I used to think Celine Dion deserved summary execution for this and would have comfortably have ranked it as the worst cover ever but this has made me re-evaluate that. If you can bear it, marvel at the guitar solo about 2 minutes, 8 seconds in.

Money can't buy happiness... but it can buy bacon which is close enough.

There can be only one winner - Geri Halliwell's version of The Weathergirls "It's Raining Men." A travesty if there ever was one.

Adeles version of "to make you feel my love is gash"

Garth Brooks has done a FANTASTIC cover of this however

Now then, it's a race between Sandie....and Fairburn....and the little man is in........yeees he's in.

I, just like those Castleford supporters felt that the ball should have gone to David Plange but he put the bit betwen his teeth...and it was a try

Kevin Ward - best player I have ever seen

The real Mick Gledhill is what you see on here, a Bradford fan ........, but deep down knows that Bradford are just not good enough to challenge the likes of Leeds & St Helens.

I must protest, old bean.

That cover version is well into the "so bad it's quite brilliant, in its own way" territory!

You are a cloth eared clown sometimes.

How about Paul Young performing horrible acts upon this

Very nasty indeed. The talkey bit is particularly unpleasant.

That unfortunate crowd has some staying power.

Bruce Springsteen's cover of 'Dream Baby dream' by Suicide. Not only a truly rotten bit of off-key, self-indulgent, aimless moaning, but the song goes on (and on) for about 3 weeks (by subjective time, at least). I'd post a link, but I do have a few small shreds of humanity and conscience remaining.
