I whole-heartedly agree with that! Poor Don McLean, and his one and only good song completely butchered by that...wow, there are no appropriate insults for that woman anymore. They've all been used. When it was on the radio -all- the time, and people would sing it "because it's such a good thing!" I wanted to cry. I think I actually did a couple of times. It was horrible. I had spent the whole summer before listening to that song over and over, because it was uber-fantastic in my...oh, twelve year old head, and then Madonna had to do it, and I had to tell people, "Guys! It's not -her- song! It's a cover!" and no one believed me until they heard a DJ say it on the radio. I went to school with idiots.
Sorry, I ranted a bit. It's an awesome song that got covered by a hack.

So someone, who has recorded a few dozen truly classic pop songs across their career, is dismissed as a hack for doing one shitty cover?
That's fucking idiotic.
BeoPuppy:
I usually dismiss her for writing a whole host of insipid pop ditties.
Is that somehow better?
valley_parade:
So hey, how about that time Korn played "One" on national tee-vee for all to hear?
Kai:
One as in the Harry Nilsson song...?
Johnny C:
I think he means the U2 song.
