Some songs are written so utterly perfect that no cover could or would ever do them justice. And in spite of our availability when it comes to listening to a song that has been rehashed in order to make it possible for wannabe artists to hit the top of the charts, there are songs that simply shouldn\u2019t be tackled. Even though we should also address the topic of including parts of famous songs into pieces that simply aren\u2019t good (as Abba\u2019s \u201cGimme Gimme Gimme\u201d was raped by Madonna or how Christina Aguilera and Pitbull decided that Aha\u2019s \u201cTake on me\u201d needed some improvement), today\u2019s article will only discuss appalling covers that could even make fans doubt the original song. So here are (x) horrible covers that have completely ruined the originals:\"1\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Madonna- American Pie<\/h1>\n

At the top of our list is one of the best contenders for the Worst Covers of All Time lists. Madonna\u2019s American Pie has been so loathed and has been described as one of the biggest travesties to ever be heard. Recorded for the romantic comedy \u201cThe Next Best Thing\u201d, it\u2019s more than clear that neither the song nor the movie were well received. So much so that Madonna herself disavowed the song, stating that her decision to record it was sort of forced by a certain record company. Whatever the reason, there is no reason for such bad music.<\/p>\n

Britney Spears- Satisfaction<\/h1>\n

Wasn\u2019t it more than clear that if the queen of pop wanted shit to hit the fan with the previous cover, that the princess of pop would follow in her footsteps? She decided therefore to take this absolutely amazing song from the Rolling Stones, grind it together with a dash of bad singing, stick it to a ridiculously horrible re-orchestration and market it as her own personal insult to a band that has written music history.<\/p>\n

Decide for yourselves.<\/a><\/p>\n

Sheryl Crow – Sweet Child o’ Mine<\/h1>\n

Who doesn\u2019t love the original, down-to-earth, absolutely perfect song that was, is and forever will be Sweet Child o\u2019 Mine? Apparently Sheryl Crow, as she single handedly destroyed it (as if she had lit it on fire, spat on it and lit it on fire all over again to make sure that the ashes themselves had burned). Her version is even worse than anyone could imagine, but if you don\u2019t want to take our word for it, we invite you to try and get to the end of this 3 min 57 second musical cacophony.<\/p>\n

Enjoy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Massive Attack- Light My Fire<\/h1>\n

Even great bands such as Massive Attack can totally screw up from time to time and there is no better example of such a situation than what they have achieved by trying to cover the song \u201cLight My Fire\u201d (originally sung by The Doors). We all know the original and if you don\u2019t we strongly suggest you listen to it at least ten times so that you can erase any and all remnants of this cover from your memory.<\/p>\n

The Cover here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sean Kingston- Me Love<\/h1>\n

Can you imagine a situation in which a relatively bad song is covered and it becomes an even worse song? Of course you can\u2019t so we decided to help you and bring you one perfect such example. Originally sung by Led Zeppelin (as Dyer Maker), Sean Kingston managed to suck out everything in the song that had to do with good-old-fashioned music and replaced it with poorly structured commercial music, thus turning it into complete and utter rubbish.<\/p>\n
