I don't think that really fits - it's just an old blues line from Howlin Wolf etc.

Skyhooks - Ego Is Not A Dirty Word (1975). Sorry for the huge image but the next step down is all like washed-out and illegible 300x300 pixel ones shot at a funny angle. And man, that back cover.

yeah but (1) it's p creepy and gross, and (2) the cover is a really shit pun on it amirite? (i.e. the woman is under a mic stand)

Not everything is a pun, Nick.

i know i know but there are only two things on the cover - a girl and a stand - and they are arranged on two different levels so you know you know
― Rae Kwoniff (NickB), Monday, 21 November 2016 17:42 (seven years ago) link
also the person on the cover is sharona who is described in the song my sharona as a 'pretty little thing' so you might resonably conclude that the creep who writes the lyrics for the knack might possibly describe her using the irksome term 'little girl' so eh ...the little girls under a stand am i labouring this much?

Seems like the front cover artist missed the cue on drawing one of the hands missing a finger?
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 22 November 2016 09:32 (seven years ago) link
Shit, good call... maybe the fifth hand over from the left, though it's sort of hard to sort out that whole clump of hands right there. If it is a thing, it's much subtler than the cover as a whole would suggest is possible.

The hand closest to the POV looks like a right hand and is only showing 4 fingers, and the nail polish matches. I see a thumb and the next 3 fingers. It could be the pinky is the one cut off rather than just out of view.
― nickn, Tuesday, 22 November 2016 20:25 (seven years ago) link
Green fingernailed hand in the middle there is actually a severed hand being waved around by someone else. Red fingernailed hand second from left has three fingers and a thumb only. What this means I dunno.

Also follows that the visual of the band on stage would be from the letter-writer's point of view.
― nickn, Tuesday, 22 November 2016 21:26 (seven years ago) link
The PS on the letter is "I will wave" so I'm going with the idea that the foregrounded fingertips are Denise's.
― everything, Tuesday, 22 November 2016 21:31 (seven years ago) link
I wonder if the band wanted to show the finger stump but the label said no way, and the art was changed.

many x's and p: that Terry Stamp album is actually pretty cool, with Ollie Halsall from Patto on guitar. And Stamp was in Third World War. But that doesn't change the cover.

A couple of better threads for artist name puns.
Awful puns/neologisms as album titles
Horrible album titles that pun on the artist's name

I think that is the same dude from the Mars Volta cover.
Nazareth deserves some props here for having not one but three album titles that utilize the shortened 'n' in place of and.
1973- Loud 'n' Proud1976- Close Enough for Rock 'n' Roll (previously mentioned) & Play 'n' the Game
And speaking of "and" what the heck was 'Johnny Winter And' all about? That is a different level of band name and also seems to fit here in some ways.
Arthur Baker's Kingdom Come - 'Galactic Zoo Dossier' from '71 is another one that fits here and would have worked nicely as a Budgie album title.

I love how overworked the visual gag is. He can't have hair! Otherwise it will be confusing. And, uh, better put a little ladder on also.

Today I managed to see Christopher Milk's "Some People Will Drink Anything!," Hot Legs' "You Didn't Like It Because You Didn't Think Of It," and the Jaggerz' "We Went To Different Schools Together," all within the span of five minutes' browsing. Warmed my heart, it did.
