Covers so horrible you can't believe they exist...

[Madman Szalinski]

We all know those certain covers that unfortunately, we know exist and still hate. They're miserable and are blatant disrespect to the original artists and their songs. Two that immediately come to mind are Kid Rock's Sweet Home Alabama atrocity and Britney Spears' I Love Rock And Roll. (Feel free to include well-known cover attempts, as well. I was mainly aiming for obscure shit covers but all shit covers are welcome here.)

But there are some covers out there so God awful, so insane...that we don't even know they exist. And here is a perfect start to this topic...

My ears...they beg for me to plug them.

Limp Biscuit's cover of Behind Blue Eyes by the who.

I can handle Tarja in small doses but this is terrible.




Not as bad...but she still f***s up a great song.

[Arturo Classico]

This has to be the worst Bob Dylan cover I mean they totally f***ed up one of Dylan's best songs and made it into a shitty pop-punk song, somehow. I hate My Chemical Romance!

[ani]

The Beach Boys cover themselves...disco style!


Edit: I have no idea why the guy put the M.I.U. cover for his video. This is from the "Light Album"

["Playboy" Don Douglas]

I had an mp3 of a band called EyeQ covering "Last Caress" by the Misfits. It made me want to track down the band and flog them with a length of garden hose.

I can't link it now because I'm at work, but Sweet Child O' Mine covered by Sheryl Crow.

Maybe it's just cause i'm not that into Bob Dylan, Maybe It's the fact I love MCR, or maybe it's the fact that the song is actually good. Call me Crazy, but I actually like this song

Now, If Video Game Covers Count Then these 2 win by miles

However, If Only Real Hits Count, This Loses By Miles (Sorry FOB fans) And this...Good Guitar but bad vocals....Sorry *prepares to duck*

[Bo Rida]

Madonna's attempt at American Pie was painful.
All saints version of under the bridge was embarrassing.

Isn't this like.. a crime against humanity or something?

[The Lodger]

All of Scarlett Johansen's Album of Wait's covers.

[Magician under the moonlight]

But the real winner is....

[Pooh Carlson]

I thought Everlast's "Folsom Prison Blues" was the worst cover ever, then I saw the video. Now I KNOW this is the worst cover ever.

[waffleofpower]

I like the MCR cover too.

Worst has to be Atreyu's cover of "Epic". GUHHHHHHHHHHH. Simple Plan's "American Jesus" is awful too.

i'll up that with limp bizkit's cover of Home Sweet Home by motley crue

[lockedontarget]

Can the Kid Rock song really be called a cover? It's more of an extreme example of sampling. The actual lyrics are original. Same with "American Badass" using Metallica's "Sad But True".

[AFN: Judge Shred]

I really like the FOB 'beat It" cover

I feel like going to America and do Horrible Horrible things to her(Not in the good way.

As to the Topic. As much as i like Flyleaf, their cover of Smells like Teen Spirit from nirvana was pretty awful. She sounds like a goat at some points.
