"Pray Naked" (a.k.a. "The Seventy Sevens") is the title of The 77s' sixth album, released in 1992 on the Brainstorm Artists, Intl label.

The band's first album after reforming with members of The Strawmen. Without consulting with the band, Brainstorm (or its parent company, Word Records) altered the packaging and marketing of the album, which was issued without a title (making it the second album by the band entitled simply "The Seventy Sevens") and with the title track's name blacked out in order to avoid offense in the conservative Christian music marketplace of which Brainstorm was a part. However, a short spoken word segment on Side Two still refers to the album as "Pray Naked." Most 77s fans still call the record by its intended title, and the band has also been known to "retitle" the CD when signing autographs.
