@#%&*! Smilers (pronounced Fucking Smilers) is the seventh studio album by the American singer-songwriter Aimee Mann. It was released by SuperEgo Records in the UK on June 2, 2008, and in the US on June 3. It was produced by Mann's bassist, Paul Bryan, and features the singer-songwriter Sean Hayes, who duets with Mann on the track "Ballantines", and the author Dave Eggers, who whistles on "Little Tornado".
The title of the album comes from an online conversation Mann read in which someone complained about the "fucking smilers" who would approach him at work when he was in a bad mood and try to cheer him up.
