"Push th' Little Daisies" is a song by the rock band Ween, appearing on their third album, Pure Guava in 1992. It was released as a single in 1993. A music video was released, featuring Dean and Gene Ween eating various foods while fooling around and interspersed with them performing the song. The video and song gained exposure by being critiqued on MTV show, Beavis and Butt-head, in which a sample of Prince squealing was used to replace certain words.

The song was a hit in Australia, spending 13 weeks on the Australian singles chart and peaking at #18. It also came 40th in Triple J's annual Hottest 100 music poll in 1993. It was also successful on United States Alternative rock radio, charting at #21 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and is one of only two Ween songs–the other being "Voodoo Lady"–to chart on any Billboard chart.
