How about songs you never want to hear covered/sampled ever again??

“I Want You Back,” or really any song by the Jackson 5, and “I Will Survive.”

Someone like Johnny Cash who has a deep, dark gravely kind of voice doing a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m on Fire.”

I **do not** need to hear Dolly Parton’s up tempo, bluegrass style cover of REO Speedwagon’s “Time For Me to Fly” ever again. I mean it. Somebody plays that around me and I’m gonna go postal!
