"A Kick in the Mouth" is the eighth single by Surrey-based rock band Reuben, released in June 2005.

It was received well in the music press, even earning the band a thumbs up from The Sun Newspaper, who called it 'seriously loud', as well as a 9/10 rating from the July 2005 issue of Rock Sound Magazine.

An old song that featured on the band's first ever demo, 'Betrayed', back when they were called Angel.

It was the first cover the band had ever recorded, and intended as the first in a series of covers by local bands who have long since disappeared in the hope of pointing fans towards their musical roots (see also liner notes of Very Fast Very Dangerous.

The 'A Kick in the Mouth' video was shot in a studio in London with seven real dancers and Ryan Maunder, the engineer who worked on the album, and who appears in all the single sleeves as well as starring in the video for 'Keep It To Yourself'.
