Worst covers you've heard?

Six Feet Under - Back in Black (AC/DC)

Now I knew it was the former lead singer of Cannibal Corpse but I didn't think it would be that bad.
 
leona lewis - run

My god that is bad. She has to extend every word.

Normal:

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice

Slapper:

Liiiiiggggghtttt uuuupppppp, Liiiiiiiiiggggght upppppppppppppppppp.
 
Chop suey by Avril Lavigne......christ almighty

It really is quite horrendous, I've heard rumours that it was meant as a joke but I'm not sure I credit her with enough savvy to manage that.

The Streets - Your Song is easily up there with the worst covers I've ever heard, I'd have done an embedded YouTube video but that would only encourage more people to listen to it. There are a fair few more that I dislike for various reasons, mainly to do with the fact that the artist covering would never do any justice to the original and certainly wouldn't improve on it but few are quite as atrocious as that.
 
Dunno why I hate it so much but Madonna - American Pie,

It's not that she's completely murdered it or anything, but to take a classic song and basically make it slightly worse in every possible way just grates...
