Worst Cover Songs Ever Made

Post by SaturdayNightz »

Name the cover songs you wish were never made....here's a couple to start off.


Ozzy Osbourne - In My Life (Beatles cover)
Wilson Phillips - Go Your Own Way (Fleetwood Mac cover)
Marilyn Manson - Personal Jesus (Depeche Mode Cover)

+ anything that was a good song, and then changed into a dance/techno song.

Avril Lavigne(sp?) Chop Suey (System Of A Down Cover)

I have to admit though, it was funny!

Also, there's a whole album of Beatles songs done by dogs and cats. I guess they recorded various animal noises and determined the pitch of each and then mixed them to sound like Beatles songs. It sounds like a neat idea for a school project or something, but I can't believe that was actually given a proper release. My mom bought it from one of those CD clubs not knowing what it was.

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...

^I heard the recording of that and though it was brutal I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be a joke.

Does anyone remember when some metal band did a cover of Madonna's 'Music' and it was all over much music and shit.
Man, that was terrible.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

Worst cover EVER....Avril Lavigne-Fuel (originally done by Metallica). I listened to it and died a little inside.

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf
Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

Okay...Bowling For Soup- Summer Of '69 (Bryan Adams cover)

Hillary Duff- Our Lips Are Sealed (Go Go's cover) definitely

AFI- Head Like A Hole (NIN cover)

Never Heard Of It- Build Me Up Buttercup (umm...who DID originally sing this anyway? Far too many covers of this one...haha)

The Hippos- Always Something There To Remind Me (another one I've got no idea who originally did...hmm)

And the list goes on and on...

Oh yeah, didn't Korn cover some Pink Floyd? I think it was Korn anyway. Ehn, I didn't care for it. *shrug* Pink Floyd can never be duplicated. Never.

Oh here's another one. Some Rap group-Crazy train Original-Ozzy osbourne. Ozzy should never be covered by a rapper.

heh, avril covered american idiot too.

not that i think that belongs in here.
nor does basketcase.

chop suey was pretty bad though. it was meant as a joke anyways
you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know
