Subject: Korn covers Cameo's "Word Up"

Written By: My name is Kenny on 09/06/04 at 6:17 pm

This song should be about six billion times worse than it actually is.

Does the world need another version of Word Up? Gun had already covered it in the 90s. ;D

Just so long as they wear a scarlet codpiece, it'll work out :D

IMO, the original was OK. Though "Candy" is much better.


Haven't heard the cover, but know it's bad since I don't care for Korn.  :P

Don't know how well you'll remember personally, Bobby, but do you remember the version over here from Mel (then Gulzar, now Brown, former Spice girl) and her then-husband Jimmy? Scary stuff. It can't be worse than that, surely?

I think I do, Bobo. I'd forgotten about that! LOL. Uninspiring stuff I must say . . .  ::)

I agree with MrGazpacho, bring on the codpieces!  ;D

Korn is by far the best version I have heard.  Mel B should be strung up for her attempt!

In all fairness it is an awful song!

Is it really that bad? I haven't seen it yet. I need a good laugh.  ;D

Remember the video for Basement Jaxx's Where's Your Head At? With freaky human faces superimposed on top of monkeys in a scientific lab?

This is exactly the same, except with the faces superimposed on dogs and possibly even a hyena. Then they all go to a strip club and ogle girls' breasts.  ::)



Edit: I really am not making up the bit about the strip club. Now that I think about it, The Baxement Jaxx video also had dogs with human faces as well...

Where's your head at is a superb video.  I will look out for Rages now..

Sorry, I was unclear. "Rage" is a weekend music video TV program on the Australian Broadcasting Commission...

Did the swear filter just catch one of your words? Or is "Kerrng" a concept which you would like to descibe to us? ???

I meant Kerrang.  It is a TV station here.  And a radio station and a magazine.  Mostly for rock fans.  I apologise for my spelling, I have a hangover  ???

Bass Funk also covers "Word Up" by Cameo.

I never liked this version.  Cameo's is way better

If Korn are gonna cover anything, it should be their mouths ;D
