Biff Rose's self-titled 1970 album.

Paul "Biff" Rose is an American comedian and singer-songwriter. David Bowie covered the song "Fill Your Heart", co-written by Rose and Paul Williams, on his album Hunky Dory (1971). The song was also the B-side to Tiny Tim's 1968 hit single, "Tiptoe through the Tulips." Bowie played another Rose song, "Buzz the Fuzz," in live performance. Other Rose songs were covered by John Denver and Pat Boone.

Following the release of 1968's The Thorn in Mrs. Rose's Side, Rose made several memorable appearances on Johnny Carson's The Tonight Show from 1968 to 1970. He also performed his songs on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, American Bandstand, and Hugh Hefner's Playboy After Dark. He emceed the Atlantic City Pop Festival of 1969, and the Atlanta Pop Festival of 1970. 1978's Roast Beef was produced by Mike Nesmith and recorded in a single take.

Rose's later work differs from his early recordings. There is strong language in his lyrics, and he makes controversial use of racial stereotypes.

2005 has seen a revival of label interest in Rose's work. A US CD re-releases his Tetragrammaton albums and singles, and a UK compilation covers Rose's work from 1968 through 1985.
