I am not completely convinced this list (videos included) is the "end all" of the very worst cover songs ever.....but it sure is a funny list!`

And now without any further undue direct from some goofy website named Cracked.com (http://www.cracked.com/index.php?name=News&sid=1713&pageid=1) are the The 20 Worst Cover Songs in Pop Music History!

I don't know about the worst cover song, but that Celine/Anastasia cover of "You Shook Me All Night Long" may be the one of the funniest moments in pop history.

It's hard to keep a straight face while they rock the AC/DC.

Weird, there's TWO cases of the worst cover versions being Who songs.

But yeah, I LOLed and recoiled all at once when I saw Celine Dion & Anastacia sing AC/DC. :eek:

not too sure about those choices.

I found their top five drug fueled tv appearances (http://www.cracked.com/index.php?name=News&sid=880)a lot more entertaining. although there was no mention of Sly on the Dick Cavett show. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bM_Pf7JhKWo)

Walk This Way by Girls Aloud

That live cover of Wonderwall the Beastie Boys did once. It was horrific.

I actually liked No Doubt's Its My Life.

But yeah, Celine thrusting through You Shook Me All Night Long left me temporarily blind. And I was glad.

People really need to hear Dylan's version of "The Boxer." (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=50:1p851vk5zzxa~T)

He's done some horrible covers and some great ones; this one is just bizarre.
