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.

Chuck Eddy to thread! I would not however call it a classic...more an experience.

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.
