Snuff slaughtering "I will survive". But perhaps this doesn't count, as I think this is better than the original

madonnas version of Amercian Pie was pretty poor tbhhowever, the single worst cover ever bar none was Paul Shane (yes he of hi-de-hi fame) cover of You've Lost that Loving Feeling - which i had the sever misfortune of seeing on daytime TV years ago.can't recall which show it was but jaysus it was bad.the recent cover version - not sure who by - of michael jacksons Beat it is ropey. esp the bit where the guiarist tries to do Eddi eVan Halens' solo from the song.ok, he doesn't try to match it note for note but what we end up with is utter rubbish too.EVH recorded that guitar tracks for that song in 15 minutes did you know?? smile
Fallout boy?

An american band covered Comfortably Numb a couple of years ago, can't remember who they were, however it was a disgrace to a timeless classic.

Fallout Boy, but the guitarist is John Mayer, one of the finest young guitarists out there. EVH impressions aren't exactly his thing but I thought he did a good job of it, far better than if some soulless studio shredder had done it note for note anyway
