Worst cover songs

[rayoflightboy]

I thought Dancing in the moonlight by Top Loader was bad.
Along comes the cover version.
My God it's awful.

For your listening pleasure

Westlife - You Raise Me Up

Atrocious

Roman Keating’s Fairytale of New York. Sacrilege.

*Ronan even

And whilst we’re at it Ronan Keating’s Father and Son!

@EnthusiasmIsDisturbed

David Bowie and Mick Jagger Dancing in the Streets it’s awful

Duran Duran White Lines. I felt embarrassed for them when they performed this live the rest of the concert was good

Madonna American Pie 😶 no words

This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen, and much better than their cover

Anastacia & Celine Dion attempting/butchering ACDC's You Shook Me All Night Long takes some beating

Undercover’s butchery Of Never Let Her Slip Away and Baker Street should have resulted in a prosecution.

Ellie Goulding’s absolute wanton destruction of Your Song. Elton’s hair is spinning in its grave.

Ellie Goulding singing Your Song makes me irrationally ragy (or maybe rationally ragy).

So many to choose from the same source, but this one is pretty bad...

I love Shining Light by Ash, but the Annie Lennox cover makes me want to rip her head off, then mine.

Ellie Goulding singing Your Song makes me irrationally ragy (or maybe rationally ragy).

Ellie Goulding singing anything is enough to make me run away screaming. I can’t bear her voice.

by The Mike Flowers Pops. My dad used to listen to it all the time until my mum ‘misplaced’ it. Part of me is hoping it’s a parody.

All of Westlife's bad karaoke.

Chris Evans used to play The Mike Flowers Pops version all the time on his radio show. He even started to get people to believe that it was the original and that Oasis just covered it.

Yes to the Kate Rusby cover, it’s been making my ears bleed for the last couple of weeks. She really ramps up the ‘folk’ with all the blimin ‘Moonday’ and ‘Soonday’ . Irritating in the extreme.

Mike Flowers Pop is definitely a parody. It makes me smile. And, bad though it undoubtedly is, I love William Shatner's Common People.

Can I offer up David Grey's appalling cover of Say Hello, Wave Goodbye?

@Glittertwins

I like the original and Disturbed's Sound of Silence. Which female butchered Sweet Child O' Mine? That was appalling.

Jasmine Thompson I think..I actually preferred her version (somehow never actually heard the original until after I heard the cover ).

The glee cast’s cover of the scientist is rather . I didn’t mind Johnny Cash’s cover of hurt.

I don’t mind the covers of mad world. Gary Jules’ is definitely the most emotion but I do sometimes tear up at the riverdale or Jasmine Thompson version . The tears for fears version is fucking awful.

Although Jasmine Thomson’s cover of Home was truly, truly awful.

@Judashascomeintosomemoney

That's her accent, she's from Barnsley 😂

Nothing to do with folk

Leona Lewis, Run. It doesn’t need to be a belter.

The original is beautiful and understated and no one dare cover Gary Lightbody!

Saying that, Alfie Boe does do it justice so 🤷‍♀️

My specialist subject!

Downtown by Mrs Miller.

Jailhouse Rock by Eilert Plarm.

YMCA by some Finish guy. Possibly too sexy for Mumsnet.

Big Girls Don't Cry by Edie and The Eggs.

@Mysterian thats brightened my Monday night no end😂😂😂

Florence & the machine you got the love.
Completely murdered a Candi Staton classic.

Westlife, uptown girl.

I mean it's not necessarily that bad but its not a patch on the original.

Jesus this is bad
