Bundle of Laughs
The album consists of many absurd scenes inhabited by countless phallus and vulva-shaped figures such as sumo-wrestlers with phallus heads, a phallus-headed teacher educating on the female sex organs, a street vendor offering penises, a phallus-headed dog with two phallus tails, a mermaid with a vulva face, a samurai hunting a phallus-headed wild boar with a long spear, a vulva-shaped ghost who is holding two glans penises and much more.
The stubborn elephant with the vulva ears and phallus-shaped tusk and feet is a real bundle of laughs.
