Viva la Revolution is the third full-length album by Dragon Ash; released in 1999. It is the first full-length album after Dragon Ash member DJ BOTS formally joined, creating the new hip hop/rock amalgamation sound which they have since become known for. It has been described as "the album where Kenji's polyphagia has been expressed best."

The song Communication is a new version of I Love Hip Hop with a different backing track and vocals to avoid copyright infringement of I Love Rock 'n' Roll.
