For some reason I've always thought it would be entirely comprised of synths and drums and that it would have ditched the guitar.

The whole white trash slant (think Nicks/Henley) makes it even more excruciating.
It's easy to badly remake a good song ... but to desecrate originals that were bad in the first place is a true sign of a horrible cover.

This song is a CLASSIC and it is an injustice that it should be listed in this thread.

Some of Re:Covered's "finest" moments:
Mis-Teeq do a note for note cover of Alanis' "Ironic"Liberty X tackle "High and Dry" by RadioheadAthlete, yes, that's Athlete, offer their own interpretation of Prince's Kiss. It contains no discernable tune.

I like Tori Amos's Steely Dan cover... Or I used to. Haven't listened to her for a while.

I'd love to hear the first two, actually. If I ever heard the third, I would probably succumb to the temptation to do violence to someone. Athlete, for preference. Though it cannot be as bad as the horrible, horrible Stereophonics murdering 'Nothing Compares 2 U'.
Tori Amos's covers are generally all excellent.

i wonder what polkadots00 really means it when she\he says that song "gets under my skin and seeps into my viens lol" . it made me feel kind of sick while listening.

You wouldn't necessarily expect it, but Nine Inch Nails' cover of Soft Cell's "Memorabilia" is a joke
I'm sure that some of the covers mentioned here are in fact worse, but if you're only considering those cover versions undertaken by bands that are actually better than the artist they're covering, I'd bet NIN's "Memorabilia" takes the cake.
It also occurs to me now that the Stones' "Dancing In The Streets" would be up there in this category as well.
