Covers that make you cringe....
 

as Ibram said.....


Few things are radder than a great cover of a great song........


but then again there are those that made you wonder why they bothered.

like The Doors version of Gloria
Banarama's cover of Venus

Jessica Simpson's utter bastardisation of Robbie Williams' 'Angels' makes me want to scratch someone's eyes out :) (preferably hers)

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

ah, the folly of youth...... check out the original by Shocking Blue, and then search and download others from them...

Hey Ducks I'll hold Jessica down by the large lumps on her chest if you go for her eyes LOL

Green Day doing We Are The Champions takes the cake for worst ever, I think.

Nirvana's Man Who Sold The World comes close.

Oh, and David Bowie and Mick Jagger's cover of Dancing in the Streets.

Elvis Costello - Ship of Fools
Cindy Lauper - Another Brick in the Wall
:greenface

Surely you are making this up, nobody would let Lauper try that, would they?

Ew, nobody is worthy of covering ABitWII. Gilmour is a god, and the only person worthy of playing guitar in that song. I doubt that any of the "anti-establishment" bands who cover that song to make an extra few bucks know anything about the song, or what it means.
</rant>

Yeah, I have the track on my pc somewhere, listened to it once. If I'm not mistaken, it was at a concert at the recently downed Berlin Wall, with Pink Floyd playing. Sinead sang Mother at the same event and its pretty good...

Call me a fag, but I think Cyndi has a powerful voice. I heard her do True Colors live on Howard Stern's show one morning, and had NHO's for an hour.

anything by William Shatner

mmmmm.....Shatners's covers fall into the 'they're so bad they're worth hearing' category.

***Threadkiller Alert***
 

I will mercifully euthanize this thread with the cringeworthy cover that cannot be topped. I'll further explain that DaughterofV actually thought this performer wrote this song. I don't know which hurt me more, her ignorance or my bleeding ears.
