I just listened to that enter sandman cover and it was terrible. There has to be a law against this kind of stuff. |

well this particular dj is known for being very passive, so unlike Rikker (another dj on the station, who would have chewed her out) the guy just told her that it was originaly done by the kinks back in the 60's and that was it. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 144 Joined: 3 Jan 2009    | Any cover of Personal Jesus that's not the original. (It is the brainchild of Depche Mode and only Depche Mode. Anybody who says otherwise is wrong and shall be punched in the face.) And Madonna's hack job on American Pie. Of course, this thread has introduced me to many more musical horrors. |

No disrespect to Jeff's (definitive) version, but the reason it got so much exposure during Christmas is because it was the x factor single. Personally i like alexandra burke's cover, because of the bombastic, over the top production; though Jeff's version is the definitive in my eyes ( ears?) |

I'm backing you up on that. Any song that can reduce me to tears is a good song, even a cover. NIN origional is almost on par with the Cash cover, but the ending just ruins the mood. |

OMG IMMA KILL U!! jk, you're opinion, no need for apologies :P |

Dear God. I thought the Barry Manilow cover was bad. I rarely call any woman by this word, as it is a very harsh, vulgar word, but Ashley Tisdale is a bitch for taking the brilliance of Rick Astley (I'm exaggerating, of course, but bear with me) and completely violating it. At least Barry had the good graces to keep it somewhat retro. |
Paperboy  Posts: 22 Joined: 3 Jan 2009    | Razorlight - Fairytale of New York. I'd find a YouTube link but it's dead for me right now. It's the most emotionless self-appreciating wreck of a song I've ever heard. Such a shame, the original by The Pogues was fab. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2373 Joined: 29 Oct 2008    | Avril Lavine's (not even going to pretend I know how to spell it) cover of Chop Suey by System of a Down. I mean, as far as they go, Chop Suey isn't even a great in my opinion, but her cover is worse than a long, painful drawn-out death. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 413 Joined: 26 Dec 2008  | i think that manford mans earth band covering "blinded by the light" is horrible. it completely changes the tone and meaning of the song, not to mention removing more than half the lyrics. the worst part is that most people dont even realize its a bruce springsteen song. o yeah and i forgot about everlast covering "folsom prison blues" its so bad its kinda funny. |

I just looked it up on youtube. I need a mirror to see if my fingerprints are visible on my face now, from facepalming SO HARD. |

Agreed.
Agreed. The only versions of that song I'll listen to are Dylan's and Hendrix's. Listening to that might actually make me start cutting myself, and I'm as far from emo as possible.
I know. The worst part was them changing the word "deuce" (as in car) to "douche". |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 575 Joined: 20 Dec 2008   | A lot of the stuff that plays in malls at Christmastime is horribly mutilated Christmas carols. I once heard a horrible cover of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in which the vocals were ripped straight from the original, and the chorus was pretty much played over and over with a generic drum beat in the background. |

I actually think "Never gonna give you up" is an good song by itself (excluding the stupid rickroll phenomenon) but THIS. THIS is what kills babies and rapes ladies. User was banned for: Why do Many Girls take Pictures of Themselves?. (Permanent) |

Good song. Though I heard it on Emmerdale once. (Why?!) Leona Lewis' hysterical demolition of Snow Patrol's Run however. Biggest turd that I heard last year. People cried when it was on Live Lounge. But they sadly didn't cry at how astronomically shit it was. |

And the other way around, as well. |

What did the dj say as a response to that? I'm interested if he totally ridiculed her or not.
