What are the worst cover versions of songs. Maybe it's a song you love that's been butchered or maybe it's just a terrible version of a mediocre tune. I'll accept songs where it's a bit of a reworking/sampling but only if it's really prominent in the song.
I'll start with Abs from 5ive with his terrible reworking of 'Uptown Top Ranking' by Althea and Donna which was called What You Got'. |

Seen Catherine Jenkins murder Bryan Adams on Michael MacIntyre at the weekend. Howling!
David Guetta seems to have made a business model releasing 90's songs with 3 or 4 new lyrics and the chorus of the original - terrible.
Honorable mention to the woeful One Direction version of Blondie's One way or another.
The big winner though - Sugababes vs Girls Aloud, absolutely shredding Walk this way by Run Dmc and Aerosmith. Stinking! |

One name springs predominantly to mind when it comes to really BAD (but nonetheless hilarious) cover versions: Mr William Shatner…. Check out some of his inimitable renditions on YouTube, including his utter butchering of classics such as Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman) 😂👍🏻 |

"Also not a fan of Scissor Sisters version of Comfortably Numb, although I'm also not a big Pink Floyd fan in general 🤣 but Jake Shears vocals are painful to my ears "
I do like that version and I like Pink Floyd but don't like the Scissor Sisters |

These threads are naturally totally subjective. Someone will post a song and the next poster will inevitably say ‘dude, that was 100 times better than the original’.
But we don’t feel this thread would be complete without an honourable mention to Duran Duran‘s version of White lines.
It’s an ear bleeder !!!!
If you’ve never heard it, check it out. On second thoughts really don’t !!!! |

That whole Duran Duran covers album was a duck. A career low for sure. |

Somehow, they go through bad and arrive at hilarious. |

Madonna - American Pie
What on earth was she thinking?"
"My career's fucked already, so let's see how far down the shitter I can go?"
But later on, her appearance at Eurovision said: "Hold my beer..." |
