"Buy Me a Pony" is a song by Australian alternative rock band, Spiderbait and was released in September 1996 as the lead single from the band's third studio album Ivy and the Big Apples.

"Buy Me a Pony" peaked at number 45 on the Australian chart.

The track satirises the initial enthusiasm a label has for a band, and its subsequent reversal, inspired in part by the bidding war that took place to sign Spiderbait.

"[2] At the ARIA Music Awards of 1997, the song was nominated for Single of the Year, losing out to "Truly Madly Deeply" by Savage Garden.

Triple J Music Director Richard Kingsmill said, "After three years of doing year-specific Hottest 100s we were still sitting back waiting for an Australian song to reach number one, and we were thinking, 'Oh, it's still years away for a Hottest 100 song that's Australian'.
