Worst covers ever!!

[SpaceMonkey]

lol maybe we should just say any dance version of ANY song ;-)

I agree, although chucking a crap 4/4 drum machine and some breathy female vocals onto some 80's song and calling it dance music is as much of an insult to real dance music as it is to the original artists. Its friggin' aerobics studio music!

The Damned doing Eloise. A wimpy song originally by Barry Ryan and butchered by awful, off key vocals. Like figernails down a blackboard.

Metallica doing Whiskey in the Jar (old Thin Lizzy) and Stone Cold Crazy ( even older Queen).

Eric Cartman singing In the Ghetto. At least it was funny, more than I can say for the others.

Britney's 'I love rock n roll'

Limp Bizkit's 'behind blue eyes'

 

[knights04]

Five - We will rock you
Boyzone - Father and son
Madonna - American pie

 

[Evilgrowler]

That godawful dance version some talentless losers did of the logical song by supertramp :evil:

There's a dance version? Really?

Blasphemis. :evil:

Well, as far as a cover from a GOOD band goes, Gunners cover of Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones is absolutely FARKIN terrible.

 

[Matt23]

I'd have to agree with Brook, Scooter's (some German techno fairy) version of the logical song, absolute butchery :x

 

[MILLWALL]

Poison the well do a cover of today by the smashing pumpkins it sounds good heavy but you cant use the metal scream sound really crap

Heard that cover a while ago, wouldnt say it was the worst cover but it sure sucks. Too bad the've gone away from their hardcore roots and now sound more 'nu-metal'.

Earth Crisis has released an album full of crap covers.

 

[Newbie]

Absolutely hated Atomic Kitten's 'The Tide Is High'

PLEASE JUST LEAVE IT TO BLONDIE!!!!

* the cover of thunderstruck replacing angus's superb guitar work with dance beats or similar :evil:
* all saints version of the chilli peppers under the bridge - hear that at work all the time, get all excited when the opening riff comes on thinking im going to hear a decent song but then this crap comes on :evil:
* avril lavigne doing system of a downs toxicity - absolutely laughable, couldnt stop laughing for ages
* britney spears doing rolling stones i cant get no satisfaction

 

[El Coconuto]

Britney Spears - 'I Love Rock n Roll' ](*,)

 

[keeney]

landslide by dixie chicks i think it was

 

[Beaver_Online]

In no particular order some shockers from me include:

Break My Stride - Unique II (although the original was like vomit to the ears anyway)

Boys Of Summer - DJ Sammy or Scooter (just putrid)

Bizarre Love Triangle - Frente (A New Order classic)

Stand Back - Linus Loves (Stevie Nicks would be hitting the coke again after hearing that effort)

Faith - Limp Bizkit - enough to turn George Michael gay...er...hold on

Kiss - Tom Jones and Art of Noise - retire Tom...

Heaven - DJ Sammy or Scooter again (Bryan Adams - how could you sell thr rights to that)

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - The Chimes (one-hit wonders and we know why).

I think there are about 10 others trapped in this brain...

Boys Of Summer - DJ Sammy or Scooter (just putrid)

in saying that
i think the ataris version of 'boys of summer' is BETTER than the original..
not to mention dj sammy's version

If you want to bother downloading it, the worst cover version ever, and I mean ever.

Is Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" by Sonic Youth.

A-Tonal, and at some stages she forgets the words. But kept this on the recording anyway.

That's the whole point sparky.

It was actually done by Ciccone Youth - a Sonic Youth side-project. Kim Gordon recorded the version of the song as a joke in one of those 'create your own music video' booths :lol:
