Didn't Celine Dion take the crown in a recent poll, for her Las Vegas cover of an AC/DC tune?

Every MC from the Netherlands is exactly the same

PICTURE yourself...

On a BOAT...

On a RIVER...

Surely William Shatner's version of 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds' coupled with his 'interesting and creative' version of 'Hey, Mr Tambourine Man' takes the prize?

Although I'd also give a mention to Leonard Nimoy's 'Ballad Of Bilbo Baggins' as well.

 

[Weller]

Apache - the original was bad enough so why did they do this,,,,

 

[ViolentPanda]

Paul Young's g-dawful cover of "Love will tear us apart".

Yeah but he redeemed himself with his version of Common People with Joe Jackson....

This cover makes me want to laugh or kill, I'm not sure which.

 

[Sweaty Betty]

According to google its celine dion's ACDC cover of "you shook me all night long".....

cant even bring myself to listen to it

I'd say that's the BEST cover version!

 

[Weller]

talking of bad cover versions I thought Jervis Cockers "Bad Cover Version" video where he used a bunch of no talent lookalikes to recreate a charity single was pretty much the mutts nuts ......


Not too sure if they got the joke though .

 

[Winston Legthigh]

This cover makes me want to laugh or kill, I'm not sure which.

She even changes the line to "Hope I don't die before I get old"

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

I kinda hope she does.....

Surely they're genius for ironic value alone?

Any cover that doesn't try to fuck up the original in some way, shape or form is criminal in my book.

Covers are best when you spunk on their faces.

Otoh, the best cover song ever, imo.

That was an amazing documentary. The version of Coldplay's "Fix You", of all things, was remarkably moving.

Yeah, I agree about the documentary. A great song by them is I Wanna Be Sedated, but it looks like there were copyright probs: it's gone from Youtube.

Wassapoint of singing the song if you despise the very sentiment at the heart of it???
