Bad Covers We Love. Or hate. Whatever.

I just heard in the "Bad Movies We Love-thread that Barbra Streisand covered Bowie's Life On Mars.

I never heard it, but it sounds sheer torture.

So. Bad Covers We Love.

Barbra Streisand. Life On Mars. Originally by David Bowie. There ya go; have fun!

In the corner of funny covers I'ld also like to input Me First And THe Gimme Gimmees's Musical Album.

They crack me up. Buy it; their version of My Favourite Things is great

I love Will To Power's 1988 remake of "Baby I Love Your Way/Free Bird".

That song is a guilty pleasure of mine smile

From the top of my head, one that jumps to me right now is Beats International - Dub Be Good To Me (cover of Just Be Good To Me by SOS Band)

Any cover song performed by Britney Spears is understandably unlistenable.

Michael Jackson's cover of "Smile" is a guilty pleasure of mine. Lots of people hate it, but I think it's really pretty, though in a completely saccharine kind of way.
