[Buzzo]

Has this been done yet? Here's a few off the top of my head:

M People: Itchycoo Park (Small Faces)
Wet Wet Wet: Sweet Little Mystery (John Martyn)
Sting: 'Se mo Laoch
Pariah Scarey: Without you (Nillson)
In fact, anything as done by Pariah, Shitney, Shitney, Westwife, Gobbie Williams etc.

The weddos song that kerbdog did for the B-side of Dummy Crusher. I have it somewhere, it was either kennedy or brassneck can't remember, it was terrible anyway.

Sneaker Pimps - Firestarter - uuugh

 

[brianoak]

Limp Bizkit-Faith
Metallica-Whiskey in the Jar
Rolf Harris-Stairway to Heaven
System of a down-Snowblind
Pantera-Electric funeral-cover of planet caravan was amazing though

The Scissors Sisters' version of "Comfortably Numb" is, without a doubt, one of the worst cover versions I've ever heard in my life.

Possibly the worst.

Ronan Keating - Fairytale of New York (Pogues and Kirsty)


Fu*cking HORRENDOUS cover version.

 

[krystal]

[krystal]

Nononono. Oh Nonononono. It is one of the best cover versions 4evah

Beautiful South - Livin Thing (ELO) ; Bleeuuuurgh. I think these guys have released an album of cover versions lately. Eww.
Jamie Callum - Everlasting Love (The Love Affair) ; This song has also been butchered by the likes of Gloria Estefan and U2 amongst others. Fucking retards.
Atomic Kitten - The Tide Is High ; Knackers. This has ruined the Blondie one for me. The Paragons original is still a gem though.
Sixpence None The Richer - There She Goes (The La's) ; Stupid mormons didn't know it was about smack is the only good thing about this cover version.
UB40 - I'll Be Your Baby Tonight (Bob Dylan) ; Yuk.
Limp Bizkit - Faith (George Michael) ; Cry.

Save Ferris covering the ouevre of Cheap Trick. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

I'm with you on this with Kirstie. I love Kate Bush and can see no harm in the Futureheads version of Hounds of Love. I think it rules.

 

[krystal]

It's totally deadly. It makes me not like her actual real version now.

Speaking of Blondie.

Does anyone remember the episode where Sabrina, Harvey and Whiney Anorexia drink talent potion for the talent contest in school because they don't want Porny Libby to win?
Well the fuckin no magic bitch covers One Way or Another by Blondie to win it, and I get nauseated everytime I hear that song now. I mean, it was the way they did it. We all know Sabrina's a crap dancer, and that coupled with Harveys stupid grinning drumming face and the girls' crappy pretend guitar playing and lamoid lip synching that made me wanna streeeeeeal the wench across the school hall and kick her in the magic box.

Oh yeah. I think One Way Or Another must be an American karaoke classic or something, cos any TV show or movie with a karaoke scene uses either that song or I Want You To Want Me by Cheap Trick. I think the fat bird on Dawson's Creek has done both.

 

[chickenham]
