Pray for Mojo is a 1999 album by the American ska punk band Mustard Plug.[4][5] The title comes from an episode of The Simpsons, "Girly Edition", which first aired in April 1998.[6]

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "what makes this ska core group special is the fabulous horn section of trumpeter Brandon Jenison and trombonist Jim Hofer."[2] The New Haven Register called the album "pop with sharp enough hooks and plenty of enthusiasm, and maybe a little bit of maturity..."[7]
