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

I imagine the point is Force It and Faucet don't sound the same... unless you're from Boston.

Not sure what accent they would sound the same in, tbh. The vowel sounds are different, for a start.

Maybe they sound the same in a posh Cambridge accent like the Hipgnosis chaps had.

'British pronunciation' at the top here sounds a) like i would say it and ii) exactly like 'force it':

LOL British pronunciation

Hold on, how do Americans pronounce faucet? Fowse-it? Or force-ay?

I'm in the UK and have also always assumed it's pronounced force it (well, force ett but still very similar)

fossit

I'm in the UK and I pronounce the r in force and pronounce the vowels differently in both words.

crut otm.

Maybe the pun doesn't work well in the UK either. Maybe they FORCED IT

Lenny MacDowell, "Magic Flute" (not yawnsome per se, actually kinda funny)

Barbra Streisand: Butterfly

I didn't know Barbra Streisand went though a phase where she decided she was so famous she could just go by "Barbra" and people would know it was her, even without a pic.

Just listened to her Bob Marley cover on that record. Steel drum accents for the Caribbean feeling!

Fable - Get The "L" Out Of Here

wtf?

A Canadian trio I saw mentioned in a fb prog rock group. "Fabe" doesn't mean anything as far as I know, so there's no extra joke.

such a weird way to pose that hand

With titles like this I always imagine joke-deflating stage banter at the gig as a band member explains the name of the new album.

That one is a belter. Is the hand supposed to resemble a black angel or is that just me?

I thought it was a falcon (or some bird of prey) at first, swooping down and grabbing the L.

Man, that title could be a great dirty pun, in the right hands

It already is ("What's better than roses on your piano ...")

Franquito looks like he's in on the joke

Ah, ok, lol

Fake?

I believe so.

franquito is real, if you believe

To be fair, that one is kind of unavoidable: if you name your album "Circles", and there's nothing circular on the cover, then somebody in the art department was trying to get cute.

Circles is even better than that picture portrays. The vinyl had a die-cut cover around the largest photo of William and it was also a circle, of course.

(Album is decent, btw. Very Bitches Brew and Hendrix-inspired fusion.)

Fleet Foxes Shore is also another one where it's like, "Yeah, what else could possibly go on the cover?"

I stand corrected.

And obviously the correct version of that cover art going forward, I've just decided. Thank you.
