Okay, just one more reason to love the interweb - I love cover songs especially when they are a little askew ( for example I just made a Mix CD of Prince covers- the Marshall Crenshaw cover of Take Me With U is especially good ). Not to mention that some of the best recordings of all times were covers ( think All Along the Watchtower, Babe I’m Gonna Leave You, Me and Bobby McGee, and Respect to name just a few ).

But now, thanks to the mother of all networks, you can find any number of really bad covers. Want proof - well click on over to The Metalizer and check out Angel of the Morning. Oy.

Not bad enough, how about this guy doing Smooth Criminal acoustically with a bad French accent. Want more? How about the Dokaka version of Teen Spirit?

Still reading this post? Still want some more bad covers? Okay here goes: What would it sound like if ,some guy decided to try and cover a Pink Floyd song as if he were Bob Dylan? Click to find out. What about if “Scooter” covered Billy Idol and had his back up chicks sing in French? Check. What about Aqualung done lounge lizard style? But of course.

Then there is a cover of Fast Car that will really make you appreciate Tracy Chapman, Beatles covers by bar bands, and many, many obscure people covering obscure songs.

There is even a 20 Covers Audio test where you try and name each artist and each song, not to mention a blog about nothing but cover songs.

What did we do before the Interweb?
