live version of "Death Death Death".

In August 2022 the single was reissued as a 7" + 12" + CD box set by DRW Entertainment and genre b.goode. The CD and 12" contain additional material, mostly from the unreleased 1986 demo tape *Muggy Climates in My Jockettes*. The A-side of the 12" contains three grooves that run simultaneously, meaning the listener will experience a different programme of songs (one including two unlisted tracks) depending on where the stylus is dropped.
