Nirvana's cover of "Son Of A Gun" origiginally by the Vasselines..
I think you've got the thread title backwards. This is for good covers of bad songs, not bad covers of good songs.

I can't think of any. I despise ironic covers even by bands I enjoy.

Well, I guess we disagree because I think Nirvana did a great cover of Son Of a Gun, I'm just not into the vasselines as much, I definitaly wouldn't call them bad but Nirvana's cover is more my taste.

And no, I don't hink Nirvana played Plateau better than the Meat Puppets, nor did they do Oh, Me and in my opinion, which differ from many, I like the original Lake of Fire more.

Mushroomhead's cover of Crazy is amazing. The original is by Seal, which is in my opinion horrible.

I'm not a huge fan of that MM song but that version doesn't sound like much of an improvement to me. It's pretty annoying actually. But I think all you're trying to say is that you hate the song and anything is better than the original. Right?

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
