The Worst Covers Ever?
 

After hearing G4 near KILL Bohemian Rhapsody, and Electic 6's demolishion of 'Radio GAGA', i wondered what all you guys nd gals thought the worst cover youve ever heard is?
Toooooooooooomy.x

Radio gaga has to be one of the WORST covers ever unleashed upon us.. And Electric Six have got to be one of the worst bands Ive ever had the bad luck of listening to. I hate them. And I hate hate HATE that song.

Thats probably the worst cover ever in my opinion. Along with the worst video.

*Now has steam coming out of her ears over talking about Electric Six*

anyone remember Mel B (i think) from the spice girls' cover of 'Word up'?... oh... dear... lord... :banghead:

WOAH!!! I completely forgot about that. Ha that was cool.. Too many people have covered 'Word Up' now, and it wasnt that great a song to begin with. Korn's version is driving me up the flipping wall...

I think either that, or Avril Lavigne singing metallica!

OR Avirl Lavigne doing Chop Suey.


*Dies of laughter* EVERYONE DOWNLOAD THAT NOW you'll love it...

the worst cover i have EVER heard is eric prydz "follow me", the video- ok fair enough, im a fan; but the song itself drives me insane. the original wasnt even that great either.

busteds version of teenage kivks kills me too.

Anything touched by Joss Stone

argh her version of the stripes "fell in love with a girl" is insulting.

That song was **** to start with

im a fan of it.

Sheryl Crow needs a beat down after she slaughtered Sweet Child Of Mine

william shatner sings lucy in the sky with diamonds, son.

HAHAHAHA i remember that HAHAHA that was hilarious man it was meant to be a joke right?

2 songs that spring to mind that i`ve heard over the past few months

Fall Out Boy deserve to be sent to Guantanamo bay for what they did to Joy Divisions Love Will Tear Us Apart.

And i`d also like to remove the testicles from the members of the Get Up Kids , seeing as thats what they did to the Cure`s Close To You

Ha Ha sorry halarious, him singing a song abrieveated as LSD. You'd have to be high to employ him to act!

Yeh i agree fully about peoples comments on joss stone- she fkd that song and i dont like the missy higginns cover of the skyhooks "you just like me caus im good i bed" and unless my hearing is shot she doesnt even put in the part about giving good head so yeh that sux.

That and she did Hurt on a Johnny Cash tribute. I dont think she realized who originally wrote that song.

All the covers you guys mentioned are pretty bad. There's plenty more. All the bands who try and do covers of Cure and Pixies songs end up sounding horrible ( I take that back, cause PJ Harvey did Monkey Gone To Heaven, that was good). Me First and The Gimme Gimme's shouldn't make money. All the covers Marilyn Manson did- horrible (meh, Sweet Dreams still better than the rest). Tori Amos doing Eminem's 97 Bonnie and Clyde- ewww. Still, the rest of that album was genius.
I'm more than disgusted with local bands in my area doing covers of Dave Matthews Band and Sublime over and over and over and over again. How do people listen to the same played-out songs for ten years straight?

HInt at the title of the album "Project 1950" the equipment was exatly brand new....

A friend owns a Pixies tribute album ,

It`s awful , ****e like Weezer & The Promise Ring ruining Pixies songs

Ugh

"How Soon Is Now" - The Smiths covered by Love Spit Love


This f***ing Charmed-Intro sucks!

mmm...im scared. i cant stand to hear her on the radio much less my own music library. plus if i piss myself from laughter my parents will wonder why.

oh and by the way the worst cover ive heard so far is new found glory's version of heavin isn't too far away. i grew up listening to 80s and trust me, they butchered it.

That cover Madonna did of American Pie was pretty bad.

Yeah...Madonna totally f***ed it up...stupid biatch...It was an OK song till she got to it

every novelty pop punk/ska cover of some obscure 80's pop song.

Oh yeah, that was AWFUL!!!!!!!

Ozzy Osbourne's version of Mississippi Queen.
the original version wasn't anything special, but come on.... (retching noises)

bowling for soup does summer of 69 :yikes:

^I thought the original was bad enough Bowling For Soup just made it worse.

Oh god you`re so right , those things irritate the crap outta me.And it`s always the most obvious songs too.

I think the only ever modern day ska cover i`ve ever heard that I liked was the Mighty Mighty Bosstones doing Detroit Rock City by Kiss

Zero 7's cover of My Heart Will Go On *shudder* never...again

Bet it`s better than the original

But on the other hand genital mutilation with rusty pliers is better then the original.

a whole f u c k i n g album of queens greatest hits done by electric light orchestra.... effing painful listening

lol, i wannt

no, no you dont...

old thread bump!!!

Last night I heard a cover of Prodigy's Firestarter by Gene Simmons, to say that it was a steaming turd would be an insult to steaming turds

When Avril did a cover of Basketcase by Green Day. Didn't like the song in the beginning, hate it even more now. Yellowcard butchered a few good songs too.. like their cover of Everywhere by Michelle Branch (I think) and their cover of Don't You Forget About Me by Billy Idol.

Don't You Forget About Me by Simple Minds??

BTW: where in On-Terrible are you from??
