Top Ten Remade (Wiimade?) Album Covers Of All Time
We’re still in a musical mood after yesterday’s Top 50 Songs Which Should Be Remade And Wiified - probably due to the ambient music on the menu screen chilling us out and making us dig up all those old records. Nothing to do with the fat doobie next to us, of course. Or the fact that we want to show off our Photoshop skillz.
You remember the fad a few years ago, of how a garden gnome would disappear, and suddenly the owner would start receiving photos from all over the world, of their gnome popping up infront of the Eiffel Tower and other landmarks? Well, it seems someone stole the Wii-mote off the WiiWii team, and it’s been popping up in many famous album covers, like the Queen II album album here. Gives a whole new meaning to ‘Fairy Feller’s Master Stroke’, eh? I bet Freddie was imagining his soaring backhanders as he was writing the lyrics. Take a look under the jump for the Top Ten Wiimade Album Covers Of All Time.
Michael Jackson’s HIStory - Now, he may have a song on this album called D.S, but we hardly think he was referring to Nintendo’s future portable console, the DS, when he sung ‘they really wanna get my ass…you know he really tried to take me’, but who knows, it is Whacko Jacko after all. We think he had the Wii in mind when he was writing ‘Bad’, however - he knows he’s a naughty boy and leaves the console on for days on end without letting it cool off. Bad boy, Michael!
The Clash’s London Calling - Rudie may not be able to fail, but we bet she’d struggle through the [REDACTED] level where you have to [REDACTED] the [REDACTED] with the magical [REDACTED] . And that’s hard, let me tell you! Still, she has been ‘drinking brew for breakfast’, after all!
Jeff Buckley’s Grace - Sources say when he drowned in Wolf River back in 1997, he was simply trying to swim to the other side to go and purchase the N64 console from Best Buy. Ok, bad joke, but surely ‘Hallelujah’ should be renamed as ‘Ode To Wii’?
Nirvana’s Nevermind - They may’ve thought it smelled like teen spirit, but I’m not so sure all the middle aged parents playing Wii Sports would agree with that sentiment. Still, here we are now, entertain us!
Rolling Stones’ Forty Licks - Hello!? ‘Street Fighting Man’? ‘Under My Thumb’? ‘Start Me Up’?! The Stones are obviously big fans of Ninty! Although we’re not quite sure about ‘Sympathy For The Devil’ - sure, Bill Gates is a charitable man, but feeling sympathy for the 360-team is not exactly necessary, Mick, you soft hearted man, you.
INXS’ X - Yep, we hear that in the dark of night, those small hours, the rest of INXS (not that pansy new J.D. Fortune chap, we bet he’s a 360 fanboy) like nothing more than to sit on their couches and wheel in a few fish in Twilight Princess. At least, that’s what we think ‘By My Side’ is about.
The Beatles’ Abbey Road - Paul McCartney got it wrong when he said Maxwell’s Hammer was Silver, unfortunately for now it’s white, but hopefully there’ll be some varied colours in the future. Shigeru? Anyone? Can we call in a pink one yet?
The Smiths’ The Queen Is Dead - When Raving Rabbids is blaring full-ball on your telly, there most certainly Is A Light That Never Goes Out, as it’s so darn bright and cheerful. Something ol’ Moz should really look into one of these days.
The Black Crowes’ Amorica - The Wii is no ‘Downtime Money Waster’, nor ‘Cursed Diamond’, but heck - we could hardly resist shoving a Wii-mote down the hair-filled panties, could we! Ugh, hair-filled panties, mummy…!

Certainly have to agree with all of these especially the inxs statement about jd fortune (pansy chap) who claimed he always lliked michael hutchence but now that he’s with the band takes tantrums and fits if any fan comes to a concert holding any pics of michael or wearing anything michael or original inxs to the concerts. Other band members go by his wishes and have abandoned michael in all repsects. What a CRAP band they are now.
