Horrible Covers Thread

[Robin Hood]

I don't know if this has been done before, but here goes.

I was relaxing today, dusting off the old Oasis collection, namely, What's the story album. I was having musical orgasms to Champagne Supernova when the thought occurred to me to Wiki the track and see what it says about it.

Well, low and behold there is a section where it names all the artists that have covered the track. One caught my eye.

The Urban Cookie Collective covered this track and tried to release it as a single. I say tried as Noel Gallagher didn't give them permission and they had to to scrap it. Intrigued was I, so I went to YouTube and found it.

Fuckin' horrendous! No surprising Noel got that binned!

It really is that bad. I made it to about half way. Judge for yourself.



Any one else know of really, really bad covers?

Let's hear 'em!

[Anna Key]

Devo covering Satisfaction was pretty dire.

i just listened to it , and it doesn't sound as bad as i remember it.First time i heard it was about 3am driving across OK in a truck.
Its still pretty much crap tho

[Robin Hood]

^ It's the vocals for me....Pretty bad!

[fred flintstone]

exactly. if they'd shut up it'd be pretty good. The song requires a mick jagger or at least a steve tyler, not people strung out on downers or acid
