"'''Little Miss Disaster'''" is a song by [[punk rock]] veterans [[The Damned]]. Released via their own [[Lively Arts Records|Lively Arts]] label in 2005, it was the band’s first single release since “[[Shut It]]” in 1996.
The band’s line-up shifted again, with [[Stu West]] making his recording debut on [[bass guitar]] for the group, having taken over on live dates from [[Patricia Morrison]], who has began to concentrate on her daughter Emily and managing the band.
The song continues the style the band established for their '''''[[Grave Disorder]]''''' album, with their unique [[gothic rock|gothic]]/[[punk rock|punk]]/[[psychedelic]] sound, fast [[guitar]]s and swirling keyboards topped off with a dramatic vocal.
From 11 November 2005, the band began selling copies of the single on their ''Little Miss Disaster Tour''. The sleeve featured [[Emily Strange]] as a result of a collaboration between the band and the [http://www.emilystrange.com Emily Strange] website. On December 1, the single was made available from the band’s website, with a limited edition of 1000 vinyl copies (with a red splattered vinyl pattern), and on CD. The B-side, a live version of “Anti-Pope”, was taken from the DVD ''[[MGE25]]'', recorded live at [[Manchester]] Academy on 4 December 2004 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their album '''''[[Machine Gun Etiquette]]'''''.
