As we are all on this subject ;-)

As Stu has started this.... ;-)

What is the worst cover version of any song you have ever heard?

.........My choice (which may surprise some of you)

HATE this is a passion

Best wishes

This probably isn't the worst but I really fucking hate it:

Cheesy, overly American, silly echo, adds nothing to the original, no thanks!

Yes it was a toss up between Kirk and Spock but Spock won out on the basis of it being a cover John.....but not as we know it....

prefer that version to queens ... which might be viewed as slightly controversial by some!!

not my favourite song by a long way, but has a place in my life because of the video, which I thought was absolutely brilliant, which gave the the song a special place .......

p.s. I LOVE GMs version of Roxanne, but what the fuck was he doing here!!!

Cartman off south park doing asia "heat of the moment" or styx "come sail away". Bad but in an astonishingly good way..
