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

Eminem, or 'Pinky McToosh' as he is known here at AllBum.Art for reasons that are far too complex and involved to explain here, has become, it seems, a character from Sesame Street on the cover of his single Ass Like That. Of course, what is really needed is an ass, and preferably one that's like that. If, by 'like that' you meant a plump mature babe playing pool then the remix is for you. If it doesn't, then nothing to see here. Eight!

So You Wanna Go The Whole Way? That is the question that Swedish songsters Roxette are succinctly asking. The answer, according to the cover of their single is, 'take a look at my cool sunglasses', which for us does not seem to answer the question at all. Maybe that's how they work in Sweden. We work a little less abstrusely, and in the remix we see a mature babe who is asking the question in a much more obvious way. The real question is, 'what is your reply?' Maybe!

Larry Williams sings of a Short Fat Fannie. But on the cover of his original recording, there is only Mr Williams to view with no help constructing a mental picture of what Fannie might look like. If it weren't for the title we wouldn't even know how tall or plump she was. Thankfully the remix solves this problem and we can see what Fannie looks like. Perhaps not surprisingly, she is short and rather chubby, and might better be described as a blubbery big woman (BBW), just like Mr Williams suggested. Coherence!

Cabin Crew are very definitely waiting for a Star To Fall, the original cover artwork of their single makes this very clear with its vert repetitive text which repeats the same text again and again and again in a very repetitive fashion that repeats itself a lot. But where are the cabin crew? On the remix of course, where they're serving drinks to the passengers. Nice uniforms!

Ah, yes. Soft Cell and Bedsitter. What could possibly say 'bedsitter' more than standing in front of a blue wall covered in knives, spoons and various other kitchen accoutrements. Obviously nothing, if you're the band members. But for us, two alternatives spring to mind. Firstly, a babe sitting on a bed (that's the really obvious choice). In the first instance a cute one, and in the second, representing the generally lower quality of accommodation that bedsits usually represent, a somewhat lower quality babe. Floppy!

So it seems that on the original cover artwork for Everytime It Rains by Ace Of Base, we find the four band members of which at least three are wearing some kind of waterproof clothing (it's not clear if the tunic being worn by the dark-haired babe would provide much protection against precipitation). On the remix we find a babe who has not taken this measure of protection and who has found herself out in the rain in nothing more than a flimsy t-shirt which has provided little to no shelter against the downpour. Ace!

Now it may just be that on the original cover of Wash In The Rain by The Bees (UK), that there is, in fact, someone or something that is being washed in the rain, but the picture has been so badly cropped that other than possibly indicating that it is raining, there is little extra to go on. In the remix we find a babe who is definitely being washed in the rain. In the rain, in the dark, with naught but a golden street-light to illuminate her. Oh, and naked of course. Torrential!

Continuing on the theme of rain, we have for you, a remix of Rain Down On Me by Kane. The original cover artwork shows a stylized dragon of some kind or other which seems to have been superimposed on a background that might just represent raindrops falling on rain-sodden land. We need things a little clearer, and so the remix has a babe who has had the rain raining down on her for some time as she seems soaked. As do her clothes. Transparent!

We like a good rain-based remix here at AllBum.Art as a sexy babe soaking wet is always a sight to behold. Today it is the turn of The Cult and their single Rain to hit the remix table. The original cover shows a cloud, which may, or may not, be a rain cloud. The remix shows a babe who has gotten so wet in the rain that she obviously thinks that removing her t-shirt which is soaking wet, is a good move. We agree. Concur!

Whilst we are in a family mood, here's another sibling related remix. We Are Family was a hit for Sister Sledge in the 70s and again in the 80s and 90s as a remix, so it is only fitting that the cover of their single (and album of the same name) receives the AllBum.Art treatment. On the original cover we see the sisters, sitting around looking less than familial. On the remix we find a mother and her daughter looking equally familial but much happier than the sisters appear. Then again letting the wind blow through your hair on a sunny day is always a winner. Smile!
