* The cover of the Music/PaulMcCartney album ''New'' is a stylised version of the album name, in neon. The name of neon means "new".
* John Conlee's SignatureSong is "Rose Colored Glasses". No points for guessing what he wears when he performs the song in concert.
* Foghat's second self-titled album is sometimes referred to as ''Rock n' Roll'' because the cover depicts a rock and a bread roll. Their debut, also self-titled, has an illustration on the back cover of a man wearing a literal "fog hat", as in a hat that's emitting steam (the band name was really just a nonsense term one of the members made up).

** Capability Brown's ''[[http://hipgnosiscovers.com/capabilitybrown.html Voice]]'': "Zip your lip".
** Prototype's [[http://hipgnosiscovers.com/images/496_prototype_lp_canada_front.jpg self-titled album]]: "A little birdie told me".
** A [[http://hipgnosiscovers.com/images/496_flashes_ad_uk.jpg press ad]] for Roy Harper's ''Flashes from the Archives of Oblivion'' in which the singer praises himself depicts him with a literal swelled head. There's also an illustration of a bull shitting at the bottom of the ad.
** Music/{{UFO}}'s ''[[http://www.hipgnosiscovers.com/ufo/forceit.html Force It]]'' has a cover illustration of a room containing many faucets.
* Music/AliceCooper's ''{{Greatest Hits|Album}}'' had [[http://originalalbumcoverart.com/struzan/alice-cooper-greatest-hits.php artwork referencing The St. Valentine's Day Massacre]], a famous murder of mob associates - thus, it's a play on "hit" as in an assassination.
* Why does {{Music/Mudhoney}}'s ''Piece Of Cake'' cover art include a slice of birthday cake sitting inside a public restroom urinal? Well, one term for a urinal deodorizer block is a "urinal cake".
* Music/{{ACDC}}'s ''Fly On The Wall'': not only does the cover depict an actual fly on an outhouse wall, but the title, which is rendered as carved BathroomStallGraffiti, has a peephole with someone looking in where the "y" would normally be: So, "Fl(eye) On The Wall".
* Leon Russell's ''Hank Wilson's Back, Vol. 1'', recorded under the pseudonym Hank Wilson: The album cover is a collage depicting the artist performing in front of an audience, facing away from the camera. So, in other words, the cover depicts "Hank Wilson's back".
* Music/CledusTJudd parodied Music/TobyKeith's "Red Solo Cup" as "[[BuxomIsBetter Double D Cups]]". The video for his parody features several extras drinking out of red Solo cups in one scene.
* The music video for {{Music/Styx}}'s "Too Much Time On My Hands" involves a watch salesman with a CoatFullOfContraband trying to sell his wares to one of the band members, only for him to roll back his sleeve and reveal he already has over half a dozen watches on his arm.
* The album cover for Music/{{Sparks}}' ''Music/No1InHeaven'' includes a picture of a spark plug in the top right corner.
* In the video for Music/PoetsOfTheFall's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ompevuR1644&list=PLjACqN5i5sDWjx8wkdUyCl4MjctV4SE6o Lift]]," during his psych screening, MadDreamer Mark sometimes retreats to a HappyPlace which takes the form of rooms in a mental house, one of which seems to be an attic [[http://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2011/11/crazy.html filled with toys]].
* The original, more well-known cover for Music/TheRollingStones' ''Music/StickyFingers'' (a close-up of jeans with a noticeable bulge and an unzippable fly) was evidently deemed too risque to market in Spain - Spanish listeners got a cover featuring severed fingers inside a can of treacle instead.
* The cover to Donna Summer's single "On The Radio" (as well as a similarly named GreatestHitsAlbum) depicts her sitting on top of a large, old-fashioned radio receiver.
* The cover of ''Meet The Bloody Stools'' by hard rock group The Bloody Stools spared the listener [[IntentionallyAwkwardTitle an actual depiction of what their band name implies]], going with a drawing of bloody ''bar'' stools instead.
* {{Music/Phish}}'s ''Hoist'' has an image of a horse hanging from a pulley on the cover because a WorkingTitle for the album was ''Hung Like A Horse''.
* Methods Of Mayhem's "Get Naked" includes the lyric "ride the cock" - in the music video Lil' Kim is seen riding on a mechanical rooster puppet. MTV censored the lyric but still showed her riding on a literal "cock".
* The Music/SoulAsylum song "Misery" features references to "making misery." The song's video includes footage of a manufacturing plant where the CD single of "Misery" is being manufactured and packaged -- in other words, it's making "Misery."
* The Cantonese pop song "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsim_Sha_Tsui Tsim Sha Tsui]] Suzie" is a bouncy song about a wild party girl in UsefulNotes/HongKong. The lyrics mentions her father "sells salted eggs", [[BlackComedy which may be an euphemism for being dead; and on top of that the video shows her father being a white man, which won't make sense until you know "ghost" is slang for a white person.]]
* The cover of the Music/PaulMcCartney album ''New'' is a stylised version of the album name, in neon. The name of neon means "new".
* John Conlee's SignatureSong is "Rose Colored Glasses". No points for guessing what he wears when he performs the song in concert.
* Foghat's second self-titled album is sometimes referred to as ''Rock n' Roll'' because the cover depicts a rock and a bread roll. Their debut, also self-titled, has an illustration on the back cover of a man wearing a literal "fog hat", as in a hat that's emitting steam (the band name was really just a nonsense term one of the members made up).
