Horrible songs done right
October 14, 2013 at 11:01 am
There are a lot of shitty songs out there, but every once in a while, someone takes that song and turns it into gold. This is the thread for such covers.

On the Rocks doing Lady Gaga's 'Bad Romance. I'm a sucker for good acapella and the video itself is quite funny.

I just couldn't stop laughing when I heard this version the first time. Absolutely brilliant! Alanis Morissette doing The Black Eyed Peas' "My Humps".

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Mash-ups are another guilty pleasure of mine, that falls into the category.

Slipknot feat. Justin Bieber "Psychosocial Baby"

Eminem feat. Hanson "Shady Bop"

Bugger! Eminem could just be a Hanson!

My Humps was twisted. Loved it!

Love On The Rocks

And Shady Bop is great! Amazing how well those go together, really... kind of disturbingly well...

Somebody that I Used to Know - not a bad song but this cover is hilarious

Yes, this is American Idol but hear me out: They made a weird, bouncy, '50s song into something worth listening to! (Oh, and please end American Idol. Seriously.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGPV1IvGUEk

Not a fan of the original song but Jessica and Joshua redid it well. Two amazing voices that sound great together remaking a thoroughly 80s song.

The first one was both talented and hilarious! The second and third one makes me curse the fact that I was born a musical white girl with no ability to sing whatsoever. '-_-

And on the topic of parody songs:

My wife's version of "House of the Rising Sun".





This is one of those songs that needs to be sung by a woman, as it's the swan song of a dying prostitute who was tragically pulled into that life. It also needs to be slower than "The Animals"'s version of it. I think she did a better job.

The "50's Doo Wop" version of Miley Cyrus' We Can't Stop is actually a nice thing to listen to:

I guess I am going to have to record my version of "Never Gonna Give You Up" for this thread. Tongue
