worst cover version in history!!

That's not a cover, it's an original composition titled "Knockin' on Heaven's Dow-Wow."

 

This is a pretty bad cover version of a kiwi classic:



The sad thing is, it's the exact same person who did the classic original version back in 1980!

Justin Beiber Imagine

 

I was listening to Elvis Costello's 'Kojak Variety' album this afternoon and his version of 'Days' reminded me of this thread.

 

Madonna's American Pie.

I heard an indie version of I Am The Walrus that was pretty awful too.

 

Foo Fighters' version of "Baker's Street" is absolutely wretched.

 

Did anyone mention The Jackson Five covering "Doctor My Eyes" yet?

 

Heroes - The Wallflowers

 

Related songs on youtube has just sent me here - good performance but so wrong for the lyrics you could almost believe they're doing it on purpose as a parody or ultra subversion.

Living Voices - Positively 4th Street

Makes it sound like it's about rainbows & lollipops.

 

Are you sure you're not thinking of Rufus Wainwrights version?

 

Maybe not a great version, but I don't think it's a bad one either.
I don't think it's bad at all.

 

Remember "Mambo #5"? Yeah, I'm afraid I do too. Anyway, Lou Bega continues (stupefyingly) to record. Here's the latest recording of his to ooze out his bedroom recording studio: a cover of KC & the Sunshine Band's "Give It Up!"



Ed

 

This guy was one of the first cover artists on YouTube.

 

Not sure why he didn't become a hit.

 

Shatner takes it to another level, everything he touched turned to gold.

 

Seriously? It's the best!
