I want him to somehow cover this album cover

* Share Your Love with Me

Plus one that was on 2017's Roll with the Punches:

What do you call a pile of dirt that plays the banjo?

Huh they seemed to have initially announced this new album with a normal cover (L) but have since replaced it everywhere with a shitty AI version (R)

Men Without Hats Hive rise up! <crickets>

Why is this in my bed? Is this a five year old’s version of that scene in the Godfather?

I thought that would be the most ridiculous cover-song cover art I saw today.

I thought wrong.

What genius thought it was a good idea to be fulling grinning on the cover of a song called Summertime Sadness
