(* adopts David Attenborough voice) we must study these monkeys, their habitats and why they choose to shit all over the things we cherish most
1.Take That – Smells Like Teen Spirit
no….no, no….no fucking no…get away from it…get away…fuck no
2. G4 – Creep
hmmm…missing the point much….this is just creepy
3. t.A.T.u – How Soon Is Now
quite rightly, Smiths guitarist Johnn Marr, found t.A.T.u.’s version “just silly”….inexplicably Morrissey considered it magnificent…helium filled chipmunks singing “so i go and i stand on my own, and i leave on my own, and i go home and i cry and i want to die”…poor chipmunks
4. Jessica Simpson – Take My Breath Away
jessica simpsons exists for some reason…i have yet to put nary a finger on it but im sure il crack it one day…this song is bearable due to the fact that there is a strange lad singing over it in the clip above…jajajajajajajaja
5. Celine Dion and Anastasia – You Shook Me All Night Long
im not sure which is worst…a middle aged woman hopping along on one heel whilst playing air guitar Anastacia over sing her way through this dirge and drivel…
6. Hilary Duff – My Generation
…Hillary and her hilariously accurately chiseled head thought it a good idea to change the lyrics to this masterpiece…”I hope i DONT die before i get old”…she sang..in case any of the children misunderstandeded…do we really need these people swimming in the gene pool?…ah i suppose we do
7. Ronan Keating – Fairytale of New York
Ronan ye fookin fairy..whats this about? sung with all the conviction of a windy pillow
8. Britney Spears – ( I Can’t Get No ) Satisfaction
hey….another poor chipmunk! ye guys should hang
9. Duran Duran – 911 is a joke
ive a good idea, lets make like a socket fingering necrophiliac and dig up old classics and rape them
right…thats enough dismay…..i could only get far enough to give you 9…it was too disturbing for me…there may be some psycological damage…im off for a swim in a puddle for a while…next week…good covers……………ugh
