Salty is the second album by the New Zealand rock band The Mutton Birds, released in 1994. Four songs — "The Heater", "Anchor Me", "In My Room" and "Ngaire" — reached the top 20 in the New Zealand singles chart with "The Heater" reaching No.1.

"Don't Fight it, Marsha, It's Bigger Than Both of Us" was originally recorded by an earlier band of McGlashan's, Blam Blam Blam. "The Heater" is used as a plot device in the Christopher Brookmyre novel Be My Enemy; two central characters bond over it, and it is used as a contrast against the manufactured pop music made by a minor villain.
