I agree with the three people who mentioned "Our Lips our Sealed"

also,
Jessica Simpson feat. Willie Nelson - These Boots are made for walking.

Way to take a classic with a positive feminine message and turn it into a sexuality extravaganza.

I'm surprised no one mentioned A Perfect Circle's cover of Imagine. Personally, I don't mind it, but I know a lot of you hate it terribly.

[edited because I forgot Willie Nelson's name]

Sixpence None the Richer does a cover of the song. I think I died a little inside just mentioning it...

Yeah, and "Angels". Everytime she reaches that high note, I feel like throwing up.

Side note: what's with Jessica Simpson and cover songs?

Hopefully she's not too blonde to figure out all her cover songs suck and maybe she should give up "music" and acting for the rest of eternity...

I was wondering the same thing!

Brutus is an honorable man
It's just coincidence that oil men will wage war in an oil rich land
And this one goes out to my man taking cover in the trenches with a gun in his hand
Then gets home and no one flinches when he can't feed his fam...

But Brutus is an honorable man...
