Following on from Paps excellent “cover us in glory” thread I thought I’d gauge your opinion on the worst covers.
This is the worst cover I can think of , whoever thought this was a good idea should have been shot.

I mentioned my dislike of Blondie’s cover of The Tide Is High on Pap’s thread. One cover I hate even more than that is Jimmy Somerville’s horrible, crass rendition of Don’t Leave Me This Way. He takes a heart-wrenching soul classic, raises the tempo, gives it a bouncy speudo-disco beat, with the result being a distinctly happy-sounding song. I’m not going to post a link to it because I hate it too much to even look it up.
Oh, and anything by Paul Young. I also hate his shitty covers too much to link to them.
This also takes some beating , It’s so shit why would they even do this , take an absolute classic and take the piss.
