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!
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
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?

There's nowhere I can't reach. John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD. |

THEN DON'T SAY YOU FOUND IT LIKE YOU STUMBLED ACROSS IT.
BEST COVER EVER, THOUGH. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD. |
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
NOTHING OF IMPORTANCE. WE SHOULD JUST MOVE ON.

You're in the wrong thread Wojo. That is a shit cover of a boring song.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? I didn't say I wouldn't go fishin' with the man.
All I'm sayin' is, if he comes near me, I'll put him in the wall. |

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.
I'm taking over this town...
I'm screaming for vengenace... I'm shouting at the devil... I'm not dead and I'm not for sale... Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time... |

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

Hey guys have you guys heard of this guy called Gary Jules I like his cover "Mad World" I think it is much better than the original.
