Crap cover versions

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

Katie 'cunty' Melua destroying The Cure's sublime Just Like Heaven.

 

[Garage_Doors]

Bodies by Veruca Salt absolutely dire.

 

[Eggmundo]

Any Pink floyd cover (scissor sisters and the twat who remixed the wall). Not only sacrilegious but overall "just not right".

(actually i'll remove the any as easy Star Alls Stars cover of DSOTM is superb, so stick with the 2 examples mentioned.)

 

[Safeway]

Katie 'cunty' Melua

A couple of REALLY bad ones at the moment are Ronan 'cunty' Keating SLAUGHTERING 'Time After Time', and Annie Lennox DESTROYING Ash's 'Shining Light'.

 

[Norman Potting]

The ultimate bad cover is Hank Williams (not sure which number but I think it is III) turning "Atlantic City" by Brooooce into a anaemic county song.

 

[Austrian Gull]

Madonna's version of American Pie - absolutely dreadful.

 

[OzMike]

Was it:
YouTube - Talk Talk - LIFE'S WHAT YOU MAKE IT - 1986

Or
YouTube - Talk Talk - IT'S MY LIFE - 1984

On reflection I think she actually managed to F*ck up the pair of them

 

[coventrygull]

Personal Jesus Johnny Cash

 

[Juan Albion]

The Saturdays cover of Just Can't Get Enough is distinctly average

I haven't heard it but if it was 'average' that would make it better than the original, shirley?

 

[public school boy]

Celine Dion and Anastacia doing YOU SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG.Voted worst ever cover version.See it on youtube

 

[Pavilionaire]

The Steve Miller Band, and the ear-removal scene in Reservoir Dogs were completely tarnished by Louise Redknapp's cover of "Stuck In The Middle With You".

[public school boy]

[scooter1]

[Dover]

Madonna...Love Don't Live Here Anymore.

 

[element]

If I go to a Thirtysomethings disco, I always ask for 'Dancing in the Street' by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas and usually get served up the tripe that is the Bowie/Jagger version

Sickening

 

[Safeway]

michael Jackson - I am the Wallrus is beyond words

When did he do that then?

 

[Dave the OAP]

PEDANT ALERT!!!!

I think that you will find that Stealers Wheel did the original.

Gerry rafferty ( of Baker Street) was the lead singer of Steelers Wheel

 

[Dave the OAP]

When did he do that then?

it was one of the Beatles tracks that he recorded when all rights to their back catalogue was bought by MJ outbidding Paul McCartney
