So what I want to know, I guess in the same vein as the kick-ass covers thread, is what are the absolute worst covers of all time? Crimes against music that the people responsible should be lined up and shot?

However i am very fond of her cover of Imagine. It's not a great song to start with though.

 

[McLovin]

Yeah she does a decent job with that one.

I'll throw in Lee Harlings version of "Eye of the Tiger"...ugh...
