Rory Block - I've Got A Rock In My Sock! (1986) This was more horrible and 70s when I was assuming Rory was the 'doctor' in this shot.

The Temptations - Hear To Tempt You (1977) Kind of bog-standard hear/here stuff, but the underlining kinda takes it over the top for me.

The "what are ya gonna do?" shrug and hand gesture that Rory is doing is what makes this one all-time, I think. Reminiscent of the hundreds of movie posters in roughly this vein:

Is "banjo sandwich" some kinda of a pun that I don't get? Like a wordplay on some popular sandwich type?

Those are some good ones. No idea what banjo sandwich is supposed to mean.

on the one hand it looks like something some guy did on his laser printer in '94 but OTOH it's by a guy who once had an album produced by Lindsey Buckingham, so I consider this a major find for this thread

that egan cover is so bad you want to believe they were offering some kind of ill-advised commentary on those attitudes. but it is just about doin it with two cheerleaders.

it's album time, though -- that is genius.
stellar example.
it's album time is a great title, cover, and album! strongly recommended. thanks ILM year-end polls for turning me onto terje generally.

I can't believe I JUST got the pun in "Fundamental Roll." Album cover aside, that first Egan album is a wonderful slice of Buddy Holly-influenced pop rock, recommended if you're into Marshall Crenshaw and/or Nick Lowe. (Or Fleetwood Mac.)

Speaking of "roll" puns, I noted the Brand X pun that took me years to get - Moroccan Roll = more rock and roll, in the puns you had missed thread.
