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

Now where would YOU go if faced with remixing the cover of a song called You Had Me? That was the BIG question facing the team here at AllBum.Art when we found this song by Joss Stone. There are many things we could have remixed the cover with but in the end we went for a babe in a hotel room, leaning over a chair, with her ass in the air, her heels on the floor, and her panties around her ankles. Has she been had, or is that what happens next? Does it even matter? Bemusing!

An entry submitted to us by Kurt Thompson of England. Kurt says of Launderette by Vivien Goldman:

I recently found the AllBum.Art web-site and thought what a good idea it was to remix the covers of songs. I have done this for Launderette by Vivien Goldman. I was a punk in the 1970s and I think my friends would approve of a remix that includes a picture of nude babes in a launderette.

I think we all approve of that Kurt! Sploshing!

More Than A Woman, just what did Tavares mean when they sang those words? We weren't sure so have offered you two choices. The first is a woman who is definitely more than an average woman, but perhaps she is 'more of a woman'. In the second remix we offer you someone who is definitely more than a woman. Though you can't see from the pose, there is more to be seen than on a regular woman, if you get our drift. Knobbly!

Ah yes, the song made infamous by the misguided miming of a million drag artists, One Day I'll Fly Away was probably one of the biggest hits of Randy Crawford. The original cover shows a happy, smiling Ms Crawford which in one way is good (it shows the artist) but in another doesn't really reflect the melancholy melody of the song. The remix shows an angel, stuck on the ground, who longs to fly back to heaven. Angelic!

Wishing On A Star is both a 1978 single by Rose Royce and a 1993 album of their greatest hits (which not surprisingly includes the eponymous single). The original cover shows a star which is what we are wishing on, but it lacks a certain certainty about whether it is certain that the wish will succeed. The remix shows that there are stars that can be wished on where your wish will certainly come true. With or without the star! Pointy!

When Champaign sang How 'Bout Us, they forgot on important thing... when you make the cover for the single, don't use a picture of a pair of shoes. What on earth does that say about us? Maybe they had drunk too much champaign[sic]. Thankfully the remix really does ask the question how 'bout us? Where shall we start? How 'bout them girls then fellas? Would you? We're not sure we would. Testy!

Fans of Satan's Cheerleaders will already be aware that their songs are not normally about cheerleaders. In that respect the remix of their 2012 album cover is a bit of a misnomer because we have replaced the cartoon of a dog almost being run over by a car with a naked cheerleader, which is not strictly accurate. Then again, do you need an excuse for a picture of a naked cheerleader? No, we thought not, especially on Friday 13th. Pom pom!

S Club 7 sang Never Had A Dream Come True back in 2000. And it's easy to see why. On the cover of the single, the band seem to be lounging around doing very little rather than getting up of their butts and going to find the dream they so desperately seek. We have made it easier for you by including a dream girl on the remixed cover. Now if only she could come true... Tantalizing!

It seems that when putting the original artwork for the cover of their single Everybody's Changing together, British band Keane thought that the best way to symbolize people changing was to show a telegraph post at a jaunty angle. No, no, no! The best way to symbolize changing is to show two babes changing out of their clothes in a nice garden. Isn't it? Flowers!

Though we whole-heartedly endorse the idea that the Scissor Sisters should use, as their logo, a pair of scissors wearing high heels, it does leave the cover of I Don't Feel Like Dancin' with many unanswered questions, such as what it is about the use of scissors that is inhibiting the dancing process. As we can see in the remixes, you takes your choice. Either it is because one false move and the scissors are going to cut off the ribbon that is the only thing protecting your modesty, or it's just that the scissors have already done their job and you find yourself naked in the face of their sharp cutting power. Gripping!
