You Are What You Is jest podwójnym albumem Franka Zappy, wydanym w 1981 roku.

Geneza powstania albumu jest dość pokręcona. Zappa po wydaniu Joe's Garage, stworzył domowe studio nagrań - Utility Muffin Research Kitchen i zaplanował wydanie potrójnego, koncertowego albumu pod tytułem Warts And All. Po tym jak wspomniana koncertówka została ukończona, artysta odrzucił koncepcję wydawniczą z uwagi na rozwlekłość tego projektu i rozpoczął tworzenie Crush All Boxes, które z kolei miało być pojedynczym albumem zawierającym studyjne wersje "Doreen", "Fine Girl", "Easy Meat" i "Goblin Girl" na pierwszej stronie oraz suitę składającą się z "Society Pages", "I'm A Beautiful Guy", "Beauty Knows No Pain", "Charlie's Enormous Mouth", "Any Downers?" oraz "Conehead" na stronie B.

Podczas produkcji Crush All Boxes, Zappa zdecydował o zarzuceniu takiego wydawnictwa na korzyść stworzenia zestawu czerpiącego zarówno z Warts And All, jak i Crush All Boxes, co umożliwiłoby zaakcentowanie i uwydatnienie na jednym wydawnictwie wielu talentów muzycznych artysty. Tak narodziły się You Are What You Is, Tinsel Town Rebellion and dwa albumy live: Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar oraz You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore.

Większość materiału z You Are What You Is Zappa zaprezentował podczas trasy koncertowej trwającej od marca do lipca 1980 roku, a następnie rozpoczął nagrania w studiu.
