Subject: Silly or strange cover songs: Your favorites

Written By: MaxwellSmart on 08/12/11 at 1:47 am

This is the umpteenth cover song thread, but none of the others pose the same question.  It's not whether you like the cover or not, but whether the artist made you laugh or cringe!

You ask for silly and strange? 

I give you 80s pop star Kim Wilde.

(reaction-guys-bored)

And her 2002 cover of Steppenwolf's 1968 rock classic Born to be Wild.

(reaction-guys-WTF?)

As a Eurodance track.

(reaction-guys-YEAAAAAAAH!)
