That is exactly the word to describe it. Instead of punching you in the chest with the impacts, it's like you're wearing a catcher's pad.

I was at a wedding two weeks ago and they did a remix of Baby Got Back. Why remix a perfect song?

Was it the Coulton cover? That one's kinda fun for how weird it is

Puddle of Mud's "REEEEEEEOW" cover of About a Girl. Maybe the worst real song I've heard ever. Say what you will about Kurt Kobain, but the dude wasn't doing a lot of complicated vocal stuff. This rear end in a top hat is straining like he's holding in a poo poo the entire time.

This has to be some kind of parody, right? Like the band recorded it as a goof and the sound engineer accidentally left the tape rolling.

To be frank, if you've heard a few of their songs and haven't liked any...none? I like them less and less myself the more I hear. :shrug:

The band itself is really good but the singer’s voice just isn’t the right fit for most of the songs they cover.

I think that's the main issue. I see they have a few covers of rock songs and that could work, but she's just not cut out to be a metal singer.

Yeah, I agree. Contrast their version of Toxicity with this one by their friends and sometimes collaborators (which, granted, has 3 vocalists):

How do you feel about Chipmunks covers

They had to change the lyrics of that cover somewhat so it wasn't so obviously about crystal meth and loving but it still has the line about "falling asleep inside you" lol

I've always loved the KLF's remix as well:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsAVx0u9Cw4

It's a mishmash of the weirdest fuckin' collection of samples but the KLF was always more of a dadaist art experiment than a serious musical act. I'm pretty sure that no one would have thought that a remix/cover of Loadsamoney (Doin' Up the House) by Harry Enfield or I Found Lovin' by Steve Walsh was a good idea but :shrug: there it is

Pat Boone made a living off making white versions of great songs by Black artists. Then he'd land higher on the Billboard charts with these abominations.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFxTvffJqOg

If he wasn't lily white enough, Boone raised his children with even less rock and roll and of course was quite right wing religiously. He did show a hint of personality once, recording In a Metal Mood (his cover of Holy Diver is something )but right wing religious people have no sense of humor and made Boone apologize.

e: Here's the whole In a Metal Mood playlis

John Stamos covers Dennis Wilson's Forever.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ti8-vEM3U8

This version was actually on a 1990s Beach Boys record because Mike Love is a terrible person.
