AllBum.Art - Alternative Art-Work for Album and Single Covers

Disco Santa (Claus) was a terrible attempt by the Village People to score a holiday hit. The idea of Santa partying away at Studio 54 is not a bad one, but the cover is very badly executed. In the remix we see a group of holiday hits in their own right. Though they may have been dancing along with Santa it seems they are all now having a bit of a break. Probably just as well as dancing with no clothes on must be especially tiring. Bounce!

No remix as such here as Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer has been covered by so many artists, but none of them have produced a cover for their version. This cover is therefore a generic version that can be used on any of the versions you might have in your music library. In it we see someone who has been doing their college art homework and has taken an unusual approach to modelling Rudolph. They have cut out pieces of what must be felt to produce the antlers and as for the nose, well more felt and a red bauble. The best part is the canvas they have used. The question that remains unanswered is whether the canvas took the artwork out to a Christmas party with her, or whether she just stayed at home. We think Rudolph would have encouraged her to head out. Shiny!

The original cover artwork for Feels Like Christmas by The Feeling, does have a bit of a Christmas feel to it, largely because of the various Christmas-related items such as a tree and some presents, and even a rather spooky looking carved wooden reindeer/bat effigy. In the remix we find one hot babe who is doing a bit of feeling, and to her, what she has in her hand, definitely feels like Christmas. Can we have a go now please? Roundel!

Melancholy Jimmy Reed has got the Christmas Present Blues. Not much that can be done about that. But we can cheer up the cover of his single. Now let's think, what might cheer up Mr Reed? Perhaps a picture with some Christmas presents in it? Yes, that would be a good start. And what if they're wrapped in blue ribbon. Great, now we're getting somewhere. And to top it off, a busty blonde babe in blue lingerie too. Perfect!

Chuck Berry issues a wise mantra to the most famous reindeer in his song Run Rudolph Run, but the cover of this 1958 song does nothing to explain why it is that the one with the shiny red nose should travel so quickly. Is it to deliver presents on time? No! As we can clearly see in the remix, it is because a sexy babe in a bikini is chasing after reindeer with a shotgun, of course. That makes complete sense. Pull!

As the calendar flips over to December and winter approaches, it's time to start remixing wintery artwork. Today is the turn of JJ72 whose original cover for their single Snow only really represents the title of the song through the grainy interpretation of the odd picture that sits at the center of the cover. The remix is equally subtle as we see a young babe blowing snow from her icy hands. But look carefully and, oh yes, now I see it, she doesn't appear to be wearing any clothes. Arctic!

Whatever your view of British babe band Sugababes, Ugly is probably not a word that immediately springs to mind. Which is what makes the cover of their single so ironically misfitting, as the title is ugly but the picture is not. Leap forward some alternative babes to grace the cover who bring the song's title to life. Are they ugly? Of course that depends on your taste, but compared to the original babes, they certainly aren't pretty. Maybe a few fewer clothes may have helped. Then again, maybe not. Awful!

Over in little ol' England, November 5th is a day where they celebrate a failed attempt by Guy Fawkes to burn down the English parliament in 1605. Boy, do those guys bear grudges for a long time. But as a show of brotherly love, we bring you a remix of Firestarter by British band The Prodigy who no doubt had exactly this day of the year in mind when they wrote the song. The cover shows a woman trying to start a fire. In the remix we see a different woman but one who is far more successful, in so many ways. Ouch!

Hot Right Now? You will be when you see the remix to the cover artwork of this single by DJ Fresh Featuring Rita Ora. Let's, for once, just completely ignore and instead focus only on the remix. A babe (possibly Asian) who could well be naked but whose body is obscured by the towel she is holding and by the barrel in which she is standing. All around is snow and ice but under the barrel is a fire. So is she hot right now? Difficult to say but if the fire goes out she will certainly be cold very soon. Crack!

Another remix for Cliff Richard but this time with a Halloween theme. Mr Richard sings about a Devil Woman, but the cover of his single shows only Mr Richard singing about a devil woman. There's no indication of who the woman might be or what about her it is that makes her so devilish. In the remix we see the devil woman. She is clearly a woman and has horns, which must be why Mr Richard thought she was Ms Satan. Sadly for Mr Richard, it's just a dressing up outfit and Ms Satan is probably an angel in disguise. Presley!
