Because the night from an Italian tv show. Unfortunately learning English or even the lyric wasn't required.

The original

[jakeXT]

1. A Hard Day's Night

[In_The_Wind]

2. Do Ya Think I'm Sexy ?

Well ... [img][/img]

[BainsBane]

5. Are you insinuating Tiny Tim isn't sexy?

[In_The_Wind]

7. I really enjoyed seeing Tiny Tim on Broadway.

It's his singing voice that cracked me up. That's not putting him down at all.

[Enrique]

3. Because the night-a

Patti Smith-a

[BainsBane]

4. It could be a half-decent imitation if she actually knew the words

I love how the women on the panel (or whatever it is) are bobbing their heads up and down with no conception of how badly she's screwed up the song.

[Iggo]

6. Wow, that was horrible!

Thanks for posting the antidote right after it.

8. Mrs Miller gets my vote

13. I had never heard of Mrs. Miller

Did she sell many records?

[solara]

19. She definitely had her moment..at least 15 minutes

This was her biggest hit :

[BainsBane]

20. Well, I have to say she sounds like I imagine I do

And no one with any sanity would give me a record deal.

[solara]

21. Heh

I guess she was a novelty of sorts. I always felt sorry for her, I was afraid she thought people really liked her.

I grew up in Oklahoma City and her cover of "Downtown" was played constantly for a while.

go figure

[Tanuki]

9. The Chipmunks' "Achy Breaky Heart"

and Billy Ray Cyrus

[BainsBane]

18. OMG, I couldn't get past 5 seconds without turning it off

The original is bad enough, but that.

[Xyzse]

10. William Hung.

That's all I'm going to say.

[BainsBane]

12. That really is enough.

[Xyzse]

15. Yep...

No need for video.

[uriel1972]

11. William Shattner - Lucy in the Skies with Diamonds... nt

[HarveyDarkey]

14. This one always cracks me up

[BainsBane]

17. Hey, it has Jesus in the lyrics

They had no idea what they were singing.

[BlueJazz]

29. I'll bet they knew. You'd be surprised what a great paycheck every week will make ...

....even the hippest people (on the inside), do.

(I knew two of the Trombone players)

[Locut0s]

22. My mother watches these Taiwan & HK game shows...

They often have contests where people come up to cover famous pop songs. Wish I had some vids from these shows as many of them are laughable bad.

[lastlib]

23. that's dreadful.

My own vote for worst cover would be Loggins & Messina, "Danny's Song". It's only worse than the original because one of them has to be on the bottom.

My next vote would be for whatever dipshit disco act thought they could do a disco version of "Stairway To Heaven" (greatest song EVER!) without committing felonious assault on everything in existence--God, humanity, nature....I was ready to convene a Nuremberg trial for that one. Was so pissed about it when I found it in a record store (they had those in the 70s), I picked it up and broke it over my knee.

[Brother Buzz]

24. Weird Al Yankovic's - BOB is in a category all by itself

[OriginalGeek]

25. With apologies to Mrs. Miller upthread, are you ready boots?

&noredirect=1




I liked Megadave when he was an angry, drunk asshole. Now he's a right-wing christian that makes dull records but back in the day he could thrash.

[ok_cpu]

26. Hurra Torpedo!

[BainsBane]

27. I'm starting to think there is a whole new career possibility out there for me

In singing really badly.

[maxrandb]

28. Not sure you can beat Captain Kirk doing David Bowie's Space Oddity

[CBGLuthier]

30. Black Hole Sun, Steve and Eydie.

The funny thing is it is actually very good.

[Arkansas Granny]

31. Faith Hill "Piece of My Heart"
