> [@ynot49](#): > > Has an erect penis approaching a vaginal opening drawn on its cover - ok, alright, this is strictly not a double meaning, but you get the thrust of what I am saying. > I didn’t see it, Mum did, and told me. She had listened to the album, and commented that ‘they’re not Brook Benton’ - she is right. > [@eunoia](#): > > Welcome to the Dope!

But it should be noted that it’s an utterly ugly cover. I can see (I think) what’s being suggested, but if so that’s an exceedingly pathetic phallus (kind of like **Qadgop’s** famous “bagel-dog” penis), and the hole looks a lot more like a hemorrhoidal anus than a vaginal opening.😉 If that was deliberate, it makes the cover infinitely worse. ---

If it hasn’t been posted yet, most of the Greg Kihn band’s [discography](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Kihn#Discography) riffs on Kihn’s name. ---

Sorry, I’m still lost, I can’t even tell what’s supposed to be the penis and what the vagina (or hemorrhoidal anus), and I’m usually quite good at telling them apart. ---

What I’m guessing the others are interpreting as a phallus is at the top of the white cascading waterfall. The top bit is shaped like a fat torpedo. But I just zoomed in on the image, and the cave the waterfall is emerging from does indeed look like a vaginal opening with labia on the sides and a clitoris at the top. Since it’s brown, it blends into the dark background unless you zoom in. But if it is, then the white form is not a phallus, but whitish liquid cascading from the opening. Interpret that as you will.:eek: What I was referring to as the anus is a black circle surrounded by a white halo above and to the right of the top of the waterfall. It could be intended to be a solar eclipse, with tree branches extending across the halo. ---

Ok, well, that could’ve been the intention, but just as well you can see the structure at the top of the waterfall as an evil hooded wizard with a long white beard and his guiding dark star above him. It’s all in your dirty minds ;). ---

Another example from the Grateful Dead is _Dead Set_. ---

Continuing, “Pressure cooker pick my brain and tell me I’m insane” sounds, to me, ‘press your dick against by brain, lah lah ect’ This is from Green Day and, yes, is off topic, although it is from an album, is music, has a double meaning (to me), and nobody else has said it, yet. Did Tay Tay ever use a double entendre? ---

Verticle Smile (Blackfoot) is anothery. Look, it’s spelt that way in Itunes which is where I’m getting educated from. ---
