Blue Monday by Orgy is my archetype of worst cover ever

When I first heard this cover I legitimately thought it was a joke. I couldn't believe they would make a cover so bad it would taint the rest of their work. But there it is. I can't listen to their normal albums without thinking of this.

The original for reference:

They tried to make it the same, but worse? What the fuck is the point of that?

I think it was for a movie... I remember it being in one.. it's just part of that nu-metal thing we all need to erase from our minds.. it's funny one of my favorite covers is of the same song as the Orkestra Obsolete sort film

omg that video is every nu metal trope rolled into one

Non-sequittor: I need a pop-punk cover of Michael Penn's "No Myth."

Covering classics from the 80ies was a thing for nu-metal-related bands (or, more generally, for "alternative" bands in the late 90s, early 00s - Manson, Limp Bizkit, Korn..and so on). They could have their own thread - but please don't.
Korn rendition of Word Up is another awful song, but i don't like the original too

Worst Pixies cover I've ever heard:

Spent 30 seconds wondering how it was going to end up as the song before I realised you were having me on

Limp Bizkit's cover of The Who is so absolutely fundamentally atrociously godawful that I can't even. I remember being a kid when it came out, and everyone around me thought it was just soooo good; they downloaded the original on limewire by a mistake and made fun of how old, lame, and "gay" it was, compared to the amazing Limp Bizkit version. The nu metal years—what a time to be alive.

it must have been so confusing thinking that Limp Bizkit wrote that song among the rest of their catalogue.
