18-Expert: Play a musician/band who has performed in drag.

Stone Temple Pilots "Core" (1992 Atlantic; 2024 Analogue Productions)
Stone Temple Pilots singer Scott Weiland was known for wearing wild outfits onstage, and regularly mixed dresses and lipstick into his clothing choices. Arguably his brightest drag ensemble came at the 2001 Dysfunctional Family Picnic festival in New York. Weiland went all out, with a long blonde wig, fishnet stockings, crop top shirt, booty shorts, faux leather gloves, lipstick, fake eyelashes and glitter. The look landed somewhere between Lady Gaga and Gwen Stefani but was unquestionably eye-catching. - Ultimate Classic Rock website.

Bad tomato! Stop humping the chair!

Now I've made up a narrative in my head where every song on this album has to do with the explaining the weirdness of the cover. Bad Tomato! Stop Humping the chair! is track 4.

Leadoff track is Frank Zappa Playing A Trumpet With His Ear.
