By accident I saw this on YouTube and came up with the idea of having a "worst cover" thread.
I dont know if we really had it before - but anyway, here we go!
Be sure to listen to Joey's comments in the second vid...

Give this guy a guitar with a backup band and you got yourself a star!

Well, those are sure some butchered songs. Ken Lee? Oh my.

Posted by: Praetorian Jul 18 2010, 04:18 AM

I give them credit for trying...but...wow!

Posted by: Staffy Jul 18 2010, 06:36 AM

Yups. Ken Lee is simply awesome, but I found this one as well:



And then we haven't mentioned the Swedish Elvis-wanna-be Eilert Pilarm yet.... (which God may forgive)

This isn't a cover song, but a cover movie. Behold...Turkish "Rambo"!

We had similar topics before, just for fun ofc, not trying to bash anyone, but you cannot mistake the bad taste in some of them, despite cultural and all other differences.

EDIT: Sorry forgot the link

I think I posted the first clip here before, this is Swedens beloved Elvis-imitator Eilert Pilarm.
The second clip I found the other day, and its even worser.....
The story is as following:

The guy had a stroke, and when he wake up at the hospital, he was totally convinced that his future mission would be
to sing Elvis-covers - as far as I know, he never sang a note before in his entire life.
So he started his career and was spotlighted in National Television in an ad for KELDA (pre-made sauces).
Since then he sold some 100.000 records as well as touring all over Sweden.... Isn't music just wonderful???

And even worser....

Posted by: MickeM Jul 22 2010, 10:43 PM

So let's mention him shall we
Jailhouse rock is his best slaugher





Before? I don't think he hit a note ever!

Posted by: Gitarrero Jul 22 2010, 10:49 PM

Please tell me this Elvis guy is not singing english...cause I don't understand a word!!!
Anyway, another cover gone kinda wrong...wonder what problem the guitar guy had in the first chorus.

Posted by: Staffy Jul 22 2010, 10:55 PM

Yeah, Eilert is ON!!!
Btw. Have You heard his Christmas album??? I play it every year, his version of "Holy Night" will get even the Pope to quit religion....
Hmmm, we have a bunch of songs to choose from, maybe we shall have a voting thread???
Well thats true, he never hit a note, and I supposed he haven't succeeded yet!

//Staffay



He's TRYING to... but he doesn't know a word of English by himself.....obviously!

//Staffay





He's improvising, cant You hear that????
