Worst cover songs you've ever heard?

 

Mine would have to be...

Nana - Anarchy In The U.K.

Panic! At The Disco - Karma Police

 

 

The first one is a J-Pop cover and I had an extremely horrified look on my face when I first heard it.

I love the song Karma Police, but for that one, I just couldn't listen to the whole thing...

Fall Out Boy - Love Will Tear Us Apart

 

this one is an absolute hilarious disaster.

 

edit: ohh, and even worse

 

The Darkness - Street Spirit

 

how can you possibly sleep at night having completely and utterly butchered one of the best songs ever?

in my view, if you're going to do a cover, don't just make it sound EXACTLY like the original. Him - Wicked Game is a good example of how to do it right.

 

same with Throwdown - Baby Got Back. Hardcore version of Sir-Mix-A-Lot??? HELLS YEAH!!!

For some reason, a lot of bands covering Oasis sound like shit...the only good one I've heard was Lyla by the Foo Fighters...the rest sound like crap:

 

Maroon 5: Don't Look Back In Anger

Sum 41: Morning Glory

Paul Anka: Wonderwall (well the whole record sucks...)

 

And a band covered Acquiesce some time ago but I can't remember who. They did it badly anyways.

Kasabian - Heroes

Morrissey - That's Entertainment

Mark Ronson - Stop Me (If You Think You've Heard This One Before)

Ahh yes the "very talented" Good Charlotte...it was horrible

 

Eddie Vedder's You've Got To Hide Your Love Away was absolute shit as well...he sounds like a goat on sleeping gas

 

Edit: Actually, a lot of songs off the I Am Sam soundtrack are really bad Beatles covers:

 

Stereophonics - Don't Let Me Down (you'll fall asleep before the end)

Heather Nova - We Can Work It Out

The Black Crowes - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds

Howie Day - Help

Grandaddy - Revolution

 

And worst of all:

 

Nick Cave - Let It Be

eh eh now, Wonderwall done by Ryan Adams was a fantastic rendition.

 

I'd have to agree with the post about the New Found Glory cover album.
