Songs for Dustmites is the debut album by American musician, actor, and television host Steve Burns. It was released on August 12, 2003, by PIAS America. The album was produced by Dave Fridmann and Ed Buller.
After quitting Blue's Clues, Burns described himself as being "in a position where I could do what I wanted". He decided to collaborate with Fridmann and members of the Flaming Lips, a band who had previously worked with Fridmann. After receiving multiple offers from various record labels, Burns chose PIAS America. Songs for Dustmites is a pop/rock or indie rock album, and its lyrics are mostly about "science and love". It received positive reviews from music critics, although some of them believed that the album was only good because of Burns's collaborators.
The song "Mighty Little Man" is used as the theme song to the CBS television show Young Sheldon.
