Worst & Best cover songs?

Judas Priest - Johnny B Goode.
Priest, dudez, I love you but that song is the worst thing ever.

i found William Hung's rendition pretty solid, if not true to the original. nice 'best of worst'!
too bad the vid stops at the solo.

The original isn't so bad:

Reviving ILM's least contentious thread about covers, these are all from the rolling fuck this shit worst songs of 2015 thread :

Elle King's "My Neck My Back", from 2012 https://youtu.be/VZgg9SIWfI0

Ed Sheeran does "Dirrty: The Polite Version"! https://youtu.be/Pf_ldxntwJg

William Singe does "Trap Queen: The Heartfelt Version"! https://youtu.be/s10gMglvYXo

Disturbed do "The Loud Sound of Silence" https://youtu.be/u9Dg-g7t2l4

Also Aretha's controversial "Rolling in the Deep" and Sam Smith's Hotline Bling, woohoo. Adding one that I enjoyed, Mo Kolours's "Golden Brown", but it's not so much bad as "wtf?".

Off the topic of best/worst (hopefully)... how would you cover an artist like Grimes? The Kiwi band Shunkan did "Flesh without Blood" in a stripped-down acoustic version, which does put a different spin on it, but seems inappropriate when the original was made in such a meticulous detail-obsessed way. Although they could complement it with a club banger version of "Life in the Vivid Dream".

chromatics - ceremony/into the black
cardigans - iron man/sabbath bloody sabbath
