GOOD covers of BAD songs

Can someone explain to me why "slutty" is a negative attribute for a song to possess?

System of a dwn covered 'The Metro' and it sounded really good

There is something truly catharic about Rivers Cuomo saying "bluffing with my muffin".

 

[Shortyy : )]

Cake- I will Survive
Faith no More- easy

GoldFingers 99 Red Baloons cover. Its not that the song is originally bad, goldfinger just did it better.

30 SeconRAB To Mars covered Lady Gaga's Bad Romance.
That was skillful

I just hate the way that Gary Jules version got RE - done by a few durabass American Idol schmucks, which totally cheapened it... and the fact that it got thrown into nearly every "dramatic" episode of this or that show... it just started to get a bit overdone to the point where I actually WANTED to hear the original...

Tom Waits - Sea of Love

I agree, Goldfinger did a quality cover, but Nena's original is rocking too. 7SeconRAB also did a fair cover of the song. For some reason, 99 Luft Balloons is a magnet for covers.

You have it bass ackwarRAB, those are awful covers of good songs.

 

[Satan Worships Me]

i'm just waiting for him to come back and say how much better the Unplugged version of Plateau was too.

The Devil Wears Prada - Still Fly
A Day To Remeraber - Since U Been Gone

 

[assie]

What is wrong with the Thin Lizzy version?

That cover was horrible. Even more horrible than the original.




This I agree with, 100%. That is one of my favourite songs!

 

[Cesia R]

I agree with this. No insult to Kate Bush's original, but to me Placebo's version is light years better.

Love the kazoo version. Love the kazoo. In fact: I need more kazoo (next to the cow bell)!

My god no. The cover is terrible. I don't really like the original either, but it's not bad.

I know what you mean, though. I like his version as well.

If anything, he's just changing it up to his own style. And I can respect artists that aren't afraid to do that.

So you are not implying the original versions of these songs are bad? Good, because if you're calling Genesis's Return of the Giant Hodweed a bad song I'd have to kick your head clean off your body.

Also, I like Cash but I think his cover of Hurt is overrated, I still prefer the original.
