* ''{{Onechanbara}}''

* ''TheElderScrolls: Arena'' is notorious for its ContemptibleCover featuring a warrior woman in a leather bikini standing in a colosseum, largely because the game contains ''neither'' [[LadyNotAppearingInThisGame sexy women]] nor gladiatorial combat.

* Chromeo's ''[[http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=2448221 Business Casual]]'', and the single ''[[http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=2720350 Hot Mess]]''. Both feature a [[ShesGotLegs leggy]] [[SexySecretary secretary]] in [[StockingFiller pantyhose]], and the latter has her bending over.

* [[http://img.maniadb.com/images/album/172/172212_1_f.jpg This cover]] for R&B group Changing Faces, Which is advertising something that's not on the album.

* The cover of the [[LongTitle insanely long-titled debut album]] by BowWowWow drew in some listeners by depicting the (female) lead singer nude on i's cover in an imitation of Manet's famous painting ''Déjeuner sur l'herbe''. It also drew controversy since the lead singer was only 15 at the time of the photoshoot. Manager Malcolm [=McLaren=] was sued by her parents and reached a settlement that forbade him from marketing the singer in {{Fanservice}}y ways.

* The original ''{{Psycho}}'' poster had Janet Leigh in a bra as the central image.

* ''[[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/47/NES_Arkistas_Ring.jpg/256px-NES_Arkistas_Ring.jpg Arkista's Ring]]'' for the NES pictures Christine in a ChainmailBikini. [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar How did this get approved by Nintendo during its]] CensorshipBureau?

* No box art for ''EverQuest'' came without that one bikini-clad elf chick.

* Oh, lord ''RecordOfAgarestWar'''s US packaging. The entire outer box for the limited edition is covered in {{Fanservice}}y images. For reference, the actual game is a {{Dating Sim}}/Strategy RPG which is pretty {{Fanservice}}y at times, but is not nearly the wall-to-wall sex romp they try to make it seem like.

* The cover for the 1965 LP (that's the big black disk-like thing that makes sounds) "Whipped Cream and other Delights" by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. At least that album included a song named "Whipped Cream".

* The cover of Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass' ''[[http://www.franklarosa.com/vinyl/Exhibit.jsp?AlbumID=39 Whipped Cream And Other Delights]]'' is literally the only reason anyone remembers that musical group.

** Of particular note is Sugar Ray's "Lemonade and Brownies."

A SubTrope of SexSells, when a cover or packaging for a product uses overt sexual imagery (exactly how overt can depend on the product).

Of course, justified if the product actually is about sex in some form.

{{Sub Trope}}s include FanserviceCover, ContemptibleCover, and LadyNotAppearingInThisGame.

* ''Arkista's Ring'' for the NES. [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar How did this get approved by Nintendo during its]] CensorshipBureau?

* The rerelease of ''69 Boyz'' 199Quad album had [[http://www.coverhunt.com/go/B00005MKA2 this]] as it's cover.
