These album cover recreations on TikTok have great timing

People are recreating album covers at an alarming rate.

Recreating albums covers is nothing new, but a trend on TikTok is punching it up.

The album cover challenge takes a premise and then adds an album cover recreation or song title to drive the punchline home. A majority of the videos are scored by creator @.arjunn’s remix of the Dave Brubeck Quartet’s “Kathy’s Waltz,” yet another example of an old song being revived on TikTok.

There’s a separate contigent of album cover recreations, scored by Apollo Fresh’s “JoJo Pose,” that are more straightforward.

And there’s another album cover challenge involving Animal Crossing‘s K.K. Slider.

But some of these recreations are a little too real right now.
