Anyone heard Ani DiFranco do "When U were mine"? It's very passable and enjoyable. She does it a little bit slower and it's just her and an acoustic guitar. Mmmmmm. | |

I really like Leann Rimes cover of "Purple Rain". I think she really nailed it.
There are many terrible ones that I thankfully can't remember. | |

1) MC Hammer's version of Soft & Wet is just atrocious.
2) Elvis Costello's attempt at Pop Life is a close second. "This is the delivery boy from the liquor store.....I brought U some champagne the other day!" | |

The worst cover of a Prince song was by.....ANYBODY who tries to sing a Prince song. Even in if you're in the shower or trying to sing along with him. You suck. Ha!    [Edited 3/25/05 22:33pm] Onion Juice appears courtesy of Streethop.com | |

Haven't heard that. I hate to say it but the worst Prince cover I've heard (even worse than Tom Jones doing kiss) is Ani doing "When Doves Cry". |

"Kiss" by Tom Jones & the Art of Noise.  | |

Now, I love my girls but, how did they pull that one off without changing the song? It's totally about a guy asking his girl about their relationship. As girls wouldn't they have to change it to if 'If eye was your Homie?' and leave out the part about hair washing? Just intrested and curious. Gonna find it later and listen. Shake....shake, shake, shake. |

Totally fucking awful A travesty  Word. I think Tom Jones is smarmy. (What's New Pussycat makes me )The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

My most hated cover is that Leann Rimes Purple Rain. Clearly not one of those 'you got chocolate in my peanut butter' kind of situations. |

OMFG!!! 
Imagine if you will an entire "album" of really shitty Prince covers. Click on the link to pay amazon a visit and try out the musical samples, you all may need to reassess who you may have already picked for worste Prince cover song. Listen to the sample for "Girls and Boys" or "Darling Nikki" if you dare

Okay, isn't the worst cover of a Prince song done by none other than...Prince himself.
The culprit: 1999-The New Masters. Why, Prince, why??? Okay, technically, it's a remake and not a cover but I haven't had a chance to slam this misguided, money hungry, godawful venture in a while. All good things they say never last... | |

OnionJuice said: Ifsixwuz9 said: Melissa Morgan - Do Me Baby Melissa Morgan's version of "Do Me Baby" is far from terrible. In fact, her version is better Prince's. Her's is more smooth and sensual than his. I think thats probably one of only covers that's acutally better than the original done by Prince himself. [Edited 3/25/05 15:51pm] Totally agree | |

Oh. My. God. I will never, ever doubt my ability as a musician after listening to THOSE covers. Holy crap, those were bad!

WTF!?! I am at the library and it's all I could do to not laugh aloud. Those are HORRIBLE. I rescind my earlier vote of Kiss by Tom Jones. These covers aren't even good enough to belong in the  ! Whomever produced that should have their hearing taken away!
Update: I just went back for more punishment and I have to say that I think the Delirious cover is worse than Darlin' Nikki & Girls & Boys!! [Edited 3/29/05 15:47pm] The check. The string he dropped.

BTW, was that a crappy-ass sitar playing in "Delirious"?  | |
