seems like we've moved on to "head-shakingly literal record cover depictions of the title"...which is I guess a big part of the records on this thread so far.

lotta overlap, but basically "awkwardly conveys agreeable inessentiality" is my main criterion here.

'Rise and Shine' by Kokomo seems to have an alternate cover as well?

Bunk Dogger - First Offence
sorry, hammering the hipgnosis a bit here
― john wahey (NickB), Thursday, 23 October 2014 22:05 (nine years ago) link
nah, you're killing it today IMO!
Listening to Dr. Hook's hits now. I knew the (sublime) "When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman" but there's some other good stuff... "You Make My Pants Wanna Get Up And Dance" is exactly the kind of good-times middling hit (or non-hit) that I expect to find anchoring one of these albums.

what does "bunk dogger" mean, is that UK slang?
it was the guy's name I think!

it sounds like it ought to mean something though

Joe Walsh There Goes the Neighborhood is almost the ideal of this genre of album titling
― There Goes Ryan's Scion (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Sunday, 2 November 2014 19:03 (nine years ago) link

― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Sunday, 2 November 2014 19:07 (nine years ago) link
Walsh also embodies the "Hey here's my album, whaddya want from me?" rueful shrug and grin that is implied by all these titles, his whole persona is sort of based on this aethestic
― There Goes Ryan's Scion (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Sunday, 2 November 2014 19:09 (nine years ago) link
haha Tarfumes you posted that same cover last summer!
still cracks me up though, what a joker that joe is!

Okay, who remembers seeing this stuff in the record stores and feeling sorry for these people. When those covers are 12" x 12" and sitting in the bins while Bee Gees albums cover the walls, you just feel sad and angry and go, "what's up with that?"
