I'm Bound To Be Yours If You'll Be Mine is a title informally ascribed to two instrumental tracks by The Residents, which were hidden on the group's official website as MP3 files, as a Valentine's Day gift by the webmaster Big Brother; the tracks were only available on February 13th and 14th 2014 before being removed.
The two tracks (which apparently are little more than experiments by the group's lead composer Charles Bobuck) were shortly thereafter listed as an official Residents release on online music database Discogs, despite Big Brother (ostensibly) releasing them without the group's permission.
A little more than a week after the release of the two tracks, Big Brother posted a statement to the website clarifying that the tracks were not intended as an official Residents release, apologizing for "overstepping [his] authority", and promising not to release anything "not deemed official" on the website in future.

An apology from Big Brother[]
On February 22nd 2014, the following was posted to The Residents' official website:
A policy change for the BOG
I like to post some odd and curious bits of music on holidays, usually from the experiments of C Bobuck. I have never been given permission to take these liberties by Bobuck, Residents or Cryptic, but no one has said anything. Until now.
On Valentines Day some of you suggested that you expected a music link. Partly to make myself look cool, I found a couple of not particularly special tidbits and hid them via a link on the BOG. They were easy to find, but I made no announcement of their presence figuring it was be a here-today-and-gone-tomorrow situation.
I can be so naive. Now it is listed on discogs.com as a Residents release. It is not a Residents release, it is just me overstepping my authority. In the process I have forced The Residents to have a product they never knew existed. I cannot remove that mistake from discogs but I can make certain that it doesn’t happen again by no longer posting anything not deemed official.
I apologize to The Residents for misuse of their name and abuse of their trust.
Onward and upward. BigBrother
