This guy's throwin' more than his voice...

This album cover, from 1975, is a classic that I think has stood the test of time.

There is so much wrong on this cover I don't know where to begin.

Okay, the title contains racial slurs and the ventriloquist is getting his cock sucked; those are a few good starting points. Also:

-The woman is holding a small American flag in her right hand.

-The white doll looks like a bald John Waters.

-The black doll looks stoned.

-The background has been used in several snuff films.

I like the fact that executives approved this cover:

"Well, we have the horribly stereotypical puppets and the obscene title. What could make this more offensive?"

"How 'bout we show him getting a blowjob."

"That's sound thinking."

Somehow, for reasons I cannot fathom, the content of this album has been lost over time. I can't think of anyone who quotes Richard and Willie routines. How the hell did that happen? You'd think such a bulletproof routine would have lasted through the ages...

I am reeling.




PS: When I blow you, I will be holding a small American flag in my right hand.

SHAZAM!

I think that cover was shot in a prison. They told that guy he'd get some head from a woman if he'd do it.

The ventriloquist looks just as stoned as the dummy.

As for the flag.....at least they're showing some kind of patriotism.....that and I think the dummy is naked from the waist below and the flag is covering up his woody.

Happy Halloween Toddy!

I'm not sure, but I think she's blowing one of the dolls.

ian,
the record company that released this also released all of Richard Pryor's early material. I'm guessing this isn't as good.

tits,
I'll supply the flag. Oh, and the cock.

kendra,
I think this album cover should be a postage stamp. I really do.

flounder,
that's a good deal for a prisoner.

kat,
I'm singing the national anthem in your dad's honor.

doggirl,
I was going to ask you to help me reshoot the cover...

monkey,
BOO!

it kind of looks like a woman's body.

nick,
thank you for that unexpected defense.

genou,
a young Pee Wee Herman was inspired by this cover.

burr,
I'll comfort you.

little,
that one dummy IS naked from the waist down!! He's next.

cold,
I repeat, I don't have a problem with slutty costumes. The lose an eye comment was a joke. I do that sometimes. ANd Happy Halloween back at ya.

My head just exploded.
