Worst covers you've heard?

[Dark_Angel]

Snoop Dog covered a Metallica song live once, I *THINK* it was sad but true.

The name of the song was very apt, and the fact snoop destroyed it.

 

[Eddie]

Scissor sisters - comfortably numb. A little bit of me dies every time I hear it

I don't think it's that bad, they put their own twist on it. I couldn't believe my ears the first time I heard it but it has grown on me a little.

Probably a very hard tune to cover too.

Mel B- word up.

Any bouncing jive ass who covers a Queen song.

Should have heard us doing "Peace and Quiet" by The Rifles last night!!!!

 

[DampCat]

Every cover that's had a dance beat added to it and added on to a "club mix" cd.

 

[DampCat]

William Shatner - Rocket man.

Surely that's the worst cover ever?.

The video is a work of art. He was doing it live, right? In front of an audience? Then he appears on the screen 3 times whilst he's singing, yeah? So... the audience had to sit through 3 sessions of him doing that 10 minute version of Rocket Man back to back... some of which he was literally just sitting there smoking for 4 or 5 minutes.

Make's me cry for them, poor sods. Love it!

Gary Jules - Mad World

disagree, prefer that to the original

 

[Sone]

Chop suey by Avril Lavigne......christ almighty

lol just listened to that, truly awful

 

[Steveh_monkey]

James Blunt massacred Where is my Mind on his outtake album.

But Knockin on Heavens door by GNR really takes the biscuit for outright stupidity.

 

[DampCat]

knack knack knacking own hiiivins daworwor....

 

[Sutters]

That chav sounding girl who covered close to me by the cure. My god that was bad.

Cascada did a cover of Avril Lasgane's Sk8er Boi. Bad song to start now with ADDED DANCE BEAT!!!

/shudders

 

[soundb0y]

oh god I hope I never hear that. Cascada and basshunter both need a good shooting

 

[FishThrower]

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.

she sang that as a joke at a concert, I think it only lasted under 40 seconds or so, wouldnt class that as a cover

 

[rypt]

When Robbie Williams did that Sinatra tribute years back

 

[semi-pro waster]

It was really that short? I must confess it seemed like a whole lot longer but perhaps the awfulness of it was distorting my perception of time.

But Knockin on Heavens door by GNR really takes the biscuit for outright stupidity.

Bad bad example of a poor cover.....

The solos are brilliant

 

[Barks]

Fall out Boy- Beat It....

Indeed. It's god awful. A horrific tune.

I have just youtubed it and listened to it again.

its 2 minutes long, and i agree with you now.. awful cover!
