Mix | The worst cover songs of all time
Published: Tuesday, January 16, 2007 - 6:00 am
By Mario Villanueva MUSIC GUY music@UpstateLink.com One of the worst smells in the world is cruising down the road and hearing the opening notes of a song that you love, from an artist you respect, only to realize that you've been humming and snapping to a pale rendition of the original that's been coldly marketed to your age group. Now in the defense of these 12 stinking piles of Milwaukee's Best, if you can't discern these mutant offspring from the original then perhaps you deserve your fate.
Jessica Simpson, These Boots Are Made For Walking
Duran Duran, 911 Is A Joke
Puff Daddy, Come With Me
Michael Scott, Your Body Is A Wonderland
Limp Bizkit, Behind Blue Eyes
Britney Spears, Satisfaction
Michael Bolton, Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay
Guns & Roses, Live And Let Die
Hillary Duff, Our Lips Are Sealed
Kelly Osbourne, Papa Don't Preach
Motley Crue, Anarchy In The UK
Biz Markie, Bennie & The Jets
I pretty much agree with the list except Guns n' Roses. I actually liked their version of Live and Let Die.

Live and Let Die is a pretty good cover. Most of those songs are bad. I like the original version of 911 Is A Joke.

911 Is A Joke - did the Durans record it in that manner to see how many people they could piss off?
I know John has stated that he loves the song - but why record it in that manner??

Yeah, I'm surprised to see GNR on there.
While the 911 is a Joke isn't my favorite song on Thank You, it's not my least favorite either.

I think Guns & Roses did justice to Live And Let Die, but I agree with the others on the list, especially 911 is a joke. I actually like a lot of cheesy music, but not once have I been able to listen to it all the way through. It just makes me want to hurl.

I too really like Guns & Roses version of Live and Let Die, not as much as the original but I think they did a good job.
