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

A triple-play from TLC and their song Unpretty. On the original cover you will see the three band members, who, as far as can be told, aren't specifically unpretty. On the first front artwork remix, is a scene that much more falls into the category of unpretty, or hairy, or hirsute, depending on your point of view. If you move your point of view about 3 feet further away, you would have the second remix, which surely few would argue doesn't qualify for unpretty with a gold star. Away!

Far be it from us to tell Extreme how to spell, but if they were aiming to merge two words together to make the title of their album Pornograffitti, then they went a bit wrong, as graffiti has only got one 't' not two. The original album front cover artwork shows what appears to be a smoking lad with a spray paint can. On the remix we find a babe looking decidedly porno in her pink heels and with her panties pulled down, and would you know it, she is kneeling in front of some graffiti (note, only one 't'). Bee!

Probably one of the longest song titles on AllBum.Art, The Bellamy Brothers bring us If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me. On the original cover artwork for the single, you will find the brothers, and what looks like a tree. Are they tree huggers, is that the body they want to be held against? On the remix we see a different scenario, two creepy looking men ogling a busty topless babe and you can see in their faces that they would like her to hold her body against them. Proximity!

Sitting on the beaches, looking at The Peaches, is what The Stranglers sing and we give them at least some kudos for illustrating what they mean by peaches, by having displayed an actual peach on the front cover artwork of their single. On the remix, the whole picture has just been made a little more obvious and three peaches are visible and these peaches are on beaches, or at least on one beach. Curly!

It is not clear which of The Pretenders is feeling tired based on the original single front cover for I Go To Sleep. None of the band members pictured look very soporific and nor are they dressed for bed. On the remix we find a babe who is also, it could be argued, not dressed for bed and nor does she look exhausted, but she is lying on one so that probably makes up for it. Snooze!

Taken from the Broadway show Kinky Boots, The Sex Is In The Heel is what Cyndi Lauper tells us. This is clearly demonstrated by her leaning back in a red leather chair, wearing a red dress and red shoes, and holding a red toffee apple. It's all obvious really. On the remix, a babe seems to be trying to have sex with a heel, which is clearly just wrong. She should listen to Ms Lauper's advice before she does herself an injury. Stiletto!

Could anything be easier to digest than the notion that Girls Just Want To Have Fun? Cyndi Lauper illustrates this on the original front cover artwork of her single by standing in four different poses next to an umbrella. Surely that's Girl Just Wants To Have Fun, not Girls..? On the remix we find two girls who are having a great deal of fun, as you can tell from the smiles on their faces and the piercings in various places. Grasp!

It seems like a simple enough song title to be able to create a cover for, but The Lightning Seeds seem to have failed on their single Change. On the original front cover you can see Mr Strawberry head (being the same as Mr Potato Head, just using a strawberry instead of a potato). On the remix a mature babe is changing out of her dress, and wouldn't you know it, there has been what, in the trade, is often called a slip-up. Nipslip!

Another remix for Franz Ferdinand. This time they are giving the instruction Eleanor Put Your Boots On. The original single cover artwork seems to have a picture of the Sydney opera house, and a roller coaster. No sign of Eleanor or her boots. On the remix we find that Eleanor has followed their instructions and has indeed put her boots on. However, in the process of doing this she seems to have forgotten to put all her other clothes on, other that is, than a pair of stockings. Bench!

Do You Want To? It seems like a harmless question that Franz Ferdinand are asking. And on the original front cover artwork, this question is accompanied by a puzzled looking man, pouting in front of a skyscraper. On the remix, we find a mature babe asking if you want to. To try and tempt you she has gotten naked and plunged into a swimming pool. The refraction of her figure through the water is having an odd effect, do you see? Splash!
