    Was driving the other week and accidentally left the radio on instead of my iPod. On comes the latest tune by Lupe Fiasco, and it sounded more than a tad familiar...

    Then while in a shop at the weekend this absolute disgrace was being played...

    :eek: Scarred for life twice in the space of a fortnight.

    What other songs have you heard 'getting the treatment'?

    That 2nd vid is especially painful due to the irritating auto-tuning yokey. Ugh.

    While I agree that McCoy's usage of it is atrocious, Lupe uses the sample fantastically I think.

    Joe Dolan covering Oasis' Live Forever left me in a cold sweat. I think he did Cigarettes and Alcohol too...

    However his cover of The Universal had a certain charm to it.

    As did his version of Beautiful Ones.

    Kid Rock's All Summer Long has ruined Warren Zevon's Werewolves Of London for me.

    I remember hearing the Fall Out Boy lead covering Love Will Tear Us Apart. Needless to say it didn't go well...
