In a dream early this morning, I was having a discussion with friends about the worst cover versions imaginable, whether or not they existed. My contribution: "In Heaven" (the Lady in the Radiator song from Eraserhead), performed by "Wonderful Christmastime"-era Wings. (Disclaimer: I probably wouldn't have thought of this one if I'd been conscious.)

Your nominees?

Complete singing Take on Me by Aha...wait Complete don't do covers they are happy with the way they sound. Heart and Soul.

"Heart and Soul," as covered by Big Black.

The entire Pixies Tribute album, Where Is My Mind. Here's the track list:

1. Alison - EVE 6
2. Alec Eiffel - The Get Up Kids
3. Velouria - Weezer
4. Monkey Gone To Heaven - Far
5. Trompe Le Monde - Braid
6. Wave Of Mutilation - Superdrag
7. Manta Ray - Teen Heroes
8. Tame - Local H
9. Gigantic - Reel Big Fish
10. The Holiday Song - The Siren Six!
11. Where Is My Mind? - Nada Surf
12. Gouge Away - The Promise Ring
13. Here Comes Your Man - Samiam
14. LA, LA, Love You - Weston
15. Caribou - Sense Field

The only other thing that comes to mind is the few Cure covers I heard at clothing stores downtown. Whoever did that Pictures of You cover totally didn't get the memo on the song's beat.

Local H doing 'Puss' by The Jesus Lizard and turning it into a Nickleback song

Ouch.

This isn't EXACTLY the same thing.......but a while back I saw a video of HANSON covering Radiohead's "Optimistic". I was immediately pissed off.....and disgusted.....but then I realized that it was actually kinda good. Sure it was a pop-hooky version, but they had all the harmonies dead on. I'm pretty sure none of them were actually playing their instruments though.

Regardless, that was the first/last time I ever listened to HANSON.

(don't punch me)
