==Artwork== The cover for ''Off the Deep End'' parodies the famous cover of Nirvana's album ''Nevermind'', which depicts an infant in the deep end of a pool chasing after a dollar bill on a [[fishhook]].<ref name="nirvanadiscogs">{{cite web| url = http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=924027| title = Nirvana β Nevermind/ Images| access-date = September 14, 2010| work = [[Discogs]]| location = [[Portland, Oregon]], United States}}</ref> The ''Off the Deep End'' cover shows Yankovic in the baby's place apparently swimming to catch a [[doughnut]] on a string. While the Nirvana cover has a fully nude baby, Yankovic instead wore a bathing suit in a way that his body position hid it; he later jokingly noted, "I never really anticipated going full-frontal on any of my album covers."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.spin.com/2011/10/tough-questions-weird-al-yankovic/|title=Tough Questions for 'Weird Al' Yankovic|date=2011-10-24|author=Sellers, John|work=Spin|access-date=2014-01-28}}</ref> The CD, liner notes, and artwork continue the parody of Nirvana's album, borrowing the same blue, wave-light graphics from the printed surface of ''Nevermind''.<ref name="nirvanadiscogs"/><ref name="weirddiscogs">{{cite web| url = http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=838850| title = 'Weird Al' Yankovic β Off The Deep End/ Images | access-date = September 14, 2010| work = [[Discogs]]| location = [[Portland, Oregon]], United States}}</ref>
