"They Can't All Be Zingers" is a greatest hits compilation album by Primus. It was released through Interscope Records on October 17, 2006, the same day that their DVD, "Blame It on the Fish", was released.

"They Can't All Be Zingers" includes 16 digitally remastered songs that span their entire career, including a previously unreleased and extended version of "Shake Hands With Beef", the Tom Waits collaboration "Coattails Of A Deadman", and "Mary The Ice Cube" from the 2003 DVD/EP "Animals Should Not Try To Act Like People."

The Best Buy version of the album contains a bonus CD with 4 rare live tracks ("Those Damned Blue Collar Tweekers," "DMV," "My Name Is Mud," & "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver") recorded at Woodstock '94, including the infamous version of "My Name is Mud" where they were pelted with mud by the audience (in which Claypool responds by informing them of their "small and insignificant genitalia").

The album's title comes from a line from the stand-up act of comedian Neil Hamburger.

The CD's outer packaging is meant to represent a package of individually wrapped single slices of processed cheese. The inner CD case looks like cheese itself.
