Wow. I NEVER knew that until now—I've been fostering an obsession with Brel for quite a few weeks now, but now that I just listened to Le Moribond it's really obvious. Especially since Brel is sprightly in talking about death, saying how he drank and danced in life, whereas the English covers are just dire. The only thing they have in common with the original is the music.

But surely, SonicExpressway, Scott Walker did him justice in translation? I would've never discovered Brel if not for him! (Granted, the translated chorus of "Jackie" makes me cringe, but the rest is really quite good.)
Well, I think it's one of good covers I have heard, despite several lyrical missteps in it.

Killswitch Engage - Holy Diver

the most offensive cover my ears ever suffered

What's offensive about it? It's pretty much like the original with a different singer is it not? There's no major stylistic change.

uigh that's what i thought up until like a minute into it when the screaming and the breakdowns started.

Ah yeah, I forgot about that. I clearly don't listen to it regularly.

Just discovered Bono's cover of Hallelujah. Unbelievably bad.

Lara Fabian's ''I Will Love Again'' is one of my all-time favorite songs and this girl here killed it:

I guess this one is by far the worst. And note that they just altered the classic verse 'I hope I die before I get old' to 'I hope I don't die before I get old'!

Jeeeeeeez that's horrible! Ok, not that I'd expect much from Hilary Duff, but seriously!

I had never heard those Jacques Brel rip-offs, and I wish I hadn't now. Some of the versions of 'Ne me quitte pas' ('If you leave me') aren't too bad, but nothing can equal Brel.

'Behind Blue Eyes' by Limp Bizkit is also one of my most hated ones. The same goes for the cover they did for the MTV Icon Metallica show.

This awful screamo band Confide covering "Such Great Heights." I like the song but I never thought I'd hear a cover of it that would make me wish the perpetrators would be penciled in for a visit from the angel of death.

Britney Spears's remake of *(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction* is extremely cringe-worthy.
