Bard · 24-08-2000 9:23am

If you're looking for the 'worst ever cover'...

what about that cover of Oasis' "Wonderwall" by I-dont-remember-who-the-fu<k-they-were ...?

or Tom Jones cover of Little Green Bag ...?

Awful sh|te.

That song is what made Limp Bizkit famous! It's a fairly kickin' version of it too

The Mike Flowers Pops maybe?
A silly tune to say the least - I think it belonged in an Austin Powers film

However, the Award for Worst Cover Version in History goes to...

All Saints - Under the Bridge!

WHAT A LARGE PAIR OF TROWSERS THAT SONG IS!!!

All the best,

you know all those Bob Marly covers/samples
that came out earlier this year omg where do ppl get off

ye it has to be Limb Bizkit with George Michaels 'Faith', I hated the original as im no George Michael fan but this is even worse

/me sulks with no slipknot concert now but why the cancellation

FreaK_BrutheR · 24-08-2000 2:59pm

Fuzzbox - Bohemian Rhapsody... what a cover! gotta be one of the best.

Loadsa those noisy talentless fu(ks like limp bizkit do cover versions for teenage angst ridden wee'uns who think saying "umf,blah,grrr,roar fu(k britney" in a cacophonous rendition of the classic "Lucky" is hilarious. What can i say? I'm an old man now and don't understand this new-fangled popular music culture.

Direct all flames towards me ballix.

Haven't heard Bizkit's version of Faith so can't comment... as regards All Saints... I TOTALLY AGREE, KHARN, BOYO!!! GOOD CALL!!!

Ticketmaster still haven't told me why the concert's been cancelled (1 week after I sent them a mail asking).

All the best,

I just heard from my friend who got his ticket refunded in HMV.. he asked the woman why was concert stoped and she said that the National Catholics Parents got it banned and that slipknot are banned for good from Ireland.

Worst cover: William Shatners Hey Mister Tambourine Man. If i wasnt laughing so hard id shudder.

Say hello to my little friend !!!

Lenny Kravitz's version of American Woman is brutal.
Oh and on the Star Trek note, anyone else ever see Leonard Nemoy singing a song on one of those funny clip shows? ,that was hilarious.

Shiminay · 26-08-2000 12:48am

I rahter liked Lenny Kravitz's version of American Woman - different from the original, obviously, but quite good.

All the best,

Anyone hear britney spears version of "I cant get no satisfaction" I nearly cried when I heared it ,I thought my friend was takeing the **** when he said she had done a cover of it on her album.
Arnie wouldnt have looked so cool in "raw deal" if britney was singing in the back-round.

O man it's total grid-lock.

I'm afraid no one can reach the level of depravity of Rolf Harris version of "Stairway to Heaven".

I still have nightmares.

TwoShedsJackson · 28-08-2000 8:20am

The song Space Cowboy mentions, 'The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins' is indeed one of the worst songs ever - however it isn't a cover as far as I know, and it's also so bad it's actually good

I don't know who the band are, but there's a horrendous cover of The Sundays 'Can't Be Sure' knocking around - it seems somewhat fashionable lately to update 80's indie classics by giving them a $hitey dance beat.

cillian_burger_queen · 31-08-2000 9:28pm

i'd have to say a1 cover of a-ha take on me. the original was quite catchy, in an 80s retro sort of way. this new one just , well, boybandifies it
and by the way, im a teenager who doesnt like either britney pap or nu-metal
am i alone?

Excelsior · 01-09-2000 7:50am

no, you are not alone.
its just the ppl like you probably think they're great for appreciating toploader or radiohead and arent much fun to talk to.
i concur on the A1 thing. its the video that gets me. take on me was a real landmark video and this A1 thing once again uses crappy digital effects and a "storyline" involving ha><0r d00d5. classy!
