Horrible covers of otherwise acceptable songs

Am at the brewery and the most idiotic cover of the song "The sound of silence" came on over the sound system. A bunch of roid-ed out turds who clearly masturbate in front of mirrors and go by the name of "Disturbed" covered it. It is such unlistenable pompous guff I want to punch several kittens in the ear. Take a listen below if you dare...and please add your own horrible cover of an otherwise acceptable song.

When I first saw this some tears back I was outraged anybody would dare cover one of my favourite songs. I clicked to listen, expecting to hate it. I was surprised out of my skin how much i loved it. The ominous rising power of the singer's voice, the control, the menace ... by the end of the song I had goosebumps.

So in the best traditions of people disagreeing in the GOT .... bed!

I love how you can hear one of her own fans saying "WHAT?!?!?!" when she starts singing.

"WAKE UP! ABSHSHSGDJSHGDJSHD MAKE UP!" lol

Truly shocking, although this also improves on the original ear shizzle in every conceivable way!

Consensus seems to be that its a decent cover @verreauxi. Maybe YOU'RE the problem

I am definitely a problem. I usually stay up long nights having to deal with myself. The song, however, is an abomination of all that is holy and could only be improved if there were a few well-placed slide whistle sounds, and a coda of sad trombone and kazoo. Maybe the chorus could have a few donkey brays as well.

Im sorry old bean, ive never heard that cover before and it wasnt bad im afraid.

Clearly not a patch on the original and hes a bit too try hard, but musically I cant complain.

Listen again, it’s a grower.

I don't think it does. At least "White Lines" had some fleeting relevance to Duran Duran. This was just bizarre.

Not even the worst cover version she's done.

It’s a good topic for a thread. This was the first thought that came to mind for me:

Arghhhhhh, his cover of Common People is possibly the greatest atrocity ever committed by man.

I dont know how, but this came up on my feed when I clicked 1 direction, so I can only thank them for that.

1988, sigh, take me back!

Baby I Don't Care was one of the first songs I ever bought (7" I think)!
