Richard Cheese FTW! 
best:
Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower - still sounds like its from a distant galaxy in the future.
The Drones - Dekalb Blues - (Leadbelly originally. they’ve done a bunch of great covers but this is the best)
worst :
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (the song itself is a leaden turd, i don’t know why every shithead that’s ever picked up a guitar feels the need to cover it…)
i’ll think of some more tonite when i can look at iTunes
Why in the ever-loving fuck have I not heard this song?
Damn, that nearly makes up for that shitty remake of Taxi.
also, can we please keep this on topic. joke cover songs are not funny and they are not good and they are nobody’s favourite. they are shit.
+1
I thought I was the only one who thought Weird Al was a talentless bucket of shit.
imo the best rock and roll song of all time. this cover beats hawkwinds :0
every silicon teens cover
