Perhaps the worst cover song ...ever.
Just sitting around in my drawers doing laundry. I'm flitting through itunes and emusic and I find maybe the worst thing I've ever seen: the Cardigans cover of "Iron Man". Ozzy is spinning in his grave and he's not even dead yet. This is even worse than Joan Jett's cover of "Dirty Deeds" or Cher's "Love Hurts". Gah. Why do people think they need to cover the classics? Did they all sit around and think "Yeah, Johnny Cash can do it, so I guess so can I!" No you can't! He's Johnny freakin' Cash and you're the chick from the Cardigans! Go turn out another cheesy pop-lite abomonation that'll make me yearn for the glory days of Ace of Base you pale ninny. Please let me know any other horrific covers that I may have missed because I obviously haven't suffered enough.

Madonna's cover of "American Pie" I hate, as well as Yusuf Islam's covers of his own songs from when he was Cat Stevens. Cheers to him for going Islam, but he didn't need to go back and crappify all the old greats, nor did he need to break his vows against ever singing pop music again to sing duets with Dolly Parton. Not that I'm against Dolly Parton. In fact, she was in a delightful holiday special when I was a child where she and Santa Claus saved a large group of orphans from an evil orphanage or some such trunk. There's more to here than meets the eye-at-chest-level, but that doesn't mean she needs to sing Cat's old songs with Yusuf.
Well, nice to swap songs with you soon, even if Kenny Loggins might show his dirty face, even if you did graduate when I was six.
Reel Big fish cover... Lita Ford's "Kiss me deadly"
