Thumb Down Worst cover versions ever
Inspired by the Pavarotti thread.....

Are there any covers as bad as Madonna's truly horrible version of "American Pie"?

I would like to draw your attention to Katie Melua's cover of "Lilac Wine".....
Girl Aloud's "I Think We're Alone Now" has to be up there.....
Will Young and Gareth Gates warbling version of "The Long And Winding Road".....
in fact, has there ever been a good Beatles cover?
David Bowie's weird and wonderful version of "Alabama Song" is almost unlistenable....

Lets hear your thoughts.

Kristen Hersh's version of Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my monkey, Pixies' version of Wild Honey Pie, Breeders' version of Happiness is a Warm Gun, Tanya Donelly's version of Long Long Long...

Ooh, and that awful bastardised soulless Westlife version of the Extreme song "More Than Words". And pretty much everything on their swing album.

Every band that has ever attempted 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' by Joy Division has failed miserably.

Especially my old band at our first gig.

Apparently....

No, actually truthfully.

I actually like Thrice's cover of 'Eleanor Rigby' but that's probably just me.

As far as bad covers go, Thursday's version of "Ever Fallen In Love' by the Buzzcocks takes some beating. Unless of course you're Crazy Town...
