The album cover of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is one of the most recognizable album covers of all time, if not the most famous. Paul McCartney wanted to change the group's image and as a result all members let their hair and moustaches grow and pretended to be a different band. On the album cover, designed by Peter Blake and Jann Haworth, the Beatles pose dressed in military uniforms, surrounded by a celebrity audience chosen by the members themselves. Forty celebrities are either wax works or photo collage cut-outs. Note that originally there were supposed to be several more, but they were censored out by the Beatles' label EMI for being too controversial (including, in a bit of Values Dissonance, Gandhi and Adolf Hitler). Thanks to its global fame and popularity, many shout-outs to the album have been made throughout the years, especially to the collage album cover. Even Blake himself made a new homage featuring new celebrity cut-outs to celebrate his 80th birthday in 2012. The Ur-Example is the cover of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention's We're Only in It for the Money, which was released 10 months after Sgt. Pepper in March 1968. Abbey Road Crossing is another trope based on parodies of another specific Beatles album cover. Also compare Borrowing the Beatles, which addresses parodies of the band itself. |

The Simpsons: The Couch Gag of "Bart After Dark" is a parody of the album cover.◊ An alternate version is used as the cover◊ of their music album, "The Yellow Album" (the name, of course, a takeoff of another Beatles album). And like Sgt. Pepper, the early Simpsons are in suits and the current ones in fatigues. In "Homer's Barbershop Quartet" the back cover of Sgt. Peppers is spoofed when Homer looks at an album by his former band. We see three of the band members in frontal view, while Homer turns his back to the camera, just like Paul does amidst the Beatles on the Sgt. Peppers backside cover. |

Subverted by the Beatles themselves in the music video for "Free as a Bird", released as part of the Anthology project. The video pays homage to and includes easter eggs to numerous Beatles songs and significant moments in their career, but at one point the camera tracks through a room full of diverse people having a drink and chatting amongst themselves, until the camera quickly pans past the famous "Sgt. Pepper" drum and set-up. The implication is that these people are the notables who appeared on the cover having gathered for a little party after the photograph was taken. | |

The page image is a poster advertising the 2011 Sesame Street DVD Singing With the Stars, with Muppet characters from throughout Sesame Street's history, including the original orange Oscar and dopey Big Bird in the place of the early Beatles. The bust is replaced by one of Sesame Street composer Joe Raposo, with Big Bird's drawing of Mr. Hooper next to it. | |

In My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks, one of the costumes Rarity wears while practicing with the band is a hot-pink faux military uniform that is clearly modeled after the one worn by Ringo on the album cover. It comes back in the "Friendship Through the Ages" Animated Music Video for Rarity's segment, which has also strong Yellow Submarine influences. | |
