Sicks is the fourth album released by novelty rock group Barnes & Barnes. It was originally released in 1986 by Rhino Records, and rereleased in 2005 by Oglio Records. Its title takes its name from the fact that it is their sixth non-single release (including their previous three albums and two EP's), and also that it was deliberately created as a "sick" album. A sticker on the shrinkwrap of the original LP read, "Warning! The sickest songs ever collected on one record."

[edit] Trivia
- The cover of the album is from the video of "Love Tap" from Spazchow.
- "I Hate the Boss" was originally on the "lost" album Code of Honor, and was reworked for this album. It appears in its original form on Kodovoner
- Pussy Whipped was co-written by actor Miguel Ferrer. It is through Bob and Bill's friendship with Miguel that got his father Jose Ferrer to appear in their video release Zabagabee.
