It's what happens when rap "musicians" get hold of anything...  Other covers which ruin the original songs include G4's cover of Bohemian Rhapsody, and Amy Winehouse's cover of I heard it on the grapevine, Mr Gaye's cover is closer to CCR's.

No, the worst cover Evah!!Clicky....If You DareAnd just to redress the balance...... Ahhh...Much Better_________________The Official "Saucy Minx"  This above all: To Thine Own Self Be True "Red sky at night, Shepherds Delight"..Which is a bit like Shepherds Pie, but with whipped topping instead of mashed potato.

Gaaaaaahhhhh! It's hurts soooo much! Ahhh, that's better... Covers are rarely fantastic, some covers which I think are quite cool are the Madness covers of lola and one or two others...

Disturbed's version of Phil Collins' "Land of Confusion is probably one of the best covers I've heard, but most of them are pretty bad.
Fluff daddy's cover of the Police's "Every breath you take" is a crime!

The worst cover of all time is Madonna's version or American Pie. She should have been shot for crimes against music for that one!

Sorry to say it Zippy, but that's not totally hideous.
Alex' link on the other hand......
That's what happens when the yoof happen. These bunch of London kids born between 85 and 90 who are the same age as everyone buying their shash. Grime can mean something and be good if well done - much like any other genre. However, in this case, it's all about the dollar dollar bill y'all.

I think the worst part about is that they seem to have just gone and bought the karaoke version...I swear the backing is the same... I can't stand groups that can't play their own instruments...
