Darn Floor - Big Bite is the title of 1987 album by rock band Daniel Amos (at this time recording under the moniker Da), released on Frontline Records. It was later remastered and re-released in 2008 by Arena Rock Recording Co. in conjunction with Stunt Records, featuring additional tracks and bonus material.

Daniel Amos followed the ¡Alarma! Chronicles four-part album series with this release, the title of which came from an incident involving Koko the gorilla, who had been trained to understand limited amounts of American Sign Language. Koko reacted to an earthquake with the words, "Darn darn floor bad bite. Trouble trouble."[1]
