    or were just really really bad covers.

    I don't mean like some hill-billy singing a song on youtube, I mean an actual produced video, from a real singer.

    I hate the way he starts the song, that style of singing is like fingernails on the chalkboard.

    here is the real song, although not the video for it (the sound quality from that one stunk).

    The Aerosmith Cover of "Give Peace a Chance" was an abomination.
    It was on the Save Darfur album which did cover songs of Lennon songs. The Black Eyed Peas was similiarly shitty.

    One of the greatest electronic songs of all time turned into this steaming pile of crap.

    Hey now. Hey hey ... hey hey hey.

    I think this qualifies as a cover.
