Worst covers you've ever heard?

Tom Sawyer by Mindless Self Indulgence

My friend insists that it kicks ass, but it absolutely butchers the song, it's so ridiculously shitty compared to the (real) Rush version.

God that's terrible.
 
These Boots are Made for Walking by Jessica Simpson.

The original song was awesome and sexy. Now it's ruined by Jessica, and unfortunately so many people don't know of the original which pisses me off even more.

So ****ing terrible. It also pisses me off how almost no one in the crowd knows/cares what he's talking about when he mentions Radiohead and Karma Police.

Comfortably Numb by Scissor Sisters - It's bollocks! And so early on in their career made me instantly disregard anything they did after it. ****ers.

Admittedly that is a terrible cover, but do not disregard them for one song, they are a sweet band.
 
That Avril Lavigne one made me ****ing lol.

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.

But this just made my blood boil:

Korn - Another Brick In The Wall

That shit kicks ass. The album version is so good

I mean, what do you expect, for it to sound exactly the same? It's more of a redux than a cover though. I just can't see how you could say that's the worst cover you've ever heard under any circumstances other than you haven't heard very many covers.

Most covers make me willing to walk through 1000 angry gorillas if necessary, just to get to the controls faster so I can skip to the next song.
 
Korn has a few good songs.
God forbid if anyone likes a mainstream band! :O

Smells like Teen Spirit by Flyleaf.
They've got the instruments down to an acceptable level, but dear God her voice... D:
 
That Avril Lavigne cover was so amazingly bad. Some of the others were pretty bad as well, but nothing in comparison.

I also hated the Beat It cover though, what the hell were they thinking?

Yep it's all true, the excuses for a terrible song, the parts that make no sense, all of it.
 
live and let die by guns and roses is shitty ..hate axl in that song
 
I think that Korn cover is quite OK, definitely not the worst cover ever.
 
That Avril Lavigne actually isn't bad. I'd much rather listen to the regular version, and I'd actually rather not listen not that, but for who's singing it, it's not bad. Definitely not the worst...

The middle one I didn't watch...

The last one.. Wow.. That was the worst thing I've ever heard.. In my life. Holy F*ck.. Terrible. I feel bad for those kids for having a crowd for that, they must've got shanked after the show.

Oh. My. God. Does it need to be said? That was so SHIT!!!!! F***ing hilarious, though. Whoever told that guy he could sing must be deaf. Who the f*ck is that, anyway?

As for my shit covers, i have three:

first of all is Amy Winehouse doing Valerie by The Zutons:

Next, is Lily Allen doing Oh My God by the Kaiser Chiefs:

Lastly, is Atreyu doing You Give Love A Bad Name. IMO, they raped and murdered this song. See what you think.

Jesse Lacey covering Oh Comely by Neutral Milk Hotel.

Basically, whenever Lacey covers a song, he just takes the beat of the song and makes it slow and acoustic. Lucky for him, the song in question in this post was already slow and acoustic. Basically, it's a carbon copy of the popular indie song, until the end when he starts randomly screaming and forgetting lyrics. Awesome.
