It's a Man's Man's Man's World by the Residents is a 1984 cover of the James Brown song.

The U.S. version of the single is usually referred to as "The White Single", as it was printed on white vinyl with a blue iris as the record label. The accompanying plastic sleeve was printed with red "veins" to give the entire thing an eyeball effect (leading some to mistakenly label this as a picture disc). 4000 copies of this version were released. The b-side is "Safety Is a Cootie Wootie". The second U.S. release was a 5000-copy run on black vinyl, released in a regular paper sleeve, and sometimes referred to as "The Black Single".

UK releases on Korova Records were all on black vinyl and contained a different b-side, "I'll Go Crazy", which is part of the "Live at the Apollo Suite" from the album George and James.

The 1986 Australian release contained live performances from the Residents' 13th Anniversary Tour.
