Cover us in shit

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.

Under the Bridge by All Saints. Takes everything good about the original and fucks it in the eye.
