worst cover songs.....

This was an easy choice...hey Joe and good day sunshine...a double nomination for Eddie Murphy...both from his horrifics lp loves alright...for a man that made his bread mocking micheal Jackson...who ironically appears on the lp...his hi pitched off key wailing sounds like a bad impersonation

Any of the smooth jazz radio station covers you hear of classic songs. I just heard Crazy Love by Van Morrison the other day that really got under my craw.

It's hard to believe that it's been two days without mention of William Shatner's cover of "Rocket Man"

I also once heard a bastardized version of "Stairway to Heaven" that featured the lyrics from the "Gilligan's Island" theme song. Pretty sure the radio station received bomb threats.

Check out the "Golden Throats" series for tragic covers...

For example: Leonard Nimoy belting out Proud Mary, Eddie Albert, who mutilates Blowin' in the Wind, and of course William Shatner's version of Lucy in the Sky to name but a few...

I'm kind of surprised and yet not, that no-one has mentioned the Rolf Harris "Stairway to Heaven". I love it but I bet the purists don't. Anyway Rolf can do no wrong in my eyes.
