Cover versions you DON'T want to hear

Inspired by just watching the movie Zoolander a terrible thing just entered my mind: What if David Bowie would choose to cover "Beat It"? Hard to imagine a more unfitting combination material- and performance-wise. That would be just so off words couldn't describe it. Britney singing Bertol Brecht? What about Guns N'Roses on "What's Goin' On"? Seriously! Or Madonna doing "Don't Cry For Me Argentina"! Oh please, even the sheer thought is unbearable!

Come up with some other terrible combinations yourself! (and post them here, if you didn't get it from the previous line - altough it really wasn't explicated)

"All I do is think of you" by some new boy band group from Bad Boy

They look funny and weird and sound terrible

ACtually the Buckley version was a cover. Cohen was the writer of "Hallalujah"
