Great Covers of Otherwise Shitty Songs

This thread got me thinking, "Hey man! There's probably a lot of shitty songs that have actually been made better by covers!"

To prove this I set out to find a song that in its absolute amounts of corniness and complete lack of songwriting quality. The search didn't take long, as you can imagine but then the challenge became finding an artist who was, not only up to the challenge of covering said song, but also to improve it. One might say it's an easy task but some efforts really do fall flat on their faces.

However, I have found the greatest cover of a shitty song.

Ladies and gentlemen, behold!

Hurra Torpedo? I've been ranting about them for years, and you're only just NOW getting into this? I hate you, Breaner. I hate you.

Let's bring a little legitimacy to this thread, shall we?

Fuck YOU. I've had Kollossus of Makedonia for almost 2 years now. It's one of my favorite albums!

NOTHING OF IMPORTANCE. WE SHOULD JUST MOVE ON.

You're in the wrong thread Wojo. That is a shit cover of a boring song.

Better By You, Better Than Me is a mediocre song by Spooky Tooth, but kicks ass when played by Judas Priest.

Quiet Riot did a bang-up job on Cum on Feel the Noize, I have to say...I grew up with that song and I was surprised how much I hated the original.

I like the band Wolf's cover of Don't Fear the Reaper a lot and I wasn't a huge fan of the original at all.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

You know, you don't have to keep trying to convince us you have the shittiest taste in music on these forums. We believe you. You can try less.

This is probably the most memorable great cover of a shitty song in the past few years.

The synthesizers totally ruined the original for me. It's like it was meant for guitars.

Come on, Wolf kicks ass but that cover was mediocre at best. Same with their cover of Die by the Sword, pretty uninspired.
