Crap cover versions

[Herr Tubthumper]

The worst ever cover by a long chalk is Sympathy for the Devil by Guns and Roses. A veritable butchering. I'd love to know what their intentions were.

Also Duran Duran's 991's a joke is pretty crap. The Guardian's review says it all "I can imagine Duran Duran patting themselves on the back for crossing the boundaries of music with this offering....not realising that the very reason musical boundaries exist is to help prevent washed up new romantics butchering classic rap songs"

YouTube - 911 is a Joke Duran Duran LIVE

And if the song isnt bad enough the video also contains Simon Le Bon in pink trousers.

 

[The Large One]

Without You by Mariah Carey


No redeeming features whatsoever.

 

[London Pompous]

Boys of Summer was murdered by some Europop babe

 

[bhaexpress]

All Saints dreadful cover of 'Under the Bridge'. Various feeble attempts to cover The Las 'There She Goes'.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Britney Spears – I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll

No Britney, you don't. And your attempt to convince anybody otherwise was, quite frankly, shit.

Cher is responsible for some real horrors: Love Hurts and Walking in Memphis being 2 of the worst.

..there was an awful rave version of the latter as well.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

'If' By telly Savalas takes some beating..

..there was an awful rave version of the latter as well.

It was by a group called Scooter, called 'I'm ravin, I'm ravin'

They also had a big hit with a cover of Supertramp's 'The Logical Song'

Raving I'm Raving by Shut Up & Dance. Quality tune that gives me goose bumps whenever I hear it.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

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

They also did a cover of White Lines too, with much the same results.

That Stefani bint with her cover of ' Life's what ou Make It', some things should be left alone.

Having trouble with the 'y' on keyboard

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Rocket Man by William Shatner anybody?

It was No Doubt doing It's my life, but I get what you mean and I agree with it!

 

[Billy the Fish]

Chez has beaten me to it. Scooter is a piss poor attempt to copy the original by shut up and dance. Shut up and Dance's tune wasn't a cover, they just borrowd the lyrics.

It's a classic, even if the vocal is a bit gay.
