Yes indeedy, list me the worst, most sacrilegious cover versions you’ve heard folks.
I’m throwing in Marc Almond’s cover of Frankie Valley’s, The Night. Eeeee by gum it was not good.
A double shame as I normally love Marc’s tone.
Mind you, he thankfully redeemed himself when he covered Gene Pitney 
Off thou go’eth  |

Any of those that there now seems to be a habit of using on TV adverts, usually but not limited to banks.... Where they take a classic song... Slow it right down, remove guitar bass and drums, and warble vocal octaves up and down doing that back of the throat singing.... The latest of which I noticed was "born to be wild"... Vomit... |

I’m presently watching a TV show called, The Secrets She Keeps - very engrossing it is to.
The intro song however, is a slowed down cover of Kylie Minogue’s, Can’t Get You Outer My Head.....and is exceptionally shite. |

Most covers are shite. There are exceptions but the originality and imagination of the song are lost on covers.
Someone mentioned Tainted Love by Soft Cell, I thinks that's one of the few great covers. It brings something different to the song. |

"Leona Lewis, cover of run, was a crime against humanity, that still gives me the shits,   "
This! She should never be allowed to sing again after that one. |
