Teeny Shiny is the fifth album by Melt-Banana, released in 2000.
The album contains reworkings of two older songs. "First Contact to Planet Q", which was previously recorded as "Sham Bazar", and "Warp, Back Spin" which was previously recorded as "Crackhead Up or Down". Both of the songs have the same lyrics but are musically different. They appeared on the Japanese compilation CD Lo-Fi ~Electric Acoustic & Radical~, released in 1995.
At the beginning of "Free the Bee" there is a sped-up sample from the 1984 film Repo Man.

The Sunday Times deemed the album "reliably unhinged, old-school Japanese noise madness ... 11 collisions of electric-toothbrush guitars, police-siren solos, Gatling-gun drumming and kindergarten screeching." The Austin American-Statesman wrote that the band "adds a (very) slight pop edge to their usual chaos."
