Not-So-Secret Cruel Tunes is a title ascribed to two short instrumental tracks by The Residents, "The Toy Factory" and "Ghost Music", which were released for free on The Residents' Official News Blog on December 28th 2007 by the blog's webmaster Big Brother.
The two tracks had previously been released as hidden tracks on the "Don't Be Cruel" single in 1990. In an April 1990 UWEB newsletter, Uncle Willie reported that the songs were listed on the master tape as "Song 1 & 2 With No Name".
The two songs later also appeared on the compilation album Chicken Scratching with The Residents in 2010, and the pREServed Cube-E Box CD box set in 2020. On both latter releases, the songs are titled "The Toy Factory" and "Ghost Music".
