Great Truckin' Songs of the Renaissance is the debut album by the Australian band TISM. Originally released on vinyl as a double album, it was later re-issued as a single compact disc. The second track of the album has a slightly different lyric on each version - the vinyl release's line "I want to shoot heroin through the eye" is replaced with the line "I want to shove a red-hot poker through the eye".
