00:00The Top 6 Worst Cover Songs Ever Performed
00:03Number 6. 21 Pilots
00:06Cancer
00:07Trap beats on a song about terminal illness, like confetti at a funeral.
00:13The verses survive, but the chorus turns grief into a TikTok remix,
00:18stripping away the raw emotion that made the original so devastating.
00:22Number 5. William Shatner, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
00:27Shatner's spoken word interpretation sounds like Captain Kirk lost at karaoke night in hell.
00:33Critics called it a train wreck, but its sheer absurdity gave it cult status.
00:38Number 4. Machine Gun Kelly, Misery Business
00:42Hayley Williams' powerhouse vocals proved too much for MGK,
00:46who ducked into a lower octave with autotune as backup.
00:50Imagine a tequila-fueled dive bar rocker.
00:52You admire the effort, but beg for the jukebox.
00:55Number 3. Madonna, American Pie
00:59Cutting McLean's 8-minute epic in half gutted its soul.
01:04Her dance pop gloss felt like fast-forwarding through a Russian novel.
01:08Even Don McLean's polite praise couldn't save this flop, once voted worst cover ever.
01:14Number 2. Panic at the Disco, Bohemian Rhapsody
01:18Brendan Urie delivered Broadway flair, but Queen's masterpiece demands something more than technical mimicry.
01:25The result? A Mona Lisa recreated with Instagram filters.
01:28Accurate, yet hollow.
01:31Number 1. Limp Biscuit, Faith
01:33George Michael's smooth charisma was replaced with Fred Durst's barked aggression.
01:38The new metal version polarized listeners.
01:41Catchy to some, unbearable to most.
01:44It remains infamous as both bold and misguided.
