Cover Art
The picture on the cover of the album features a man rowing a boat made out of washbasins strung together in a body of water. The photo was taken by Margaret Bourke-White and was part of a series of photographs taken after the Ohio River flood of 1937. The emblem showing the name of the band and the name of the album is very similar to the logo of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. The cover was designed by John Flansburgh and Elizabeth van Itallie.

Now I don’t pretend to be no preacher, but I’ve read the Good Book from cover to cover and back again, and I nary found one word agin dancin’. So we’ll commence by havin’ a dad blasted good dance.”
