A song murdered by someone.

I really love bad covers, they are fun to listen to.  Nazareth's "Love Hurts" falls in that category.  I particularly love hearing Shonen Knife cover "Top of the World, "  and maybe even Dolly Parton doing "Stairway to Heaven."

Eric (bdp24), as we’ve discussed in past threads I too very much like the Rock and Roll Trio/Johnny Burnette Trio’s version of "Train Kept A-Rollin’," and thanks for calling it to our attention here in the past.

Regarding the Yardbirds’ version, I actually prefer the variation of it they did, with similar music but completely different lyrics, that was entitled "Stroll On." I believe they wrote the different lyrics to circumvent copyright issues that would otherwise have arisen when they performed the song in the great but enigmatic 1966 film "Blow-Up," directed by Michelangelo Antonioni . As our foremost resident rock historian here you probably know more about that than I do. The clip from "Blow-Up," in which Jeff Beck has a problem with his guitar amplifier, with interesting consequences:
