Which song cover makes you want to rip your ears off and run screaming into a soundproof (and possibly padded) room?

For me, I didn't think ANYTHING could be worse than madonna's butcher job on Don McLean's American Pie

THEN

I heard Fred Durst use a speak and spell in the atrocity he calls a cover of The Who's 'Behind Blue Eyes'. It's one of my favortie songs and the saddest part of Fred Durst's cover travesty is that Roger Daltrey wrote the song at age 12, and yet an adult Fred Durst manages to completely devoid it of all meaning and otherwise eff it up entirely

Listen to your heart. It is on the air now. It is just so slow and I feel like it is never ending!

Yes!!! I can't listen to this at all. I think it's horrendous. Not that I liked Roxette's version much better, but at least that I can stomach.

Jessica Simpson's version of Angel and the new cover of that Roxette song.... I'd rather listing to fingernails scratching a chalkboard.

The BEST cover band HAS to be **** Cheese & Lounge against the machine. He does these awesome loungey takes on System of a down and other bands liek that.
