Yawnsome literalness can strike at any time in any era.

That's a cool cover - I'd contend literal but not yawnsome. Is the album any good?

it also positions itself quite awesomely literally as a follow-up to MJ’s Off the Wall...https://media.s-bol.com/k2xPMDGL7Z4N/550x554.jpg...which is a prime example of the thread premise itself (and may or may not have been posted here before)
