worst cover ever?

You can all totally blame Toby for this. Behind a cut because it's so damn horrible.

Oh, no. No no no.

I had to go snag soft cell's version to make me feel a little better after that.

I just found this one - the original by Gloria Jones. I'd never heard it before, but it's good! Very efficient at cleaning out that other muck.

You know, the opening verse, I was thinking "this really isn't that bad, about on par with the original" ... and then the chorus... the horrible chorus.... and I might blame Toby, but its your throat I'll be strangling now :)

Isn't that also in the Marc Almond/Soft Cell version? So that would make this a cover of a cover,.

oh fuck me, its like a bad session of singstar. Mind you, the original makes me want to go home and die.

Oh lord, I couldn't listen to more than 20 seconds of that.

Oh god, all the life has been stamped clean out of it. That is not a song for pretty, clean people to sing.

Certainly a contender for most pointless. It's as if she's dropped her own vocal (ugh) over the original backing.

I haven't heard vocal pitch correction that obvious since Cher's [i]Do You Believe In Love[/i] - starts around 2:21
