Teeny Shiny is the fourth album by Melt-Banana. Teeny Shiny further developed the more "pop" sound of their previous effort Charlie.

It also features reworkings of two older songs. "First Contact to Planet Q" was previously recorded as "Sham Bazar", and "Warp, Back Spin" was previously recorded as "Crackhead Up or Down". Both of these 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.
