Donkey Rhubarb is an EP by electronic music artist Aphex Twin, released in 1995 under Warp Records. The music video for the eponymous song features Carebear-esque creatures with an oil painting of Richard D. James (Aphex Twin) on their faces. The "Rhubears", as James calls them, dance and frolic in the presence of children, but also display aggressive and obscene behaviour. For some time after the release of this single, the Rhubears were present at Aphex Twin's live shows. James has also admitted to having his friends dress up as them to terrorise lineups outside of clubs.
This song was also used as the theme tune for MTV's "Pure Morning" container.
Icct Hedral, a track which originally appeared on ...I Care Because You Do, was orchestrated by Philip Glass for this release.
