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.

stargazer3, glad you like Nazareth's take on "Love Hurts". It's such a great song, there's more than one way to do it. Taste is too subjective and personal for everyone to agree on everything, so don't take offense when I say that I find the singer in Nazareth to be 'oversinging", the way some actors "overact". Then there is the stiff drumming, and the phased guitar sound, which I don't care for. But that's just me. Still a great song, which is the most important thing.  
I am heading to youtube for Yoko Ono video. I am burning with anticipation.
Oh my, this Yoko Ono performance of Someone like you by Adele really gives a full meaning to the title of this thread. Performance itself is electrifying. I looked that way once I accidentally held a wire plugged into the wall.
Aw geez, how could I have forgotten (I should be so lucky) The Who’s version of "Shakin’ All Over"? The Guess Who improved on the Johnny Kidd & The Pirates original, The Who quite the opposite. Daltry’s vocals set a new standard for hoariness. Absolutely unlistenable. I am aware that opinion is not universally shared ;-) .
