I've been having such a wonderful vacation here in Wisconsin that I have been slacking on getting posts up, but I hope this MEGAPOST™ will satisfy! I did another thrift store run to the St. Vinnie's in my old stomping grounds of Oconomowoc, WI. the other day and was most pleased to find another boatload of unusual old record covers from the dusty past to bring you! Please to enjoy!
With these hands...I SHALL MURRRRRRDERRRRR YOUUUUUUU!
I hope that this record is nothing but deafeningly loud grasshopper chirping over children's tunes.
I love the genericness of this. TOP HITS. BABY.
I suspect that Hugo & Luigi sound less like "cascading voices" and more like burly pizza chefs.
NO.
Awww, feelin' all low-down and lonely, hangin' out in the woods, playin' the harmonica, cryin'.
POLKA PARTY!!
WHAT. IS. THAT.
Today, this couple would probably be arriving to the country club dance in a Hummer with a dog crate attached to the top with the radio blaring Chris Brown.
GET A ROOM, YOU TWO!
These kids are STOKED about the fact that they will imminently be losing both their hearing and sight from the black market missile Dad stuck on the cake! PARTY TIME!
I dunno...maybe Jesus was kind of a prankster, like he'd jump out behind a burning bush and go "SURPRISE, EVERYONE! I'M THE MESSIAH!"
I wonder if they could send a few of the Jolly Men over to the sad harmonica guy in the woods.
HEY BABY HEY BABY HEY BABY HEY BABY
"Hey! I got a GREAT idea for the cover! Go grab some of those Bicentennial paper plates and a bun by the grill and we'll stick a harmonica in it!"
What do the quotation marks add on to "Whoopee" here? Perhaps John is a cranky polkameister and they are sarcasm.
Crabwalk Boy probably never lived this down.
"Honey! Let's listen to some of that savage music tonight with dinner!"
Happy Times...with the floating disembodied head of Mitch Miller!!!
Them Old Poor Grammar.
"The Strangest Secret" is retiring on $30,000 a year, EARL.
I guess the "country roads" are all called Stepford?
According to this cover, the recollections of Germany are that huge gloating fish guard the northern border, and that everyone lives in a castle and drinks beer. It's TRUE!
SEE?? It's TRUE!!!!
LARRY CUNNINGHAM. IN CONCERT.
An attempt at psychedelic pedal steel?
And finally as seen on this sheet music, just look how happy these girls are!!! Hurray for love!
