==Background Information==
 
==Background Information==
  
[[Captain Beefheart]] is the alias of Don van Vliet, seen on the right of the cover photo.
 
The photo has been flipped, left to right, evidenced by the sign above FZ's head which reads "Chocolate Sundae" backwards. On the wider 'zoom-out' image of the Australian cover this is more apparent, but can also be seen at the overlap on the back of other vinyl issues. The [[John French]] book (Beefheart: Through The Eyes Of Magic; p10) suggests this photo was taken at 'Fosters Freeze' in [[Lancaster]].
 
  
The tracks [[Sam With The Showing Scalp Flat Top]] and [[Man With The Woman Head]] were written by [[Captain Beefheart|Don van Vliet]] ©1973 Beefheart Music, BMI.
+
Dave McMacken on the cover art content and concept:
 +
 
 +
"I listened to a truly bizarre take of the scene that Zappa imagined. In fantastic detail, he proceeded to tell me the story of Over-Nite Sensation and that the cover painting was to be done in a formal, realistic "Dutch Master" style, with the objects in the painting to be portrayed as visual elements from the story.
 +
 
 +
The painting captures a moment in the life of a band roadie on tour, with "Over-Nite Sensation" being a reference to the horniness of bands on the road. The space we're looking at is in a true perspective, but they're in a mirror and the object on the viewer's side are in reverse. Our focal object is a grapefruit, the symbol of a sexual object, and the grapefruit's been penetrated, with "cum" oozing out of it. The fire extinguisher symbolizes the completion of the act of intercourse, and even the frame is a sexual fantasy, starting off in gold and going to rot. All of the other items - the Holiday Inn, the food, maps and oozing TV - represent the doldrums of being on the road." <ref>http://rockpopgallery.typepad.com/rockpop_gallery_news/2010/04/uncovered-interview-overnite-sensation-by-dave-mcmacken.html</ref>

On the far right of the larger canvas of the 200 Motels (triptych)<ref>http://www.ratzandcompany.com/shop-online-1/frank-zappas-200-motels-triptych</ref> by Dave McMacken there is a floating disembodied hand apparently pointing at Jesus Christ and Adolf Hitler in bondage gear, he later re-used a similar disembodied hand motif on the Overnite Sensation sleeve <ref>http://www.ratzandcompany.com/shop-online-1/copy-of-frank-zappas-200-motels-2</ref>.

Liner Notes

Background Information

Dave McMacken on the cover art content and concept:

"I listened to a truly bizarre take of the scene that Zappa imagined. In fantastic detail, he proceeded to tell me the story of Over-Nite Sensation and that the cover painting was to be done in a formal, realistic "Dutch Master" style, with the objects in the painting to be portrayed as visual elements from the story.

The painting captures a moment in the life of a band roadie on tour, with "Over-Nite Sensation" being a reference to the horniness of bands on the road. The space we're looking at is in a true perspective, but they're in a mirror and the object on the viewer's side are in reverse. Our focal object is a grapefruit, the symbol of a sexual object, and the grapefruit's been penetrated, with "cum" oozing out of it. The fire extinguisher symbolizes the completion of the act of intercourse, and even the frame is a sexual fantasy, starting off in gold and going to rot. All of the other items - the Holiday Inn, the food, maps and oozing TV - represent the doldrums of being on the road." [1]

Conceptual Continuity

On the far right of the larger canvas of the 200 Motels (triptych)[2] by Dave McMacken there is a floating disembodied hand apparently pointing at Jesus Christ and Adolf Hitler in bondage gear, he later re-used a similar disembodied hand motif on the Overnite Sensation sleeve [3].
