These Furby-Inspired Album Covers Will Give You Major Nostalgia

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!"
