Riddles Are Abound Tonight is an album by Sausage, a band comprised of the original lineup of the California Bay Area group Primus: bass guitarist/vocalist Les Claypool, guitarist Todd Huth, and drummer Jay Lane. The album was released in April, 1994. The band followed the album with a short tour, opening for Helmet and Rollins Band. With Claypool's signature intricate bass lines and droning nasal lyrics, this album sounds much like early '90s Primus.

The music video for Riddles Are Abound Tonight features band members in hooded jumpsuits. The video was featured on Beavis and Butt-Head and presumably inspired Beavis' habit of pulling his shirt over his head and the name of his 'Cornholio' alter-ego.
