I'm of the opinion that punning album titles like the Cozy Powell one don't really count as yawnsomely literal. Since the Stranglers one that kicked the thread off seems to have disappeared, however, I think it needs a nudge:

returning to this one, obstacle by vettor.
https://exclaim.ca/images/vettor-obstacle.jpg
wouldn't steps make something accessible? an obstacle would be like a rabid hyena guarding the bottom step. not yawnsomelly literal imo.
― andrew m., Wednesday, 19 July 2023 18:29 (one year ago) link
for a person with mobility issues or a wheelchair user the steps would certainly be an obstacle, I guess. anyway, carry on!

Maybe the band are actually facing towards the camera, and they are the obstacle to you getting up the stairs.

a-ha put an easter egg for Norwegians in the video for the single "Hunting High and Low": a couple of times at the word "high" in the chorus, the video shows a shark, which in Norwegian is "hai", pronounced just the same.

I was hoping for something similar for I’m Walking or Walking To New Orleans, but no.the poignant simplicity of Here Stands Fats Domino more than makes up for it tho:https://media.s-bol.com/g5y7v61QVG1j/550x550.jpgapparently this variation also exists:https://rovimusic.rovicorp.com/image.jpg?c=gZzssbWd2077MQglSR2_Bg4Q1ghY8VaPylnm7PwcKNY=&f=4see also (not too far) upthread for Fats On Fire.
