Surely, if it's by the original artists, it's not a cover but rather just an alternative version.

Not sure I understand the premise that a cover can be so bad you can't help but listen.
I'll just settle for "different".

I say no Bonzo, then not the same band.

Unblievablke. Besides being a terrible song to start with!
I didn't realize how bad things could get. I'd not heard the.....blight....before. Wish I hadn't now...talentless paper kittens....turn off the auto-tone-correct and the poor girls fraudulent enchantment would soon turn to disillusionment...one would hope.

And remember that I was looking for a version performed by a Swedish "dance band". But when looking for Westdeath, I realised that the Swedes made a VERY good cover after all ....

There's even a blog with a comprehensive discussion about the song:

It would make little difference as this type of garbage sells purely on the way the singer/band looks not musical talent , i blame The Beatles for this
