The London Underground during rush hour. It's like a real life near death simulation, only it's not simulated!

That would have been one of my contenders as well, except it actually makes me want to rip DJ Otzi's eyeballs out, and those of the morons who sing it when really pissed on holiday.
But, oh, there are so many despicable songs in existence! Right at the moment it would be Suspicious Minds by Gareth Gates. WHAT ON EARTH possessed that fool Cowell to say:
"Oh, I know. Let's take the best song by the biggest cultural phenomenon since the war, a psychologically complex pop song about painful break-up, sung brilliantly by a bloke who has clearly had plenty of experience of this sort of thing, and give it to a squeaky-voiced 18 year-old who cannot POSSIBLY have been through this emotional mangle in the same way." Result, unsurprisingly, is the worst cover version in the world. Worse even than:
Robson and Jerome's Unchained Melody
Gareth Gates' Unchained Melody
Oh, and another one: "Let's take a song written by one half of the greatest songwriting partnership since the war, consciously conceived as an epitaph for the band that revolutionised popular music, and give it to a couple of squeaky ninnies who, again, cannot possibly empathise with the sentiment behind it, so they improvise with a load of god-awful wobbly high notes worse than anything this side of Whitney Houston/Mariah Carey." That'll be The Long and Winding Road then.
Music matters too much for me to pick on only one song. Don't even get me started on A1's anodyne version of the wonderful Take On Me...

I feel like throwing up each time I hear 'Feel' from Robbie Williams. Everyone I know is always gushing over the song, how wonderful and brilliant it is and I just DON'T get it!!! And I just keep hearing the damn thing on each radio station, torturing my ears. I'm telling you, someone is out to kill me with that song. It is PURE EVIL!!!! So bad!!! Phew, after that ranting I could really use a  !! |

I must admit that i hate anything boy-girl bandish..... I am a huge fan of the late great Bill Hicks and tuly agree that music should be "PLAYED FROM YOUR FU****NG HEART" and to a large degree think that music should be performed by the people who write it and absolutley heard live.... I am aware that there are many great songs sung by artists that did not write them and would possibly have done more justice to the song than the actual writers but it's just a little quirk i have (nobody said you had to be logical about these things) ;D ;D ;D |

I'll kind of agree with Galileo but take it a step further and say anything by Robbie Williams. Mrs Madcap insisted on Angels for our opening dance at our weddingand I spent the whole time wanting to vomit (though that may have been the amount of Laphroiag I'd consumed).
Oh, and that tosser Peter from Fame Academy's version of Friday I'm In Love....not funny mate, really.

Papa Lazarou (I even have a mask, wig and top hat...)
While we're on the subject, if the test of a great impression is that you find it impossible to get it out of your head when you see the real person, then I'd like to pay tribute to Jon Culshaw and Jan Ravens (from 'Dead Ringers') especially for their Simon Schama, Fiona Bruce and Kirsty Wark.
And the very word 'impression' always reminds me of this moment of genius:
Courtroom scene. A doctor is on the witness stand.
Lawyer: "Doctor, can you give us your impression of Mr. Striker?"
Doctor: "I'm sorry, I don't do impressions."
('Airplane!')

Liza Minelli. But I'm short and I drink too much, so it's not that much of a stretch. |
