The misspelling is apparently NOT intentional!

Here's a corrected copy, from the band's official website:

As a bonus, here's Ron Perkov's bio ("vocal and business degrees"???)

Ron is a graduate of Indiana University with vocal and business degrees. With the support of his family, he ventured to his dreams.

A beautiful aura surronds Ron Perkov that you can see in pictures and in person. Take a look, he is HOT. Check the vocals, they're like sugared dynamite. So, do you wanna be the only one not rising up to Ron Perkov's occassion?


About Funky


It's 2000 and we're gonna party right with someone who smoothes away your fears and leads you to the dance floor with the sincerity of a first kiss. Ron Perkov's remake of "Dance With Me" does just that. He has brought to life the timeless classic from the legendary Peter Brown of TK Records and given it a whole new perspective.


Ron Perkov has joined the high ranks of such producers as Victor Calderone, David Knapp of South Beach, and rap artists Frick & Frack.


With his new song "Funky," he has been joined by other successful producers, such as Eddie Baez, Frankie Medina from Los Angeles, Paul Andrews and Mark Cicero.


And the background of creating such classics you ask? Dionne Warwick. Ron has been a long time friend and associate of Dionne working as her background vocalist. After learning in the shadows of greatness and taking those lessons to heart, mind and soul, it became clear that to truly shine, Ron Perkov would have to step out into his own spotlight. And shine is what this man does best.

three months pass...
Aw man, I *loved* that Swervedriver song, "Last Train to Satansville". The rest of the album, "Mezcal Head", was even better. You need to hear "Duress" and "Girl on a Motorbike". I'll agree that the album cover was lousy, but remember this: the artwork for "Raise" was awesome and the music in it was trash. "Mezcal Head" was the album that Bush, Eve 6, and Incubus wish they could write and never could nor will.

I notice that a lot of these covers aren't as bad as the posters think. "Agressively whacked out" has been a fashion statement in the Indie world, from the late 1980s on, and it's not going to abate. Even some of those pseudo-"artsy" covers are quite cool, like that Yanni / Dali cover. They won't be in 2014's list of Worst Covers, despite that y'all don't like them... sorry to break it to ya. And Wiley, Pet Shop Boys, Oasis, New Order etc don't belong here at all. Bland, debatable; comically bad, hell no.

The rest of the LPs here are awesome, though. I laughed, I cried, I put on some Tchaikovsky instead. Al Jolson: may God have mercy on your soul. NOFX: I know you were -trying- to make a crap cover... guess what, you succeeded, and I don't want your album, you sheepf0rqers. Gurf Morlix: your cover's not bad; your title is a "load of caca". Prince: PUT SOME DAMN CLOTHES ON.

Oh, and go find Mezcal Head by Swervedriver, and buy it. Most Underrated Album Ever. Just don't listen to it while drunk, depressed, or with the lights down. Trust me on this one.

it's funny, as i was rescrolling down this thread i saw my post and thought, that cover is actually genius.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 18 July 2004 13:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I knew this would end up here, and was surprised it hadn't before. Well, I don't think it's bad. Better for sure than Wild Mood Swings or Bloodflowers.

Seb (Seb), Sunday, 18 July 2004 15:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Sadly, I couldn't locate the truly awesome cover where both Nugent's arms have literally turned into guitars - that's the best one.

The new Bloodhound Gang album cover sets the new level for bad.

You don't need to explain it. You see it, and just say "Wow, this achieves new levels of bad."

I'd post a pic, but it would make this thread NSFW.

That BSS cover isn't so much bad as yawnsomely generic.

I quite liked the Pitchfork feature today on this topic :)

Acid house girls and flowers (fandango), Monday, 14 November 2005 22:35 (twenty years ago)

Doesn't compare to the worst ones here, but the new My Morning Jacket cover is really bad:
