Here Today, Tomorrow Next Week! is the second studio album by Icelandic alternative rock band The Sugarcubes, released in September 1989 through Elektra Records. A version of the album sung in Icelandic titled Illur Arfur! (English: Bad Legacy!) was released as well, with the same English track listing, under the name of Sykurmolarnir (The Sugarcubes in Icelandic). The album reached #70 on the Billboard 200, #15 on the UK Albums Chart and #1 on the UK Indie Albums chart. The album wasn't as well received by critics as their critically acclaimed debut album, Life's Too Good, and was criticized for Einar's greater vocal contribution.[4][5]

The album spanned three singles: "Regina" which reached #2 on the Alternative Songs chart, "Tidal Wave" and "Planet". All three singles were also released a music video, as well as "Eat the Menu".

The name of the album was inspired by Mr. Toad from the famous children's book The Wind in the Willows.[4]
