Kev's Back (The Return of the Yobbo) is the second album by the bawdy Australian singer/comedian Kevin Bloody Wilson. The album won the first ever ARIA Award for "Best Comedy Release" and was nominated for "Highest Selling Album".[1] The album includes what is claimed by critics to be overtly racist humour.[2]

The song, "Living Next Door to Alan", is a parody of New World's "Living Next Door to Alice", and is about an indigenous family claiming land next door to millionaire Alan Bond.[2]
