The worst song cover(s)...

I used to think that William Shatner's cover of Rocket Man by Elton John had to be one of the worst song covers to date. Times have changed and I found one that beats it by 1.6 kilometers or roughly one mile.

The original is: She Blinded Me With Science by Thomas Dolby.

Hyperchicken did a cover...



I get the feeling some high-school kids conjured this up to show off their newly learned video editing techniques.

The making of She Blinded Me With Science documentary:

Shatner... for reference:

Yeah, that's his REAL HAIR!!

Wait... there's more!

Mr. Tambourine Man, written by Bob Dylan massacred by William Shatner:

The original Bob Dylan classic:

As unique as Dylan's version was, I think The Byrds owned it with their version.



Right after that show, optometrists all across America were getting flooded with orders for blue tinted granny glasses!
Shatner is a legend Chat! Tell me he doesn't nail Queens Bohemian Rhapsody.

This is the worst video of a bad cover isn't it? dunno

Painful. I'm surprised the record label allowed him to release that garbage.
Something wasn't right about Bowie and Jagger to do such a horrible cover of a hit song. Weren't they bed partners at one point in time?

There's something very wrong with this cover of Michael Jackson's - Smooth Criminal.

Wonder why this video is unavailable for me. Must be pretty bad.laugh
It is. But lots of videos are blocked due to copyright laws.

I saw that when yesterday when someone from Europe posted a concert video that isn't available in the USA.
I never cared for William Shatner..

His acting was bad...as well as his singing..

I always preferred Leonard Nimoy...something about a half Vulcan..
Preferred?

They are both in the same starship!

^^^

Not much better...laugh

I think they both let stardom go to their heads...
This song is original.

Maybe not the worst, but Weezer covered the Toto song Africa that started out okay. The keyboard solo in the middle was really weak. Near the end of the song the video morphed into some weirdness.

Classic!
