You forgot Back in Black - AC/DC, which would neatly replace Bittersweet Symphony.

and throw out Radiohead and Alice Cooper.

Land Down Under - Men at Work
Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon

You guys call those songs the “worst” covers?!

Hah! Hah, I say! Hah!!

No song recorded, past present or future, could ever hope to top the depths of worst-cover-ness reached by William Shatner singing “Mister Tambourine Man” and “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”!!

Don’t forget his cover of “Rocketman”!
