Bloody ell! The one I quoted was featured on Johnny Vaughns breakfast show earlier this year as the worlds worst ever cover,he obviously hadn't heard your one!
Sorry, but if you think Buckley's version is worse than Willie Nelson's that I linked to earlier in the thread, then you need your ears looking at.
In fact there are plenty of worse versions.
I think I can announce a pre-emptive worst cover of Hallelujah (and possibly any song ever). I've just read that it's been covered by... Il Divo :eek: Comes out in a month apparently, I hope it bombs.
OMD did a hugely rubbish version of Velvet Underground's 'Sunday Morning' on their Liberator album in 1993. Not exactly their best album anyway, that really didn't help it at all.
Sugababes and Girls Aloud's Walk This Way was awful. But, the worst cover is Madonna's American Pie - the original is probably in my Top 3 songs of all time, and her version was just an insult.
