A song murdered by someone.

Is there a cover version of a song you like by the original artist that has been in your ears truly murdered by a covering artist?
Mine is 'Everybody Knows' by Leonard Cohen, absolutely murdered by Barb Jungr.

What next, a bad cover of "We Built This CIty?" Actually I found one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JphLIPqhpg&list=RD3JphLIPqhpg&start_radio=1

As pop music goes those are actually both quite catchy obviously and also done quite well. BTW just saw Jefferson Starship at the state fair a couple weeks back and thoroughly enjoyed the entire show.
