Bad cover versions

[Blue_eyes]

Someones trying too hard to be clever with that.

I didnt watch the vid just linked it so dont judge me, but if I remember correctly from when it was played on the radio they even added a wank lyric ffs.

This one's so bad they cranked up the Casio drum beat to try and drown out the rest of the song ...

The thing is, everyone thinks the Joan Jett one is the original. That's a cover, too

 

[beehive_bob]

They did a few decent tunes but this was just plain wrong

It’s at this time of year a truly turgidly slow version of a classic gets murdered in the name of a John Lewis, or similar, advert. Usually, it’s something to do with Ellie Goulding.

Ellie Goulding.

Ed Sheeran with a "foo foo"

There's an ad with a cover version of a Carpenters song showing occasionally. Think it's Lloyds Bank but I have to reach for the mute button as soon as it comes on so not 100%. It's really awful.

Seems I'm not the only one judging by Google. Hear for yourselves ...

All the Shatner ones are great

Unrivalled.
Telly Savalas, tried but never reached his greatness.

 

[Barcon]

I prefer it to the kiddie fiddlers version.

 

[TCIB]

Toto - Africa

Got butchered in that daft Aquaman film. I hope the rapper who did that gets an electric eel stuffed down his pisshole once a day for the rest of eternity.

Original...



Bastardized version...

Steady on now.

One for the jury. I think it's a winner but......

That's a great version of the song.

Frank Sinatra was a legend of his era but he should have skipped this.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Bastid! You beat me to it.
I hate what Oasis did with this 1960s Mike Flowers classic.

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

I hate this.
I know it’s a Leonard Cohen song but I compare anyone’s version of it to Jeff Buckley’s emotional portrayal.

This is overblown drivel no matter how good a voice she has.

It was worth it just for the video.

Me too, never a big fan of tkf to be fair.
