When Good Tunes Go Bad

Xavi6

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'?

The Black Eyed Peas massacre of Dick Dale's version of Misirlou.

Celine Dion covering ACDC has gotta be the worst! Id post the link but I cant bring myself to inflict such torture on the people of Boards.....

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...

GoerGirl
