So, is it the Worst Cover Ever? (Time out:0 days after 10-06-2003, 11:29)

No, I can think of worse

You can't take the Shatner stuff seriously. I'm sure he didn't.

Some more:

"Dream On" covered by Eminem in his usual fashion. Yech.

"Funkytown" cover by Psuedo Echo. Pointless.

I like the Dixie Chicks version of "Landslide".

Every ear-raping work of covered bastardry by Gun'n'Roses.

I think it's appropriate that the flabby ginger gobshite who fronts them chose, as a name, an anagram of "oral sex". He certainly sounds like he's coughing up a pube'n'jizz hairball.

I cen't believe Imran takes the word "Dixie Chicks" even in his mouth

I don't know most of these covers, but imagining Brittney Spears singing Satisfaction or this English featureless-face pop idol something with "light my fire" are enough to not let me sleep tonight.

I have to say that I agree with Gunkulator about the Shatner stuff. It's a joke now, and it was a joke when he made it. A lot of these other covers are serious and that's way worse.

For my part, I love this place for hating a few guys which actually results difficult for me in real life. I guess I'm pretty empathic, but once I come to know something I can get to some understanding for most people, from "lower class loser not knowing anything better than becoming Neonazi-soccer-fan" to "idealistic young man who never had to work or see people suffer but thinks with his voluntary social work he'll change the world".

at Poly, I can just hate people, although even here only a few religious zealots and trolls.

"How about some really good covers? Viva Las Vegas by Dead Kennedys?"

I've got a compilation CD of covers done by punk bands, called "All Covered in Punk"...this is the only good one on it. In fact it's the only one that's not complete rubbish, from what I can remember.

Uncle Cracker covering Drift Away by Dobie Gray is f***ing awful.

What's worse is the fact that Dobie Gray is also singing.

you guys aren't going to like this probably, but for a good cover I like Marylin Manson's Sweet dreams. Although the original was damn good. The song's are so different you really can't compare them.
