"Handsome and Gretel" is the third single by American punk band Babes in Toyland.

Drummer Lori Barbero talks about this incident in a 1989 issue of the zine, No Idea: Lori: I was driving in Arizona last week and I was thinking about being in a car accident, 'cause we've been in both earthquakes in San Francisco – the major ones – and I was thinking, "Gosh, we haven't been in a car accident."

And a tire flew off a guy's truck, through the gulley, out into the air a hundred miles an hour, and it blew the windshield out and tore the sunroof off and totaled the van.

The single was released on June 1, 1991 as a limited edition 7" by the independent Australian label Insipid Records.
