Ugh I just looked thru every single 119 pages of the gallery. Didn't really think ut would be in there but you never know... Saw some nice pix of V6 I don't remember, so it was worth it

Does Andy Keen still make his presence known here at all?

I don't believe you! That's EXACTLY one of the phrases I Googled. Let me try again.

I see the Parade parody cover when I Google that, but there's another one that's this red-cover. (Or am I blind??) It'll show up.

THE ANNALS OF SNOBBERY

In the brief history of Snobsite, we’ve seldom had more response to an Annals of Snobbery item than to our request for any information about this album cover:

In a previous post, we explained that we’d found this curio on a site dedicated to the Worst Album Covers Ever, and speculated that it was “a self-financed vanity record, circa 1982, by someone named Joyce who looks remarkably like Dustin Hoffman circa Tootsie.” We were eager for explanation, clarification, and validation. Boy, did we get some.

Ed Davis of Flint, Michigan, is one of many readers to tell us that the U.K. newspaper the Guardian ran the Joyce album cover as part of a pictorial excerpt from a book called The Worst Album Covers in the World… Ever! by Nick Di Fonzo. The Guardian site also mentioned that the album was released in 1983 (so we were only a year off), that Joyce’s surname is Drake, and that among the songs is one called “I Get All Excited.” Writes Ed, “I’m curious as to just what it would be that would get Joyce ‘all excited.’”

We also received a fascinating hypothesis from reader Mark Newnham, an Englishman who lives in Denver. Mark thinks that “Joyce” is actually the British actress Maureen Lipman in character as the eccentric British stage comedienne Joyce Grenfell. He linked us to this bio of Ms. Lipman, which explains that the actress, whose aquiline nose and elongated face aren’t worlds away from Joyce’s, has long performed a one-woman show called Re Joyce, described as “her homage to her heroine Joyce Grenfell.”

So, is the lady Joyce Drake or Maureen Lipman in Joyce Grenfell drag? Signs point to the former theory being correct. Since the Worst Album Covers list was published, Joyce has turned into something of a cult figure of the ’Net, with this Prince fan site even going so far as to sponsor a “Joyce Photoshop Thread Contest.” It’s really quite amazing, the lengths to which Joyce fans have gone. Here’s Joyce on the cover of Dylan’s Bringing It All Back Home:

And here’s Joyce “doing” Prince circa Parade:

Here’s Joyce recreating Funkadelic’s classic Maggot Brain:

And here’s our favorite, Joyce hanging out with N.W.A.:

The most salient thing about Joyce’s being a cult figure is that she’s been repeatedly identified as “Joyce Drake.” Which leads to the most likely explanation of who this lady is. One of the many blogs and sites to examine the Joyce phenomenon is devoted to a polka band called the Polkaholics. On their site, one reader wrote in to comment, “Joyce Drake was the pastor’s wife at First Assembly of God in Sealy, Texas, when I was a little girl in the 1970s. She was really very nice. I don’t know of any other albums that she ever made.” A cursory Google search reveals that a Joyce Drake and her husband, Clyde, indeed did lead such a church in Sealy. Alas, the trail grows cold there, and we don’t know what’s since become of Mrs. Drake, nor do we have photographic proof that this Joyce and our Joyce are one and the same. Joyce, if you’re reading this, give us a jingle.

what a creepy looking bitch

Im SO HAPPY someone was able to save my Funkadelic Joyce picture...mine are all gone!

I did like this one someone posted

Wow. I feel like there's a conspiracy underfoot... it's so strange, because nobody seems to know what I'm talking about and there's not a singular pixel of it to be found anywhere on the internets. These other parodies are funny, but I've actually never ever seen any of them before today. I've only seen the only one that I now can't see! Did The Boss really make it go bye-bye?

I have the incriminating photo, but it's locked up with all my other Prized Prince Pix in a laptop whose mother got bored and died. But as God is my witness, I will invade that hard drive with the help of my most nerdly comp-u-geek superfriends, hopefully tomorrow. Then you'll all know I wasn't talking crazy. Then you'll respect me. Then you'll see!

I haven't been to the forum here in several months, but is the moderator whose profile avatar is a flwalessly-executed photo of herself inhabiting the Controversy cover still around? I feel like she would know what I'm after...

Hilarious

I think that was one of Imago's pictures that he made that you're looking for.

Don't think that he's an orger anymore, haven't seen him around. You might have a better chance if you posted this in the General Discussion forum.

Ahh, the one and only JOYCE has returned!!!!!

I don't suppose anyone has the Dirty Mind cover I did???? I seem to recall doing one for ATWIAD, as well... I was cleaning off one of my server accounts one day and tossed them in the trash by mistake... sad times.

idk whats worse that our the obama one?? shit i should put my face on someone. ok thats slightly less creepy...this kinda fun!but no i wont replace a girls face in a pic with prince. thats weird....

If these aren't what you're looking for, perhaps a better description of what it IS you're looking for might be helpful.

Congratz!

The NUMBER 1 creepiest thread on the org.

lol....gotta love joyce.
