Kinda liking the Stuff It! cover - the frazzled hair, the way her white shorts make her top half look disembodied, the fact that "Stuff" in concentric circles is apparently their logo.

Is there supposed to be some kind of a pun here, based on the adjective and noun meaning of "potty"? Shouldn't the guy be sitting on a potty then?
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 13:31 (eight years ago) link
I thought "potty" meant "quirky" in English-as-spoken-in-England.

'Hard Labor' by Three Dog Night
The title and basic concept make it seem like something that should fit here, but it comes out a little too disturbing and ends up looking more like it should Devo album cover or something? apparently this version was quickly pulled in favour of a censored edition with a large sticking plaster over the centre of the image

not sure if it entirely fits -- the title is just swarbrick 2 -- but I've always found the cover of this one kind of hilarious and halfassedhttp://cdn.discogs.com/F2zILJJ4Sb79YGDCn27SZKy7_Qk=/fit-in/600x597/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(96)/discogs-images/R-2214839-1270396262.jpeg.jpg
