There are many reasons we love the Internet, but mostly it's because no matter how offbeat an idea may be, it has the potential to become a major hit.
And today's coolest (read: oddest) Internet idea is Furby Living, a project by Swedish artist William Källback Winter which re-imagines Top 40 album covers with Furbies, the oddly lifelike toys that dominated the late 90s and early 2000s. Winter creates each album cover through a mix of photography and Photoshop, spending two to five hours on each.
Winter owns four Furbies himself. "I actually pick the Furby depending on the expression I need," he told Yahoo!. "The original 1998 Furby is great for more wide-open eyes. The 2005 Furby has bottom eyelids, which is great for squinting eyes, as well as a more expressive mouth. The 2012 Furby doesn't have eyelashes, which works better for guys even though I've only used it for Justin Bieber that way. I usually just try posing them for a bit and see which Furby looks most like the artist I'm recreating!"
