Worst Cover Versions in History (1 Viewer)

[Buzzo]

Well spotted Dermody. What was that other all star version of some song last year, possibly a U2 song that loads of saps did for Aids - Alisha Keys and blUsher were in it. Not Live Aids.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye. Let us never speak of it again.

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.

So do I


Remember Utah Saints doing/ sampling Cloudbusting.
I like that too...

 

[tripoli]

i got rep for this with the best message ever

"the schmile on yer facsh lets me know that you neeeed me" = absolutely class, i couldn't have written it better myself!!!!

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


Fu*cking HORRENDOUS cover version.

 

[Jim Daniels]

Speaking of Blondie.

Neo Supervital covering Maria at a Hoot night in Dublin.
Mesmerizing

 

[rampz]

aqua: dead embryonic cells by sepultura
jennifer lopez (feat: sean john) decades by joy division



theyre album tracks. unless you actually own the albums you wont know they exist but theyre real.

 

[Pantone247]

I do a really bad version of 'I Know Him So Well' from the musical Chess

a sort of quick step reggae version

I'm fucking rubbish me

 

[nonemoreblack]

AND no-one's metioned the truly god awful version of Dont Go by the Hothouse Flowers..covered by that stubbly cunt from Boyzone. Its like he's reading the words from an auto cue or something.

 

[taubstumm]

mark owen from take that apparently did a version of 'touch me i'm sick' by mudhoney. never heard it, but then i don't really want to.

some great cover versions on the soft pink truth's 'do you want new wave...' album.

edited to add:

tori amos doing 'smells like teen spirit' is pretty shocking.

 

[evil bandit]

Mark Owen used to cover Creep by Radiohead back in his indie hay day, the fucking clown couldn't even pronounce his R's
"I'm a cwwweeeeeep" it was very funny.

Mel C also covered a Pistols song either Anarchy or Pretty Vacant and good God did it suck balls

Audioweb's bank robber was pretty shit and much as I like The Wedding Present there version of Its not unusual is shocking same goes for the Manics attempt at Train in Vain

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.

i actually kinda liked their version..shockin outfits tho

and the worst cover version has to be busted doing 'thats entertainment'..
it was a b side on one of their singles and when i was workin in golden discs we had certain days where we were only allowed listen to singles which is how i unearthed this little gem..fuckin cuntfaces..

There are so many things I want to say to you Muffin.

1- wow. Golden Discs. I'd rather clean the public toilets on O Connell St. Or work in Lush.
2- Only singles? Did they hire someone specifically to change the music then? Hell on earth.
3- fuckin cuntfaces
4- your signature is so amazing

"Sure the World Wide Web is great but you make me salivate
Always and Forever"

1)yeah its a poxy place to work..are suprisingly sound to their staff tho..i was workin there 4 months by the time christmas came around and i got 350 yo-yos in cash as a christmas bonus..plus they organise loads of staff nights out where the drink is free all night..happy days..

2)yeah every so often when single sales were down we could only listen to the top 10 singles or whatever..or sometimes we had to listen to 1 album all day..as evidenced with david kitt square 1 and that u2 go home dvd or chili peppers at slane..seriously they were the only thing we could play for an entire weekend each..fuckin painful..

3)yes busted are cunt faces..especially the one who tries to be in green day..

4)yr mom goes to college!!

 

[Scientician 0.8]

we dont need to make a list, duran duran have done it for us!!!

does anyone own this??

I recall hearing this in Das Nugs' gaff. A crime against humanity is what it is.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

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.

almost certain it was Kennedy. Awful.

 

[cozy]

if it hasn't been said yet, cliff richard-for all blah blah, you know that song everyone sings at new year. i think wet wet wet and sweet little mysteries takes the cake though. The cake of death. topped with lashing of pain cream.

I was just thinking, while reading through this thread, how odd it was that this wasn't mentioned sooner. A late starter but still a contender for worst cover ever. Anyone mentioned Axel F yet buy that Crazy Frog muppet?

 

[azezelo]

Megadeth - Anarchy in the UK
Ultra Montanes - Femme Fatale

 

[Corey]

Been thinking bout this all fucking week. Not that i wanted to mind, but you geniuses have a habit of throwin out questions that stick on yer brain.

In a time.

Where mediocrity rules....

There is a cover.

A cover of a song.

'i wish i knew how it would feel to be free' by the glorious nina simone; covered by none other than the Lighthouse family.

I have to leave the room whenever this comes on.

 

[plug]

I'm no soft cell fanatic, but dave grey's cover of "say hello, wave goodbye" is a definite candidate for this thread in my angry little book.

also, 'ironic' cover versions from like of travis or some other geekoid whinge rock fucks, doing slowed down 'heartfelt' 'unplugged' versions of songs by gowlbag pop cunts like shitney, christina etc.
