Say all you want—you can’t go wrong with art. Even if it’s bad, you can still appreciate the effort, the amount of time and talent it took, and other aspects. Even getting to a point where it’s so bad, it’s good becomes an art form in and of itself in that sense.

Consider music album covers: there is a certain kind of approach to album cover art, yet folks still manage to create something that makes you scratch your head. For any reason. Calling it bad would be wrong because at least you can laugh about it, and bad doesn’t make you laugh. It’s still good. Right?

So, with that said, scroll down to have some laughs at questionable album cover art, as seen on the Bad Record Covers page.

    Schat means treasure in Dutch, and is a term of endearment. So the title translates in to something like Hey Honey.

    Many of these religious people seem unable to grasp the meaning of the word "quartet".

    My elder cousins graduated in the late '70's. Their graduation photos were just as awful.

    This song is such an iconic song in the denomination I grew up in. It perpetuated the toxic positivity that people were expected to live out. Either the idea that God only loved you if you were happy, healthy, and wealthy or the flipside of that, that if you only loved God enough you would be happy, healthy, and wealthy. Instead of the hope the song is supposed to offer it is just another cog in the wheel of the distortion of reality.

    God probably said "No me gusta" and ran away.
