Worst song covers

[Lace Neil Singer]

Yet another crappy girl group, the Pussycat Dolls, sampled "I Will Survive" for their "song" "Hush Hush". It seems to be the in thing at the moment to take an old disco style song (another group did the same for "The Time Of Your Life") and add bits of it to your vapid song to make it sound better. I know it's a stupid idea, but they could always try getting off their fat backsides and writing a song of their own to do that. Tho, seeing as most of these groups are just plastic people who can't sing and can't write and can't really do anything save dance with hardly any clothes on and grin stupidly, that's probably too much to ask from them.

As to sampling, Will Smith. "Men In Black" is a direct, blatant ripoff of Patrice Rushen's "Forget Me Not", a great song. A fair number of Smith's songs, especially his film songs, were based directly on older songs.

My BF despises Queen so much that he claims, whenever he hears the "Under Pressure" riff begin, he sincerely hopes it's "Ice Ice Baby".

He must be jealous of Freddie's utter fabulousness. XXD

The really sad thing is that it is possible to remake a song and not have it end up as noise pollution. Run DMC's collab with Aerosmith on Walk This Way was fantastic, in my opinion.

I prefer that song's use in George Michaels Fast Love more than the MiB one.

I'd have to go with the Sheryl Crow remake of Sweet Child of Mine.

Now I can't say the same for the Tori Amos covers of different songs. She made 87 Bonnie and Clyde downright creepy because it sounds like the little girl singing it.
