Fight Songs is the fourth studio album by American country/rock band Old 97's, first released on April 27, 1999 (see 1999 in music). It features the song, "Murder (Or a Heart Attack)", which was named one of the top songs of all time by Blender magazine.

The group's second record on Elektra Records, Fight Songs is more slick and pop-oriented than the group's previous efforts, a trend continued on 2001's Satellite Rides. The song, "Crash on the Barrelhead" is rumored to be targeted at alt-country rival, Ryan Adams, while "Murder..." was inspired by a cat owned by singer Miller's roommate in Los Angeles.
