Click here AT YOUR PERIL to hear Britney Spears' desecration of (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.

Sacrilege.

If we turn the volume down, I'd rather stare at Britney than Mick :eek:

You have a lot of company.

Quote:

In May 2000, Britney Spears covered "Satisfaction" on her album Oops!... I Did It Again. At the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards, Spears performed a medley of the aforementioned album's title track and "Satisfaction". She began by singing "Satisfaction" in a suit, but soon she stripped off the suit in favor of much more revealing attire beneath and began singing "Oops", displaying a more provocative image than she had before. In response to criticisms of her "striptease", Spears said: "I just wanted to look really sparkly and fun. I'm not the kids' parents. I can't tell them what to do, I just go up and do my own thing."

So awful it's kinda good.

The Residents' 1986 cover of Hank Williams' "Kaw Liga":

The bass line is from "Billie Jean". Williams was once married to a woman named Billie Jean.

In 2006, we forgot to call Lumberjim a fag. We are deeply sorry for the lack of offense.

Not so.

His rendition of 'Common People' by Pulp is quite good.

And, Griff.... In 2006, no one wanted to get told to eat a dick.... So...

Seeing that name next to the thread title just brought back a whole lot of memories. It was JMcG that introduced me to the Cellar very nearly ten years ago.

Did you get a quiz when you joined?

Having grown up listening to Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, I have this to say...

I will NEVER forgive Metallica.

I knew the words to 'Turn The Page' by the time I was EIGHT. It did NOT need a cover, especially that one.

Jay - I quite like Bananarama's Venus...but then....my taste might of sucked big time back then.

I like that version of Venus as well. My favorite cover of all time thus far is a tossup; if I'm feeling all 'vintage' (aka feeling my ACTUAL age) it's 'Mercury Blues' as done by the Steve Miller Band, and if I'm feeling more modern it's definitely the 2007 digital remaster of 'Running Up That Hill' by Placebo. (I still have the Kate Bush original on 7" single, because I'm VINTAGE dammit...)

Most covers I just don't like, including many I didn't know were covers when I started not liking them.
