"American Thighs" is the debut album by alternative rock band Veruca Salt. It was released though Minty Fresh Records on September 27, 1994 and re-released through DGC Records on November 8, 1994 (see 1994 in music). The title "American Thighs" is a reference to a line of the AC/DC song "You Shook Me All Night Long."
