Worst Cover Versions of All Time

[onwardjames]

How about VH's version of Pretty Woman? Actually about half the Diver Down record was covers - most poorly done. Dancin in the Streets at least has some VH flair...Pretty Woman was just blah.

To me, "Little Guitars" and "Secrets" save that album. Two very good tunes nobody ever mentions.

Tutti Frutti, good booty. Pat Boone covering Little Richard. Talk about clueless.

Actually that was the only way Little Richard could get on Mainstream radio with lame cover versions.

Jesus, that's horrid.

I made it 1 minute in. Couldn't deal with the histrionics.

Sadly, many young persons will laud that as the second coming of Dusty Springfield.

Cum On Feel The Noise - Only Slade did it right.

Any Jazz covers of Beatles music.

"Am I not your Girl"

A entire CD of Sinead O'Connor doing jazz standards really BADLY! Made a copy for a friend and she read me the riot act for inflicting it on her. Never know what you're gonna get with Sinead -sometimes great and sometimes not so..... Every tune on this CD has been covered ??? times - her versions are just awful.

just a couple
"Smells Like Teen Spirit", Tori Amos, or anyone who tries it for that matter.
"Sweet Child 'O Mine", Cheryl Crow

Shatner's Lucy in the sky with diamonds is legendary (for being hilarious and god awful)
