Undoubtedly the worst remake of any song I have ever heard........

    Yeah, hard to trash her for the video.

    All covers of Big Yellow Taxi suck. But so does the original, so you can't really blame them.

    There was a pretty shit cover of In Your Eyes a few years ago, but I forget who did it.

    It's not a horrible song on its own merits, but Ryan Adams' cover of Wonderwall still pisses me off. Sounds pretentious, detached to the point of ironic and nowhere near as good as the original. Apparently Wonderwall gets a lot of cover treatment.

    God help me, but I like Keane's cover of With or Without You.

    Annie Lennox: Whiter Shade of Pale. :-X

    Almost threw up the first time I heard it.

    The "In Your Eyes" cover was done by a nobody - Jeffery Gaines. And yes, it sucked.

    I believe the country version of Piece of My Heart was done by Faith Hill. I also believe it sucked dead donkey dicks.

    But how could we have gone this far without listing Britney Spears' Satisfaction?

    (Oh, because no one wants to admit to having heard it.)

    That's what I get for listening to my teenage daughter's iPod on Shuffle.

    Spears' version of "Satisfaction" exceeds in badness Justine Bateman's version of "Satisfaction"

    video is not from the movie of the same name that Bateman sang it in.. http://imdb.com/title/tt0096037/

    I didn't read the thread, but some asshole country band covered "You Shook Me All Night Long."

    Fuck those guys, whoever they were.

    I think it is tremendous.

    Shania Twain did, and it is really, really bad. Maybe it was Shania and Celine Dion; I forget. But it was demonstrably, provably, real bad.

    You'd think having Shania Twain do jumping jacks while the house band covers AC/DC would be pretty good, but it wasn't.

    I don't care if Mutt Lange is married to Shania, he should never allow that.
