April 13

What album is this? Cover has whip adorned with lillies.

I am trying to figure out an allusion made in Amalia Kahana-Carmon's Na'ima Sasson Writes Poetry. The allusion is to a music record (an album). The cover of the album, the text says, has on it a whip adorned with lilies. The text says nothing else, but there somethings I can assume are true. The album is probably of Western music, most likely American, maybe British. It is most likely from the 60's or 50's. That's all I know. Your help in figuring this out is greatly appreciated.

Is there a term for this

Does anyone know if there is some kind of established term for the concept of having characters in an animated show that deviate widely from the overall style of the show? For example a very "cartoony" character alongside a otherwise realisticaly drawn cast (and I don't mean characters who merely temporarily turn into chibis for whatever reason). Examples beeing characters like the pirates in Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea or Dr. Sane from Star Blazers (sorry can't think of anyting more contemporary right now) where all other characters are draw with fairly realistic proportions. --Sherool (talk) 12:10, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How about the Canadians on South Park? That's a modern example. I don't know of an established term for it though. --Kainaw ^(talk) 01:09, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, and Ozmodiar from The Simpsons. Anchoress 01:16, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Then there was the Simpsons where Homer became a 3D CGI figure. StuRat 01:43, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sesame Street

Can the children that appear on the Sesame Street Televison show see the people operating the puppets? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 170.94.15.253 (talk) 17:11, 13 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Probably, or they're too naive to notice--$UIT 19:56, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the muppets are normally behind some barrier (like Oscar's garbage can), keeping the operators hidden from both the camera and the kids in front. That might be important in getting the kids to act like the muppets are real. I'd bet their acting wouldn't be nearly as convincing if they knew they were having a conversation with some guy's hand.
