Watch Your Favourite Album Covers Come To Life In This Amazing Music Video

Though you may not have heard of him, Roy Kafri is about to provide you with the best slice of entertainment you’ll see today. Kafri, a comedic singer and beat-boxer from Israel, has unveiled a new music video, in which a raft of classic album covers come to life to help him out with some beat-box harmonies.

Among the albums featured are Michael Jackson’s Thriller, The Smiths’ Meat Is Murder, Simon & Garfunkel’s Wednesday Morning, 3 AM, David Bowie’s Aladdin Sane, Prince’s eponymous second album, Jeff Buckley’s Grace, and Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisted.

There’s also appearances from artists like Serge Gainsborugh and Jane Birkin, Françoise Hardy, Lionel Richie, Aretha Franklin, ABBA, Madonna, Lou Reed, Beastie Boys, Run DMC, Ahmad Jamal, Big Star, and The Beatles.

The clip also does a fine job of demonstrating what it would look like if the banana on the cover of The Velvet Underground & Nico started going bad, as well as bringing the iconic cover of Wish You Were Here to blazing, fiery life.

The track, Mayokero, is the first cut from Kafri’s album, Acowpella Beatbox. The music video, meanwhile, is the work of Vania Heymann, a second year student in Bezalel School of Art and Design, who drafted a crew of actors to help him put the classic album covers in action.
