This must be the worst "cover' that involves the original artist
Cover versions that should never have happened
- Thread starter Pogue Mahone
- Start date
And what were Simple Minds thing?
And this version of Tainted Life is truly terrible

I'd never heard this until someone mentioned it abouve and I looked it up onYouTube. This is so shit is is almost an art form.
Oh God, just found this... Celine Dion covering Michal Jackson's "Bad", and even tried to look like him
Blue Monday - Orgy
And I'd forgotten this Floyd cover
What's with all the hippity hoppity crap in the bridge sections? Why can't they just leave things alone.
On the subject of Floyd covers this makes me just plain numb:
This has to be the worst cover I've ever heard. I can't even laugh at it. It's just depressing.
That's a piss take surely? The chorus basically goes "who gives a shit".
"..who gives a shit (The part where it goes "And nothing else matters")
I want the things you want
I want the time I do not have..
and I'll have it!
The time for the dogs and the police (!?!).." etc..
Absolutely awful lyrics and the guy can't even sing.
Found a couple of bad ones.
Macy Gray - Walk this Way
Britney Spears - Satisfaction
Michael Bolton - Dock of the Bay
Man I hate Michael Bolton.

Sheryl Crow 'Sweet Child Of Mine'
Not bad enough to make this list. Some die hard GnR fans might disagree I guess.
I was about to post it and then I found the youtube video and realized it wasn't quite so bad. Same with Celine Dion's version of Alone.
Ooh... Good shout. Words cannot express how pleased I was when it turned out their career was as brief as they deserved (which must have been a blow to hen parties the world over).
Don't mind that either. It's a little disturbing that the singer sounds like he's singing "Beat eat" though...

Holy feck that is terrible.. Is it even real?
The cover of that awful snow patrol dirge, light up or whatever its called. How can you actually make that song worse?!
Stanley Turrentine's version of 'Many Rivers to Cross'.
Oh those bastards. I'm pretty sure the little feckers murdered Teenage Kicks at some point too.
I aren't even going to play that.
The original was such a classic pressing play would only end in tears.
The Leona Lewis version? It's called Run isn't it?
I hate it. I'm biased though - she's good, but so hyped it's untrue.
I really hate the Oasis cover of I am the walrus, just arrogant and pure shit. I don't like most songs that sample Gary Numan hooks and pretend they've come up with something original for example Basement Jaxx's Wheres my head at.
