Hip Hug-Her is the fifth studio album by the Southern soul band Booker T. & the M.G.'s, released on Stax Records in June 1967. The title track was the band's most successful single since their debut, "Green Onions" while their cover of the Young Rascals song "Groovin'" was also a hit (number 10 R&B, number 21 pop). The album was their last to be produced by Stax co-founder Jim Stewart, because the band started to produce themselves starting with Doin' Our Thing. The title track Hip Hug-Her is featured during the opening credits of the feature film Barfly (1987) with Mickey Rourke and Faye Dunaway.
