Worst Cover?
Is this the worst cover of a song you ever heard?

Warning - It will most likely make your ears hurt, but it's funny as hell.

I can't vouch for that being the worst cover ever, as I haven't listened to it.
I do know that the worst I have ever heard is Six Feet Under's version of AC/DC's Back In Black album. While I should have known better, their cover of Thin Lizzy's Jailbreak is actually pretty good.

They can afford to smash kitchen appliances, but they can't afford a belt for that one guy?
I was all set to produce this link to trump whatever your link was, but after seeing yours there's no contest. Yours wins hands down.

Yeah, that's pretty bad too, but those cheerleaders are really hot! They kinda make it worth it.

The worst cover version I've ever heard is Lenny Kravitz's version of "American Woman". He took one of the most driving rock songs in history and stripped any sense of power or groove out of it. It's so bland, it's offensive.

It's also not Unkle Kracker. It's the lead singer of Smashmouth.
Now I wonder how much they got paid to sully their names and be in a video such as this?
THAT was bad. Bad enough to watch and enjoy, though. But, damn, those guys can't sing. I guess some group had to pick up where LFO left off.

Def Leppard should be ashamed for giving them the rights to record it.

come on.
The Wallflowers cover of Hereos wasnt bad at all.
10,000 maniacs Becaue The Night wasnt bad either.
The others I cant say that for.
how bout Limp Bizquicks Faith (true not a great song to begin with,but at least fun to sing when no ones listening) and didnt he just do another remake? was it Behind Blue Eyes? Im not sure, probebly wrong.
from the horrid movie Gothika or am I confused?

Durst also did a cover of 'Wish You Were Here' at one of the 9/11 telethons... I think that was the worst cover I've ever heard in my life (followed closely by his others).

Yes. I remember when this song came out and it was on the radio *ALL THE TIME*. I'm admit i'm not much of a Lenny fan, but i knew he completely ruined that song.

Oh well, perhaps there should be a book called The Dylan Code.

Not a big fan of Lisa Loeb's cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Go Your Own Way". She's good with the sweet and melancholy love songs but it's a really driving, pissed off song (Lindsay Buckingham wrote it as a kiss-off to ex Stevie Nicks) and the slowed down sing-songy way she does it completely defeats the impetus of the song.
