The Ace Of Spades - is this simply a playing card, or is it someone who is expert at digging? If we use the original album (and single of the same name) cover artwork to try and answer this question we find no more information, other than that the band members could probably use someone to help with their gardening. On the remix we find a babe who appears to be losing at cards, presumably strip poker as she is on her way to nakedness. Does she have an ace of spades? No. But she does have the four of spades in her hand. Handy!

The original cover of Juicy Fruit by Mtume shows the band looking less than fruity, and certainly not particularly juicy. Thank goodness then for the remix in which we find a juicy looking babe bending over towards a bowl of fruit, which are most certainly fruity. Thinking about it, the babe is quite fruity too, making the whole thing far more appropriate, or not, depending on your view on bananas and all that. Apple!

What exactly is a Hard Candy Christmas, as sung to us by Dolly Parton? If the original cover of this festive track tells us anything related to this question, it is that Ms Parton thinks that wearing a Santa outfit and standing in snow-filled scenery is meant to answer it. The remix shows what a real hard candy xmas might be like, with a babe whose chilly bits are only covered by candy that, in the cold, would be very hard indeed... and the candy. Brittle!

Today's AllBum.Art remix is for Metallica's album Garage Days Part II (or Garage Days Re-Revisited Part II to give it its full mane). The original cover shows... well not much at all, just the Metallica logo, a stylized skull and cross-bones, and the title of the album. The remix shows a babe standing around in a garage during the day. No-one seems to be parked in the garage but that's maybe a good thing, as the babe concerned does not appear to be wearing any clothes. Park!

If we had saved up all of the remixes of covers of songs or albums by Michael Jackson that we here at AllBum.Art have produced, we'd have enough for a week-long special or thereabouts. Today it's the turn of his popular 1980s album Off The Wall. The original cover would score very highly featuring, as it does, both Mr Jackson and a wall. The remix therefore would score slightly lower as gone is Mr Jackson and in his place is a hot babe. The wall is still there. And when you think about it, you'd probably rather score the remix after all. We would. Brick!

If there's one thing we particularly enjoy remixing here at AllBum.Art, it's albums or singles with the word 'street' in their title. Why? Because it gives us the opportunity to use a picture from one of our favorite topics, naked babes walking down streets. Don't ask why this is such a fixation with us, just enjoy this remix of Street Songs by Rick James in which the original cover has been replaced by a nearly naked babe on a street. Obvious!

Who could forget the song, Private Dancer, by Tina Turner. It includes the line, "I'm your private dancer, dancer for money, do what you want me to to". In today's parlance, this would inevitably refer to the ladies of the pole, the dancers of the mast, the groovers of the stick. On the original cover we see Ms Turner sitting in a chair but, and here's the amazing bit, she is not dancing! In the remix we see a lady of the pole, dancing for money. And doing pretty much what you would expect her to do for the price. Ching!

We did laugh when the original cover of the Pixies' album Surfer Rosa was brought to our attention. It seems they were trying to pre-empt any remix by having a Spanish looking flamenco dancer stand topless amidst some religious symbolism. Nice try, but when we translated Surfer Rosa from Spanish into Japanese, and then from Japanese to Russian, then to Italian, back to Spanish, then to German, and eventually English, we found that it actually meant 'woman red clothes naked pose mountain'. So that's what the remix is. Spike!

So here we are, on our way to the beach flying on a Groovejet when the pilot comes on the tannoy to announce the weather at the destination. Is it warm and sunny? No. Is it hot and sticky? No. According to the captain it's Hot Hot Hot, which is exactly the forecast that Arrow gave in his 1980s song and album of the same name. How fortuitous that the remix shows the weather at the destination and even better that it shows three hot hot hot babes waiting there. Sizzle!

We had an email from Timothy Blenkinsop-Smithe of Olde England who said:

Your web-site is replete with alternative artwork for very low-brow songs that should be in the gutter. You need to add some high-brow content to your site through classical music and opera.

Timothy sent us this remix for the soundtrack album of The Phantom Of The Opera as an illustration of what he called 'a more aesthetically blended visualization'. Whatever floats your boat Timothy!
