Title: The Album Cover Game
Post by: The Curious Orange on July 17, 2014, 05:46:18 AM
So here's an old Internet meme I thought I'd dust off -

What if classic albums were re-named to match their cover art? Here's a few to start you off:

Pink Floyd - Light that passes through a prism is refracted into a spectrum of seven colours
Nirvana - Underwater babies know the value of money
Led Zeppelin - How to tell the difference between your grandson and a paperweight with your eyes closed
The Who - Pissing on a box
The Rolling Stones - Turntable Cake
Kate Bush - I've just had sex with two dogs
The Beatles - Only three of us wear shoes
King Crimson - Fear of the Dentists
Blind Faith - Kiddie pr0n and toy aeroplanes
Ween - A belt that says Ween on it
The Black Crowes - Patriotic Vaginas
Iron Maiden - Oh look, it's Eddie again
The Pussycat Dolls - Five Whores
Bruce Springsteen - My Arse
Rush - Moving Paintings


Anyone got any more?

This thread has nothing to do with memes, so I don't even know why that word was used.  But anyhow, this one made me laugh:

Indeed. No idea why meme's were brought into the equation.

Actually this sort of thing WOULD fit into the definition of "meme" if it's something that many people participate in, but how about we just enjoy playing the game instead of picking apart words used in the OP?  :\
