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

Not the first remix for Madonna (in fact the third so far). Ms Ciccone's 1990 single Hanky Panky is perfectly poised for a remix what with it very explicitly mentioning a little 'spanky'. And so Ms Ciccone's visage has been explicitly replaced by a perfectly poised maid, ready to be spanked by her master. Is the girl a cantankerous yank? Frankly, it doesn't matter. Swanky!

The cover for Suit & Tie by Justin Timberlake Featuring Jay Z actually scores nearly 100% on the AllBum.Art scale as it features the aforementioned Mr Timberlake in a Suit and Tie, therefore reflecting the artist and the name of the song. For many, this is probably where the line should be drawn, but if you can't blur a few lines now and then, Robin Thicke wouldn't be so popular. Anyhow, here's a remix featuring - guess what - a naked chick. Well almost naked - she has a tie on. Sweet.

Just The Two Of Us is an 1980s song by saxophonist Grover Washington Jr with vocals by Bill 'Lovely Daaaaaaaaaaaay' Withers. The cover, is not so lovely. A glass of wine? Well perhaps this is Mr Washington Jr's take on what a night in for two people is like. We do not concur with Mr Washington Jr's view, and instead prefer to imagine a night in for just the two of us more like that in the remix. Don't you?

What do you imagine when you think of Norway? Is it snow covered pine forests? Reindeer? Whale fishing? Well think again. Think 'ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringading' and you're getting warmer (global warming no doubt). Norwegian comedy due Ylvis have brought the sound of The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?) to the hot 100 and in return we at AllBum.Art have remixed the cover of their single to show a more foxy fox! Fair exchange is no robbery.

Would you know it? The cover for Upside Down by Diana Ross is wrong in one extremely enormous way ... Ms Ross is the right way up! Thankfully this has been corrected in our first remix which shows Ms Ross the correct way around for this song. In our second remix, Ms Ross has been replaced by some odd babe who seems to insist on sitting on furniture in the way Ms Ross proposes, upside down. Each to their own, as someone very wise once said.

What could represent a Blue Hotel better than Chris Isaak wearing a white shirt and flowery jacket, holding onto an acoustic guitar? This is what the original single cover would have us believe. On the remix a babe walks out of a hotel, past a body guard who is there to protect her - you can see why. The whole thing is blue. Obviously this is what a real blue hotel looks like. Stay, why don't you!

Another foreign language remix for AllBum.Art. On the original front cover for Um (One) by Baby Do Brasil (a.k.a. Baby Consuelo) you will find Ms Cidade standing around with her guitar looking naked to the naked eye. Well, other than her gloves. On the remix Um becomes Duas as she is joined by an equally naked babe also holding an electric guitar. What point is there to any of this? That depends on your outlook. Copacabana!

Ah, so, today is is the turn of T-Ara to have their cover well and truly remixed. On the original single artwork the seven band members are pulling odd poses wearing black dresses and silver boots. On the remix, there are eight asian babes wearing no dresses and no boots. Which of these most represents sexy love? You can decide that for yourself, or as they say in the capital city of Korea, that's your Seoul decision. Pop!

What shall we do Tonight Josephine? Tape Five? If none of this makes any sense to you, it probably isn't meant to. The original artwork for the front cover of the album shows a vintage babe wearing retro lingerie, gloves and stockings sitting on a chair, all aged using sepia tones. The remix shows almost exactly the same thing except that Josephine's lingerie seems to have slipped revealing her bouncing bosom. The sepia tones persist. Flapper!

What, pray tell, is a Standing Hampton? According to Sammy Hagar, it seems to be represented by having a near naked babe sitting in the corner of a room, whilst a man in a suit and a bowler hat takes a good look at her. Alternatively, peer through the window and a different babe wearing only a red skirt is also being stared at by a man in a suit. On the remix, a different babe is standing in the corner of a room, and is being watched by a man in a hat. Is this what Mr Hagar really had in mind? Hampton!
