Hippopotamomus is the fifth studio album by British musician Momus, released in 1991 through Creation Records. The album's third track, "Michelin Man", caused Momus to be threatened with legal action by the Michelin tyre company. They were angered by his use of their mascot, the aforementioned Michelin Man, an anthropomorphic pile of rubber inner-tubes, as a metaphor for hypersexual rubber fetishism. As a result, all unsold copies of the album were destroyed and future pressings of the album omitted the song from the album.

La traccia Made of Rubber fu al centro di una causa legale intentata dalla Michelin a Momus. Infatti essa era inizialmente intitolata Michelin Man e paragonava la mascotte dell'azienda ad un pupazzo erotico gonfiabile. Nelle stampe successive dell'album le venne cambiato titolo, per poi però non venire affatto inclusa nella tracklist, risultando pertanto una sorta di "traccia fantasma". Bluestocking è basata su un campionamento del pezzo Time of the Season, singolo del gruppo musicale britannico The Zombies del 1968.Riguardo alla genesi dell'album, Momus scrisse: (it)
