The Fire Ant Gazette - A Midland, Texas Blog

Album Cover Contest #1
Category: Blogathon...
Posted Saturday, July 29, 2006 at 03:38 PM [GMT-6]

While youse guys are percolating over the identity of the fifth song in the medley that is Fire Ant Music Quiz #2, you might distract yourselves by trying to identify the following album cover (album name and artist, please).

I'll periodically uncover more of the album until we get a winner. You must be a Gazette pledger to win, but repeat winners are allowed, and the prize is another large coffee mug.

So, yeah, my brother-in-law saw the man in khaki pants and said, "Well, it's got a goat, so that's gotta narrow it down some."

Thought you'd get a kick out of that. :)

Beth, that one nearly took the top of my head off, whizzing by like that! ;-)

Brian: braaaaaaaccccckkk!!!

The Beatles.....Rubber Soul. It's got soul!

What!?!?

Man - I was so sure about it, too!

Posted by: Brian at July 29, 2006 03:46 PM

Wallace, you only get one winning Beatles guess per year, you know, and you gave that up to Jimmuh.

Brian, I'm bad like that. You didn't really expect another softball, did you?

Posted by: Eric at July 29, 2006 03:52 PM

Brian, you have to be a real Beatles maniac to know that it's obviously not the Beatles' famous cover but an incredible simulation.

I'm recusing myself. This one's a mother to figure out. Not to mention that I didn't pledge. So, yeah, there's that.

You're right Jim - I went to Amazon to see the Beatles' one after Eric buzzed me.

This is clearly not that one, but just as clearly a riff on it.

(he says, confidence strangely unshaken)

Jim, you're so bad. And there are so many straight lines in your comment, I'm having a hard time resisting. ;-)

Posted by: Eric at July 29, 2006 03:56 PM

Me? Bad? You're kidding, right?

Posted by: Jim at July 29, 2006 04:19 PM

Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band...with an apostrophe. ;-)

Posted by: Gwynne at July 29, 2006 05:26 PM

Wrong. With an exclamation mark. 8-)

Posted by: Eric at July 29, 2006 05:29 PM

cmon on eric, how about something hard?!? everyone knows the best "sgt. pepper" ripoff is frank zappa's "We're Only It In For The Money"!!

Posted by: kyle lent at July 29, 2006 06:15 PM

Kyle, technically, you're incorrect, but I'm going to give it to you because I don't think anyone else is going to get it.

The perfectly correct answer is "The Mothers of Invention," of which Zappa was only one.

I now have to deal with the sticky situation of the rule I made that this contest was open only to those who've made a pledge. But since you have very generous parents...we'll extend that courtesy throughout the immediate family! ;-)

Congratulations...

Posted by: Eric at July 29, 2006 06:21 PM

well, i thought it was common sense that it was The Mothers Of Invention :-)

i emailed my mom and gave her the answer so you can give the mug to her, and i'll steal it from her next time i come and visit!

Posted by: kyle at July 29, 2006 06:30 PM

Common sense will get you pretty far in life, but it won't always get you a contest prize!

But, we're all about grace around here. ;-)
