Sabrina Carpenter's "Man's Best Friend" album, released on August 29, 2025, inspired a small amount of manual handling due to the easy provocative cover. On the cover photo, a carpenter (dressed in a small black dress and high -heeled shoes) poses on the hands and knees in front of an anonymous man. The man's face is out of the frame, but his fist holds a dove of a carpenter's hair. The image causes clear sexual shivering, with a carpenter playing pets as a pet of this anonymous man; The two seem to play sex game under/home in style. There is nothing explicitly sexual for the picture, but it is certainly provocative.

Controversy comes from some who may consider a carpenter to be too sexual or who do not approve of presenting himself as a sexual subject for a mysterious man. However, Carpenter has long been a very sexual songwriter with a few pretensions to be "healthy". She said how much in Interview with an interview magazinestating that she prefers when people recognize and appreciate the sexual nature of her music. She even She referred to "The Rocky Horror Shake Show" in her music video for "tears". The roof of the album "Man's Best Friend" is not very "controversial", then, but a seemingly sequel to Carpenter's typical sexual milieu, which always caused some monokers to appear.

Of course, the Fans of Rob Rainer's ridicule in 1984 "This is the spinal fountain" will immediately see what a Carpenter is doing. Indeed, Carpenter can very well do that movie with "Human Best Friend". In Rainer's film, the fictional rock band spinal fountain attracts many controversy to publish a record with a similar image on the cover, titled "Smelling of Glove". Even Rainer has noticed, as he noticed in an interview with Hollywood reporter.

In A fictional arc of "this is the spinal fountain", Spinal Tap is soon to release a record called "Smell on the Glove", which some said was disgusting. Members of the group (played by Christopher guest, Michael McCain and Harry Shurer) believe their record is harmless and only evokes ultra-sexual images that are usually associated with heavy metal. The roof of the "smell of glove" is close to the woman's face and a leash visibly around her neck, with the man's hand sticking out of the frame, shaking a black leather glove in the face. The character named Bobby Fleckman (Fran Drescher) says the cover of the album is offensive and denial.

Rainer regained the scene "smells of the glove" while talking to TR, quoting the ridiculous, semi-susceptible dialogue of the film. Spinal fountain members note that the rival, a singer named Duke Glory, recently released a record where he is tied to bed and waving him with half -naked women. The group's manager (Tony Hendra) claims that Duke's record of fame has not attracted controversy because "He is The Victimpt, "Thus, the cover" Smell of the Glove "is eventually changed. Indeed, the last line is that "smells of the glove" changes to be black, covered and back, without any text.

Rainer was then asked about "the best friend of man" and his resemblance to "smells of glove". Rainer gathered it a lot, answering:

"True. Spinal tap The world) is this strip of Mobius that bends into itself. Life -imitating art, imitating life, imitating art. "

Rainer is clearly flattering. And that's not where the similarities end.

Fans of the spinal fountain may also notice that Carpenter's "best friend's best friend" probably brings a closer resemblance to the cover of a spinal cord singing that came out in 1992.

Although a band was invented, Spinal Tap still released a few records in real life and singles over the years, and the three comedians occasionally performed heavy metal concerts while in the character like David St. Habins, Nigel Tufel and Derek Smiles. In 1992 The leading single from that album was highlighted by a misogynistic diet called "School B ** h". The single even had a fully produced music video that aired on MTV in the early 1990s. "B ** CH School" was also published as a special single, and the cover for that single is ... OK, it's almost the same as "man's best friend" exactly.

Specifically, the cover of "B ** CH School" is a full -body footage of a woman in discovery fetish clothing, including socks with fish, leather and chains. It is on the hands and knees and is also equipped with a leash. In an overall twist, a dog paw holds the lanter. The Lenna also wears a graduated dashboard to point out that she truly attends a title school. The Vibs is approximately the same as "man's best friend". Indeed, both albums encourage viewers to think about the word "b ** h". In the case of the spinal tap, the word is printed right on the cover.

Spinal Tap would not have made another (real -world) record until 2009, when the group recorded "back from the dead". Recently, in 2025, they also announced the "end continued", the soundtrack to Rainer's new sequel "Spinal Tap II: The end continues".

It is fun to think that the false title of the album "Shock" by Rid of 1984 now easily carries pop stars in real life. OK, Sabrina.
