I've never heard it personally but I had a student a couple of years back who was a big Pink Floyd fan. It was a good idea to not mention the Scissor Sisters' cover of Comfortably Numb to him (well he started the mentioning of it). Given the Scissor Sisters usual thing I can only imagine at the horror - I quite like them in principle but Pink Floyd covers? Really?
I like that cover (which therefore makes it compatible with my reading of this thread title as 'Songs you love to see being massacred'). To me it does much the same as Punk did to Prog Rock - sticks two fingers up to the self-important pomposity of 'serious' rock (for which Roger Waters has been found guilty on more than one occasion).
Related to songs I love, but then get massacred, there's a category of them that don't even need to be covered for that to happen. Usually because their irony is either wilfully or naively ignored. Two examples spring to mind: Springsteen's
Born in the USA being used to rouse Republicans and US patriots, and Joplin's
Mercedes Benz used to sell Mercedes Benzes. Playing
Perfect Day at a wedding, whether Lou Reed or a cover, also falls into this group.
