It's tough to say which is my favorite but I love how disconcerting it is to see a naked, sweaty Herbie Mann clasping a flute on the
Push Push cover.

All I could think of was the line "Push push in the bush" from Adaptation (when Nicholas Cage's twin is talking about him and his girlfriend)

Christian Crusaders does it for me. Just think how Kingdom Of Heaven would have been improved with these guys instead of Orlando Bloom.

Despite the semi-naked oiled up cover Herbie Mann's Push Push is actually a good record with some great slide by Duane Allman. That said it is most probably the most unfortunate cover in jazz history.

I find it amusing that they just phonetically spell Superman in Russian rather than translate the words "super" and "man."

Yeah that superman cover is hideous. They probably don't have the original soundtrack on there, either.
To hazard a guess, I'm betting translating "superman" would come too close to the Nazi misappropriation of Nietzche for Russian tastes. That, or maybe it was cool to have names transliterated when the film was released there.
Or maybe it isn't the Superman we're all thinking it is, and it's instead a remake with a properly proletarian Superman saving the workers from evil capitalists?

Not to spoil your theory, be a stickler, and go totally off-topic all at the same time, but many English words go untranslated in Russia, especially those related to pop culture. They sound snappier and "the kids" prefer them to whatever the insanely long Russian variants would be.
Businessman = biznesman
Super = super
Chicken McNuggets = Chiken Maknaggetz
etc.

If a store placed this in the PS2 section, no one would notice.
And the film is far worse than the cover!

Here's another goodie/baddie:
There's something "Little Shop of Horrors" about this one.

Are the couple in the foreground startled from looking at a mirror (currently out of frame) thats reflecting the knifeman in the background? And if they are why is said mirror outside of the house (seen in the background)?
Hella confusing that cover. Given me a headache.

I think they're shocked that their skin and hair suddenly lost all its texture for no apparent reason.
That or they're wondering why that guy who replaced Bela Lugosi in "Plan 9" by covering his face all the time is stalking them.

"Serial Insane Clown Killer"
so is the clown on the cover the victim?
Yes, and we should all be very grateful for the nice man disposing of this clown insanity, whoever he may be, though my guess is Jesus Christ on his off time from hunting vampires...
