Some of the Worst Cover Songs Ever Recorded

2trebleclefsIt is very popular for bands to do cover songs, whether they are big music stars doing them or local cover bands. For all the good cover songs there are also some very bad ones, both local cover bands and big stars in the music industry have been known on numerous occasions to butcher many good songs. These are some of the worst covers I have ever heard and seen from unknowns and stars, so please enjoy and I hope your ears don’t bleed too much after hearing them.

Russian Band covering The Beatles – Let it Be
Here is an interesting one from Russia with Love….

Madonna covering American Pie
Worse than you could imagine…

Sheryl Crow covering Sweet Child O’ Mine
Another classic butchered

Celine Dion covering AC/DC
And another….This is just awful, I am not a fan of hers anyways, even though she is good singer for what she does, but this is just horrible.

Kid Rock doing Bad Company – Feel Like Making Love

The Jonas Brothers – Take on Me

Here is a very, very bad cover of The Final Countdown by some unknown band. These guys should just give music up period.

While we’re on the subject, Reel Big Fish’s cover of “Take On Me” is absolutely atrocious. How can anyone possibly listen to that garbage?

No mention of snoop dogs cover of riders on the storm, nothing is worse then that.

“vords of visdom”! w replaced w v would make it perfect!
some asshole drummer I met a few years ago wanted me to learn sweet child of mine ala sheryl crow so he could jam w some zoot he knew, fuck that.
the final countdown reminds me of the 2nd stage at spac, lol I hope not!
also, the best worst ever cover- just found this last night, looking for some death metal covers of sabbath songs and couldn’t help but watch this twice- Iron man on accordian- sabbath shanty sabbath!
