Exquisitely Awful Cover Songs

Nice kids! (At least they were in those days)

XOXO
 
Anything about to be sung by that prick who just won X-Factor. :disgust:
 
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds by William Shatner.

Whether John Lenon's song from the Sgt. Peppers LP was about a picture his son Julian brought home one day or about LSD this one has all the makings of a truly bad acid trip!

I've gotta say, G4's worse... *shudder*... Their voices just DO NOT work with rock songs.

No that's true, trying to cover a Freddie Mercury hit was a bad move. But at least these guys have a smidgin of talent. Steve is a decent singer, but the main reason he won was because Simon Cowell fiddled the computers that counted the votes. (The only possible explanation for such an abberation and staggering display of lack of taste on the part of the British public - it's a conspiracy I tell ya!)

I'll make a wee prediction now that Steve Beardie-Weirdy disappears just as fast as Michelle McManus did. She won the last Pop Idol and hasn't been heard of since. I suspect the reason for that is a rather shallow one. To suceed as a pop star you need to have looks that appeal to your target audience - as envy from your fellow sex and as a desireable shag by the opposite one. Michelle McManus doesn't. She's severely overweight. Shallow as hell I know, but I'm pretty certain it's true. It doesn't matter that she can outsing 99.999999999% of anyone on the planet and is otherwise very pretty. People won't buy her records because her physical image isn't appealing to the average record buyer. ( Listen to me talking as if I actually know something about music! :blaugh: ) I suspect one reason she won the competition is because of the sympathy vote. People wanted to prove to themselves that appearance really didn't matter, so they voted her on. I'm pretty sure that's the same reason why Rick Waller originally lasted longer in the first series than Darius Danesh. (Not to mention that he then made a complete twat of himself on Celebrity Fat Camp, when Harvey Walden nearly decked him.) Darius has more talent in one of his nuts than Rick Waller has in his entire body.

Unfortunately for Michelle, sympathy is a short lived thing. Once the public had salved their mass-conscience by voting her to win, they lost interest and she sank without trace. If I am right, I think it's desperately sad, but equally desperately predictable and Pete Waterman knew it, which is why he stormed out of the studio when she was announced as the winner.

I think a similar curse is going to send Steve back to Simon Cowell's arms, crying into his contract. The huge majority of shallow record buyers are young people. To be an average-half decent singer and sell lots you've got to appeal to them by having good looks, a good figure and charm their knickers off and Steve doesn't because he's bordering on early middle-age and has the world's worst taste in facial fuzz. He looks like a rat that's had a curtain rod jammed in it's arse and been used as a dishmop. (Hark at Brad Pitt's body-double here!) There is certainly a more discerning (and probably more intelligent) market of record buyers who're older, but Steve isn't good enough to appeal to them. I think at best he can look forward to 4-6 months of semi-fame, then he'll disappear. Sadly, Simon Cowell's smug fucking face won't go with him. The man is like herpes, you just can't get rid of him.


Jim - Who just LOVES that scene in Scary Movie3!
 
Imagine if the Cowardly Lion from "The Wizard Of OZ" was castrated...that's what this lady sounded like. Her name was Mrs. Miller and she did extremely awful cover versions of the hits of the day back in the 60's. If you have a Windows Media Player you'll be able to hear a portion of a track from each of her albums here. The funniest thing about her music isn't her singing...it's the fact that she believed she was a great singer. Judge for yourself...

Great thread! Keep 'em coming!

Here's one: Cyndi Lauper doing Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On".

Anything by Michael Bolton. Just reinforcing a voiced opinion...

Huey Lewis doing the Impressions' "It's All Right". As awful a cover as I've ever heard. Oh, and Huey Lewis doing Smokey's "Cruisin'", a duet with Gwyneth Paltrow, of all people. Yecch!

Peter Frampton doing Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, and Delivered."

The Bette Midler version of "Wind Beneath My Wings" is enough to give you dysentery just from hearing it...😛
 
This guy was a human acid trip. He took a song from the 1920s or 30s and made it his own... I can't picture it sounding any other way now. You'll be able to hear his "music" if you click on 'music'at the top of the page. Next you'll select an album and be taken to Amazon.com, where you can hear a portion of a song. Click on the 'listen to music' balloons and enjoy!

I'll give you one hint as to who this is... he got married on "The Tonight Show" in 1969. Heeeeeeerrrrreeeeeeeee's Tiny!(Okay, TWO hints)

If you scroll down the page you can hear the aforementioned song, plus songs by Leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock), Andy Griffith, Sebastian Cabot, Jim Nabors oh, do I need to go on! These were a real waste of recording studio time.

Hey, Bill Shatner RULES! His new cd "Hasbeen" is awesome!

Unfortunetly though, I've heard Mrs. Miller. Imagine a tone-deaf Aunt Bea(from The Andy Griffith show) singing operatic versions of pop songs. YIKES😱 :shake:

I remember hearing a heavy metal band called Armored Saint do a version of Skynyrd's "Saturday Night Special" back in the 80s. Pretty awful-sounding.

Hey, how about "Respect Yourself", a perfectly good soul song by the Staples Singers utterly ruined by Bruce Willis? Now that was the classic sound of a train wreck if ever I heard one. And TklDuo-Drew, who is that voluptious barefoot lady in you latest signature? Very sexy soles there...

In the words of Johnny Carson to his sidekick Ed McMahon, after Ed recorded an album, Johnny told him, "I'm going to make a citizen's arrest on your tonsils." That's what I would have told Bruce Willis.

That lovely lady in TklDuo's signature looks like the late Mama Cass, of The Mamas And The Papas fame.
 
Right you are....that's the lovely "Mama" Cass Elliott. Always wondered how ticklish those soles were.

Who'd ever have thought a ham sandwhich could be fatal...
 
no ones mentioned..Jessica Simpsons..Take my breath away. horrible! i cant watch TOP GUN now, cause when that song plays i hear her voice screeching through the background..well okay..i can watch TOP GUN..my all time fave movie! minus some corny lines *cough* you can be my wingman anytime *cough*
 
🙄

"Save The Last Dance For Me" by the DeFranco Family. I'd wager that, when Ben E. King heard this one, he probably wished he were dead along with Rudy Lewis.
 
I know I don't have to tell you the look on my face when I saw Devo on 'Saturday Night Live' doing the Stones' 'Satisfaction' with those stupid hats they used to wear...
 
I hated that song first time round~UGH!

XOXO

Personally I thought that song was well done. The problem is that she tried to do Robbie Williams as well (one of his songs I mean... sick puppies...). No, no, no, no, just... no, no.
 
I thought of a doozy......from the Elton John tribute disc "Two Rooms"....

The Who's version of "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting".

This is so pathetic, they actually change the line "I can sink a little drink and shout out "she's To LAY!" to "I can sink a little drink and shout out "she's with ME!"

Anytime I hear Kenny G and his 'saccharine saxophone", I thank God that radios have off buttons. Louis Armstrong's version of "What A Wonderful World" is so endearing to me. First of all, Louis was my late Grandfather's favorite musician. Secondly, I always need to wipe away a tear when I hear the song because it touches me so.

Now I cry for a far different reason. Kenny G, through the 'magic' of studio technology, was able to do a version of Louis' song, with Louis doing the vocals. (Even though he's been in Jazz Heaven since 1971) Louis Armstrong was a Jazz master... Kenny G isn't worthy enough to empty Louis' trumpet's spit valve.
