If you ever thought that the River City People's cover of California Dreamin' was bad, just wait till you've heard Jose Feliciano's.

I wasn't familiar with the RCP one so just had a listen. God, it's dreadful.

I really don't mind Feliciano's version though - it's his take on Light My Fire that bothers me more.

Just heard a cover of Sham 69’s The Kids Are United on the radio. I respect the motivation behind making it (an anti bullying campaign) but I hope I never hear it again as long as I live.

I heard Cliff Richard's cover of "Here comes the sun" on the radio yesterday. Apparently its form his new album. Not sure exactly how but he managed to suck all the life out of it completely. Dreadful.

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

That really is (allegedly) a criminal cover version...

I'm not sure if it strictly meets the criteria of being a cover, but Billy Bragg's “The Lonesome Death Of Rachel Corrie” needs to be tied up in a sack, weighted with bricks and hurled into Barking Creek.

Mary Anne Hobbs on 6music is currently playing a dirgesome cover by Nick Cave of T-Rex's Cosmic Dancer.

Someone really ought to take it outside and shoot it to put it out of its misery.

Can they do the same with his cover of Disco 2000?

Jonas Blue covering Tracy Chapman's 'Fast Car'. It became fairly popular in 2015/2016, with a weird cowboy video. Part of the reason it is so shit is that the original song is sad and a reflection of poverty and lack opportunity, which doesn't really pair up well with tropical house music. The cover even drops the last 2 verses which are sort of the point of the song.

I'm not even going to click on that link. The mere idea of it is quite horrific enough.

Has anyone seen her Sunday lunch videos? Her and Robert belting out a cover or two. Well worth a watch.
