The Cover of My Comedy Album?

The best part about listening to music on Pandora Radio is that you get presented with the album cover that the song you are listening to is from. It has opened the door to me seeing the covers of many albums that I never knew about. Sure, there are plenty of sites that have listed the worst album covers, but I am more intrigued by random album covers that could end up being the model for the cover of my first comedy album whenever I first release it.

Here are the three that stood out to me from my Pandora listening yesterday:

Billy Ocean

I love Billy Ocean. This cover is for the single, “Caribbean Queen,” which is a great song. Imagine me pondering with a giant ring on my finger. Frankly, this is exactly how I look whenever I write a new joke.

Leo Sayer

There's something magical about Leo Sayer. It's probably the white man afro (I'd say "Jew fro" but I have no idea if Sayer is Jewish). But, he also has such an alarming voice as evidenced when I had the pleasure to hear “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing” while at sitting at my cubicle and this album cover appeared. Frankly, I did feel like dancing. I also feel like putting on an afro and these clothes and have this be a comedy album cover.

Carl Carlton

This is the best. I love Carl Carlton. I love this album cover. I love the amount of colors. I love the mid-dance movement. I love the clothes. This was the very best of Carl Carlton. There's no reason that it can't be the very best of Sumukh Torgalkar.

So, take a listen to Carl and, hell, even the album cover on this video is awesome:
