If Lady Gaga's nude butt didn't illuminate the tone of "Born This Way," then the surrealist image of her face and arms fused with a hellish-motorcycle will brighten it to near-sun levels.

This image, which MTV has called "surreal," came shortly before the "gaga saga" of 2011--wherein Weird Al Yankovic proposed a parody of "Born This Way" called "I Perform This Way," was denied by Gaga management, and then later approved by Gaga herself. Fun times, fun times.

In the spirit of Weird Al, DC9 at Night would like to propose a few parodies of our own. Album cover parodies, that is. We're not looking to stomp in Weird Al's ground here (OK, maybe we are), but we think we have some solid ideas for Recording Executive Folks. Make the jump to see our top five.
