His rendition of 'Common People' by Pulp is quite good.

3foot, It depends on who's under those covers.

mmmmm.....Shatners's covers fall into the 'they're so bad they're worth hearing' category.

I will mercifully euthanize this thread with the cringeworthy cover that cannot be topped. I'll further explain that DaughterofV actually thought this performer wrote this song. I don't know which hurt me more, her ignorance or my bleeding ears.

Click here AT YOUR PERIL to hear Britney Spears' desecration of (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.

Sacrilege.

So awful it's kinda good.

The Residents' 1986 cover of Hank Williams' "Kaw Liga":

The bass line is from "Billie Jean". Williams was once married to a woman named Billie Jean.

If we turn the volume down, I'd rather stare at Britney than Mick

You have a lot of company.

Quote:

In May 2000, Britney Spears covered "Satisfaction" on her album Oops!... I Did It Again. At the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards, Spears performed a medley of the aforementioned album's title track and "Satisfaction". She began by singing "Satisfaction" in a suit, but soon she stripped off the suit in favor of much more revealing attire beneath and began singing "Oops", displaying a more provocative image than she had before. In response to criticisms of her "striptease", Spears said: "I just wanted to look really sparkly and fun. I'm not the kids' parents. I can't tell them what to do, I just go up and do my own thing."

Particularly cringe-worthy cover:

Yeeeeaah, no.

Seeing that name next to the thread title just brought back a whole lot of memories. It was JMcG that introduced me to the Cellar very nearly ten years ago.
