If they'd stayed together into the 70s proper, Let It Be...Naked would have been a great title for a beigey album cover where the four Beatles are hanging around at a stuffy, fancy-dress party, all nude, but with unlikely objects blocking the naughty bits from view.

I don't get it... "which one's will he?" (will he what?)
I want to know, but I also know the answer is going to be tedious in a way only terrible 70s album titles are.

The boy is holding up the photo to his mother asking which is his father. she slept with all of them. Also a double entendre - which one is Willie vs whose 'Willie' was it.

I saw this and thought it was maybe a modern day version of this, but I think it's slightly too subtle? The title really needs to written in a font at least the same size as the artists name, and the cover should be a close up of the ace of clubs, with a hand pointing at the club.

Really, isn't Sheik Yerbouti an appropriate-as-hell album title ??? This was in the era of Shah of Iran as well... i remember a neighbor coming home from months of construction work in the Middle East with a gift tin of Shah Pistachios. Relevant, i propose.
