Bad covers?

What covers have you heard that make you cringe when you remember the original?

Personally, Metallicas cover of whisky in the jar has me banging my head against a wall everytime. But what covers do you really hate?

Megadeth - Battery

Ah, so it was Joss Stone who did it! I was wonderring....

*declares open season on Joss Stone*

It's an awful cover. She sings it all horribly and OTT pop princess-like.

Fell in love with a boy
fell in love once and almost completelaaaaaay
he's in love with the world
but sometimes these feelings
can be so misleadeeeeeeeng
He turns and says "are you alright?"
I said "I must be fine cause my heart's still beataaaaang"
He says "come and kiss me by the riverside, bobby says it's fine he don't consider it cheataaaaaang"

So annoying.

Limp Bizkit covering "Behind Blue Eyes" by The Who.

Alien Antfarm did a good job on "Smooth Criminal" IMO. And The Atari's weren't too bad with "Boys of Summer" by Don Henly.

Madonna- American Pie

one cover that is miles better than the original is The Futureheads - Hounds of love.

the original makes me cry its soo bad

I think we can all agree on Avril Lavigne's version of Chop Suey?

Maroon 5's version of Closer by NIN is really shit.

Agreed. Don't know why so many people had a problem with that, it was a great cover, really funny as well.

Bad covers...I saw Pink Floyd mentioned above, so Korn's cover of Another Brick In The Wall springs to mind. And Korn's cover of Metallica's One. Oh yeah and their cover of Cameo's Word Up.

Staind's cover of Bring The Noise by Public Enemy is also blood-curdling bad.

Lest we forget Staind's cover of Sober.

Yes, the Tool song.

Megadeth has never covered Battery......http://www.megadeth.com/sw_archive/07_30_04.html

Oh that was just a horrendous cover, AWFUL.

I heard a song once where Nirvana covered Led Zeppelin and it was pretty bad.. can't remember what song it was.

I havnt heared a cover of Nirvana aside from Heartbreaker, but that was thier first live recording at thier first show, so its not in the same league as an actually produced cover song.

Maroon 5 did a cover of Closer? Thats bloody disgusting.
