USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

Worst cover of my lifetime was Donna Summer discofying "MacArthur Park"

I liked the Weird Al version:

"Jurassic Park is frightening in the dark/all the dinosaurs are running wild"

Sublime seemed like a good choice to play today:

Early in the morning, rising to the street
Light me up that cigarette and strap shoes on my feet
Got to find the reason, reason things went wrong
Got to find the reason why my money's all gone
I got a Dalmatian and I can still get high
I can play the guitar like a mother f-cking riot

Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

Worst covers? The previous nominations were amateur hour. I give you:

Limp Bizkit - Behind Blue Eyes - The Who
Jessica Simpson - These Boots are Made for Walkin - Nancy Sinatra
Avril Lavigne - Imagine - John Lennon
Miley Cyrus - Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
Britney Spears - I love Rock N Roll - Joan Jett
Korn - Another Brick in the Wall - Pink Floyd
Hillary Duff - My Generation - The Who
Tom Jones - Kiss - Prince
Limp Bizkit - Faith - George Michael (which coincidentally leads to)

What might possibly be the worst cover ever (unless you live in a cave and neer heard the original):
George Michael - True Faith - New Order

Very honorable nominations, for sure. I'd put the LB "Faith" up there with the Crow/Madonna covers as worst ever. For me, what makes the Crow/Madonna covers the worst is the legendary status of the originals in the first place.

Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

My Generation, Another Brick in the Wall, Imagine, Behind Blue Eyes and Smells Like Teen Spirit qualify for legendary. I realize I'm fighting an unrelenting uphill battle of stubborn so we'll agree to disagree.

I will admit I haven't heard a couple of those covers (and even though it'd be for "research" I refuse to look up those covers). However, knowing your music knowledge, I do respect your submissions, and will give you a "bro-nod" on the horrible-ness of said covers.

I like Korn's version of Another Brick in the Wall, but it doesn't come close to the original. It was just interesting to hear a harder version of it.

The ones in red were links. Seriously you should listen to the George Michael cover of True Faith. It's hideous.

The others:

Behind Blue Eyes

Boots are made for Walking

Imagine

I Love Rock and Roll

My Generation

Another Brick in the Wall - this one truly offended me

Faith - this one is complete garbage

Kiss

Given your fondness for Jett I thought you'd find that one particularly hideous.

I have heard the Faith cover, and it's puke-worthy. It's not even a bad cover, it's no talent whatsoever. I'm divided on Jett, btw. Her stance on the (relatively) recent movies on the Runaways, one really good, one really bad, made me lose some respect.

When the metal band Shadows Fall or some such thing covered Welcome to the Machine, I nearly lost it. I was driving, so I had to hold it together. Why the hell 93x was on, I'll never know.

On the worst list I'd put Cascada - Because The Night and t.a.t.u. - How Soon Is Now.

Best list I'd add The Clash - Police On My Back.

Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

Nope, it's the Limp Bizkit Behind Blue Eyes. He couldn't even be bothered to learn what the lyrics actually were.

"But my dreams, they are descending".

Wha????????

 

[MissThundercat]

Nickelback did a lousy cover of Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting. Then again, anything Nickelback does will end up on a "worst of" list.

Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

Listening to Quuen's GH in the car. I thought back to the day when I was 9 and my best friend called me and said, "Come over I have your birthday present!" It was News of the World on vinyl, a Friday night and 2 days before I turned 10.

I bet we listened to the whole thing 2 or 3 times straight before his mom told us to get outside. Indian Summer was in full force still so she wanted us to enjoy what was left. After dinner we went back to his room and listened again and again until we fell asleep.

Although from a different record it gave me great pride during that car ride to hear the boys singing Fat Bottomed Girls word for word.

You did good. One of my favorite songs by them.

I love that song, and Nickelback ruined it. I was especially salty about that cover when it briefly replaced the HNIC theme on CBC after the debacle where they lost the rights to the classic.

I liked the Weird Al version:

"Jurassic Park is frightening in the dark/all the dinosaurs are running wild"

A rare instance of a parody being less lyrically ridiculous than the original song.

Nickelback walks into a bar. There's no punchline because ruining music isn't funny./meme

Some 1990s rap, including:

"It Was a Good Day"- Ice Cube
"The Crossroads"- Bone Thugs N Harmony
"Regulate"- Warren G and Nate Dogg

Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

"Keep the Faith" - Bon Jovi

It's his best song, by far. And it's gotten me through this entire stupid project.
