Worst covers you've ever heard?

[staticprimer]

David Hasselhoff - Hooked on a Feeling

Epic video is epic.

 

[Slacker]

A friend of mine owns a theremin and covered the Final Countdown cover..on his theremin

[PoeticRocker]

I think Jona Brothers cover of Aha's Take on Me was not that great.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRz6ev_ZDlM

Worst? No. But I hate pop bands that release songs like it's their own original material. And I especially hate Disney pop music.

Take on Me would be an incredibly hard song to cover. So they were basically asking to be ripped to shreds by 80s pop music purists.

 

[lefty]

I like Take on Me, I like the Reel Big Fish cover, I hate disney and the Jonas Brothers especially, and I'm afraid to click that link.

 

[Unfocused]

I quite liked the "Another Brick in the Wall" and "Karma Police" covers. They're not meant to sound the same as the original, so what's the point in saying:

And The Radiohead, THE Radiohead, not only did his singing come anywhere near the comparison of Thom Yorke but he even ****ed the name up. You just cant cover a song like Karma Police without ****ing it up.

And I think that he didn't say "THE Radiohead". There's a slight pause right before he says the name, that you could've taken for a "the".

And I facepalmed at the "Final Countdown" nad "Chop Suey" covers.

And this is my favorite worst cover XD

For some reason I liked that cover by Fallout Boy...dunno why.

Was listening to Radio 1 yesterday and they played a livelounge cover by Dizzie Rascal. Worst thing ever. Then again, ANYTHING by that twat sounds like crap...I HATE THE WAY PEOPLE TALK LIKE THAT! ARGH!!!

 

[McGooTheWise]

Snoop Dog - Sad But True

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKHarz6BUDk&feature=related

Jesus, I think I just died a little inside...

Shit, you guys beat me to it... ><

No he said 'the', and Im very critical of it because its one of my favourite Radiohead songs, and Ive seen it live, and it was one of the greatest things I have ever witnessed, I just hated the cover, my opinion.

[The Monkey]

Just discovered another one.

Limp Bizkit - Behind Blue Eyes (originally by The Who):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Pp38SR1lMU

Comment on YouTube perfectly sums up my thoughts:

Kinda makes you wonder how much they had to pay Halle Berry before she was actually willing to swap spit with this douchebag...

 

[highlander]

Just came on my iPod. Good call.

 

[Anneliese]

Karma Police by Panic! At the Disco. *shudders* http://youtube.com/watch?v=wXhtX_xjRBc

I couldn't even finish listening to that because it was so painful. They ruined one of the best songs! I've always hated Panic! at the Disco.

He did say THE Radiohead! Curse him! For their punishment, Panic will have to write a song for every Disney Channel show.

 

[The Monkey]

Sorry to bump this, but there is one cover that makes every other song in this thread sound like Mozart.

Hilary Duff - My Generation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvC6jDrxT-U

 

[StardogChampion]

I don't know many bad covers, but these are the two best EVER:

Cranberries - Zombie
[youtube]d9-Tw71TbA4[/youtube]

Britney Spears - Toxic
[youtube]_p1ByOu76n4[/youtube]​

 

[Emporius]

Going waaay back, I've always like the Oasis cover of I am the Walrus. Even better than the original depending on my mood.

 

[soulslicer]

Speaking of LB covers, this is awesome..Im not joking, I couldnt find any other place to post it, its pretty darn good with their nu metal style and all

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBHLDad9l8I&feature=related

 

[Dynasty]

Leona Lewis - Run

Snow Patrol cover

Actually its not bad, but everytime I hear it, it feels like the ultimate cure for the will to live.

[Eejit]

G4 - Bohemian Rhapsody
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=rkOX346oLIo


That Hasselhoof video is AMAZING! Someone needs to make gifs out of that

 

[Seppo]

Haha, oh dear god Eejit...I'm just...just wow. That version of Bohemian Rhapsody, so horrible and pretentious. Actually the hard rocking part of the song wasn't that bad, but the rest haha. Haha. This thread can be locked now because nobody can top that.

 

[The Monkey]

This thread can be locked now because nobody can top that.

Did you watch the video I posted with the My Generation cover?

 

[the show 1347]

Under the bridge - red hot chilli peppers

I heard all saints sing this song and it sounded absolutly crap.

There are some songs out there that should never be touched.
