OK, so maybe this one is a bit literal, but it’s just weird enough to be cool.  It’s the cover for 1981’s self-titled sophomore album by - you guessed it - Penguin Cafe Orchestra.

The artwork, by Emily Young, closely resembles that of the group’s 1976 debut (Music from the Penguin Cafe), but I definitely prefer the more elegant and aloof look of this one.
