    What the fuck is wrong with her?! That was fucking awful. At least her husband had the good decency to try and re-write a SOAD song ;)

    I dunno, Avril's was clearly just a stupid joke - you can hear them laughing. I don't think a jokey cover can count as the worst one. It has to be completely po-faced, and serious, like Celine's abortion up there.
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    That's exactly what I thought when I read this thread.

    Yeah, when the original song sucks, it's hard to crown it the worst cover ever. But Limp Bizkit covering one of the most melodic, beautiful songs by one of the greatest bands ever, that's gotta trump this. What gets me the most is not only does he butcher the verses/chorus, he takes out the one part of the song he could have done a passable job at, the rocking "If my fist clenches..." bridge. And then he has the balls to add a verse. What a tool. And to top it off (from what I read in the hilarious 1 star allmusic.com review of the album) he misspelled Pete Townshend's name in the liner notes.

    Don't get me wrong, Fred Durst is a douche, but I doubt he even wrote the liner notes.

    Her version of "Fuel" by Metallica was pretty sad, too. :(

    I think Limp bizkit did a decent cover of the song Sanitarium by metallica, the worst cover could be fall out boy covering Beat it!

    I hate that Werewholf in London/Sweet Home Alabama song too.

    I think the worst I've ever heard was Madonna doing American Pie by Don McClean though. That should be outlawed by an act of congress to butcher such a great landmark song...

    Hated that cover, the Genesis original was the best.

    Oh...wow. That everlast video is unlistenable & unwatchable. What possessed him?

    Ironic, because I like all of Johnny Cash's late covers.
