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

We're still in a sunny mood, remixing covers of those 'summer sizzlers' that are made for beaches, pools, lakes and anywhere that a bikini is the right thing to wear. Here we have Sly And The Family Stone with their 1969 song Hot Fun In The Summertime. It's not clear why there is hot fun to be had on the original cover. On the remix, it's very clear (if a little fuzzy). Three naked babes. Now where did their bikinis go? Lost!

What were Katrina And The Waves thinking when they put together the cover for their summer classic Walking On Sunshine? Of course, what could be more reminiscent of the sunshine than a black and white picture of the band members looking blankly at each other. Oddly, we couldn't decide what to show on the remixes either so there are two for you to enjoy. In the first we see a babe walking naked on a sunny beach. On the second we see a babe walking naked into the sea on a sunny beach. Which do you prefer? Hot to trot!

There ain't no cure for the Summertime Blues, at least according to Eddie Cochran there ain't. But that might be because Mr Cochran chooses to ignore what is going on behind him. As he stares forlornly into the distance, guitar in his hand, it seems he has completely neglected to notice that in the setting sun purple haze behind him appears to be a naked babe standing on a beach. Crazy!

Hey, it's the 4th of July, so what could be more patriotic than to remix the cover of a single that has USA in the title. Party In The U.S.A. was a 2009 hit for Miley Cyrus, who at the time was just breaking out of her Disney inspired cutesy phase and becoming an irksome teen. Now she is know for her lurid behavior so it only seems right to remix the cover of her single with a babe attired in more the kind of outfit we would expect Ms Cyrus to wear e.g. nothing at all. Stripey!

We are definitely in a summer groove with songs of yesteryear that invoke sunshine. Yesterday we suggested that summer days were lazy which prompted us to remix this classic by Nat King Cole. On the original cover of Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days Of Summer, we see Mr Cole in a suit. On the remix we see four babes on a beach, in swim suits. But my, what swim suits they are, nearer in reality to birthday suits than swim suits - they must be crazy to wear those in public. Stringy!

Whilst we are in the mood for summer croonin', here's a remix of another summer classic. Beyond The Sea by Bobby Darin is another of those songs that gets you in the mood for those lazy days of summer. The original cover shows Mr Darin wearing a high neck sweater, not normally the kind of attire you expect in the high sun. What you do expect is a hot babe in a bikini and it would be lax of us not to provide such a remix. Splash!

Though this song was in the charts before any of us here at AllBum.Art were born, it still does a great job of instilling a summery vibe. Here Comes Summer by Jerry Keller is just the kind of song you need on the radio on a sunny day at the beginning of the summer to get you in the mood for the days ahead. The remix sets the mood even better with a babe, in a bikini, in the sun. Now that's the kind of summer we're hoping for this year! Sizzling!

Yet another remix of artwork for a Madonna single. As we're in a summer mood, we are remixing La Isla Bonita. In the original cover we see Ms Ciccone in a hat. Presumably the hat is meant to signify the latin nature of the song. But La Isla Bonita means the beautiful island and to us, that means sun, sea, sand, palm trees, and, of course, a topless babe sprawling out on the tree. Good job that's what the remix shows then! La Chica Bonita!

It's great to be here on holiday but what is the weather forecast? According to local weather forecaster Michael Bublé It's A Beautiful Day. That sentiment is not reflected in the cover for the single though, as all we can see is the aforementioned Mr Bublé in a shirt, tie and leather jacket. Thankfully the remix shows us what a boob-lay beautiful day should look like - that is to say two hot busty babes in bikinis. You know what they say, June is busting out all over. Right!

Leaving the beach temporarily, we find ourselves back at the hotel, and wouldn't you know it, there are folk Twisting By The Pool listening to Dire Straits. Sadly, when they made the cover for the single, the band forgot the cardinal rule, which is to at least put something on the cover that illustrates the song, or a picture of the band, or better still both. Thankfully the pool at our hotel has provided the perfect picture with which to exact a remix. Bikini!
