Album Covers featuring Yawnsomely Literal Cover Art in regards to said album's title.

in today's edition of Phrases that, when you see them, you inexplicably start singing them to the melody of something else (and then will forever be associated with that):

also, was immediately reminded of Feargal Sharkey (yeah, yeah), but Mr Husky actually predates him by quite a lot.

Thanks to Kenny Everett I am familiar with this classic track by Ferlin.

NV knew where it was at.

Up Pops Ramsey Lewis

i don't think this ever showed up here, surprisingly

Can - Opener

1981 seems decidedly late to the party for yawnsomely literal album covers, but there you have it.

Bob James - Hands Down

Yawnsome literalness can strike at any time in any era.

That's a cool cover - I'd contend literal but not yawnsome. Is the album any good?

Teddy Charles - Vibe-Rant

Just 40 minutes of Teddy vocally berating his tuned percussion.

really love that cover

that is awesome!

beautiful cover. looks like that heavy, glossy kind of cardboard sleeve, too.

would buy for 4.98 3.98

love that teddy charles cover. Also, teddy charles is really good.

1981 seems decidedly late to the party for yawnsomely literal album covers, but there you have it.

It's 2021 and Zara Larsson Poster Girl wants the party to carry on.

This thread is an embarrassment of riches

wow "Lipseye"

hoping thats pronounced "Lie-Psi"

now do Lipseye Buck-in’-Ham

I don't understand why they didn't call their record "Reaching for Gulls." I do respect the pixelated font though

Allan Clarke ‎– Headroom

Nice.

Enticing.

Nailed it!

also a very viable title

Hopefully not a duplicate of, like, an unlabelled dead link from 2004. (Whatnauts - On the Rocks)

https://img.discogs.com/2dg2s__1WYtMGc7asKF4_3Kn7HM=/fit-in/586x573/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-1910855-1336028273.jpeg.jpg

Doubly yawnsomely literal.

still looking pretty cool tbh, dig that title design

While we're on the rocks, seems like this has to already be here somewhere, but didn't find it:

Rusty Wier • Black Hat Saloon

That's kind of amazing faux Hipgnosis work

I have a feeling this is sardonically the other way round, as in the image came first and they literally named the album after it.

Motorpsycho - Still Life With Eggplant

I love that, aside from the band logo, Kim Hiorthøy did the layout as one of his Rune Grammofon covers. Same typeface and all.

Addie Harper & the Wick Trio, "On the Road By the River"

lol, going beyond yawnsomely literal to the level of "google image search results for said album's title"

The Tubes - Love Bomb

This one cracks me up whenever I see it... someone decided at the last minute that the cover needed some yawnsome literal-ness.

René & Angela ‎– Wall To Wall

they knew that you haven't really made it until you're in this thread

it also positions itself quite awesomely literally as a follow-up to MJ’s Off the Wall...

...which is a prime example of the thread premise itself (and may or may not have been posted here before)
