"The Fun Machine Took a Shit and Died" is a song by the rock band Queens of the Stone Age.

It was originally intended to be on the band's fourth studio album, Lullabies to Paralyze. The tapes were assumed stolen but were, in fact, lost.

The tapes got lost. Actually, they were just at another studio, but we falsely accused everyone in the world of theft.--Josh Homme, Rolling Stone interview, Sep 02, 2005 [1]

A rough studio version of the song was placed on a series of 7" vinyl records, handed out to those who had tickets to the cancelled London shows. The song was also performed by the band on their first live DVD, Over the Years and Through the Woods. A new extended studio version of the song has been recorded for a CD single to be released with pre-ordered copies of Era Vulgaris at Insound.com [2] and Newbury Comics [3] and as a bonus track for the German, Brazilian and Japanese editions of the album.
