Inspired by the thread in which I was assfucked by Johnny C, I challenge you, ladies and gents of the forum, to a duel TO THE DEATH to see who can do the best/worst cover of any semi-well-known song.

My first challenge to you: Chasing Cars

P.S. EUGENE PROMISED ME HE'D DO THIS SO EVERYBODY SHOULD HARRASS HIM MERCILESSLY UNTIL HE DOES

Would the Christmas CD I made with my sister count? I could definitely upload that.

Oh, wait, I don't have it on this computer. Damn.

Ballard · « **Reply #2 on:** 08 Feb 2008, 00:58 »

Tomorrow after school. That's in about 16 hours guys.

You can feel free to fling shit at me if I do not deliver by then.

Can't sing worth a shit + not very good on guitar = I AM IN.

That was freaking fantastic.

If I played some sort of instrument I might try this. I guess I could fiddle around with Audacity and see if I can mix up a couple of tracks and create some awesomeness...

Hey uh. You guys. What happened. FUCKING HOP TO.

GenericName · « **Reply #6 on:** 12 Feb 2008, 09:52 »

Mmh, I enjoyed that 100x more than i enjoy the song normally.

I'll put something together if I can get a mic working/ people out of my house.

Patrick · « **Reply #7 on:** 12 Feb 2008, 09:57 »

No ifs, ands, or buts, I was promised at least two covers and I have not seen delivery and it's almost been a week.

Ballard · « **Reply #8 on:** 12 Feb 2008, 15:06 »

Yeah I fucking fail. I'll see what I can do but chances are I'm just going to hope people forget about this. Too busy at the moment.

Liz · « **Reply #9 on:** 12 Feb 2008, 15:14 »

We Will Not Forget.

Get to it, slacker.

dalconnsuch · « **Reply #10 on:** 12 Feb 2008, 15:55 »

i did a lovely shit cover of "ring of fire" using a kazoo

Lines · « **Reply #11 on:** 12 Feb 2008, 16:55 »

Can this be done acapella? Or do I have to at least try to learn how to make Garage Band music? But then again, this is for the WORST cover, so maybe I should go for it! We'll see.

Ocarina654 · « **Reply #12 on:** 12 Feb 2008, 17:13 »

Sometime in the near future (by friday) expect a cover from me.

imapiratearg · « **Reply #13 on:** 12 Feb 2008, 21:34 »

Alright, guys. I am participating this time around. Probably by the end of this week, I shall have a cover of "Pride (In the Name of Love)" by U2 all done. I really hate U2, and I think I could do a better job at it.

Patrick · « **Reply #14 on:** 13 Feb 2008, 01:06 »

dalconnsuch and imapiratearg: I appreciate your enthusiasm, but guys the challenge is "Chasing Cars"

godinpants that was pretty much the most amazing thing ever.

I've been sick to the point where breathing wasn't an option. I'll get on it eventually.

I did a pretty awful cover of "last christmas" once. I think I deleted it.

If I just submit 311 doing the Cure's "Love Song" will I automatically win?

psyne · « **Reply #19 on:** 13 Feb 2008, 10:56 »

Yeah, since that's a terrible cover of Chasing Cars. They even get the words all wrong.

Liz · « **Reply #20 on:** 13 Feb 2008, 10:58 »

YOU must be the one to do the cover. Don't cheat.

Gemmwah · « **Reply #21 on:** 13 Feb 2008, 11:47 »

Most amazing idea for a thread ever.

Luke C · « **Reply #22 on:** 13 Feb 2008, 11:57 »

I think Avril Lavigne already won this thread when she covered Chop Suey.

Oh, I see. I guess I misunderstood. I assumed the challenge was "Who can make the worst cover of any song of your choice."

Liz · « **Reply #26 on:** 13 Feb 2008, 13:09 »

I wish I could afford I keyboard. I would make sweet songs with that thing.

Lines · « **Reply #27 on:** 13 Feb 2008, 13:26 »

Well, if you had a Mac, you could use the little tiny version that Garage Band gives you, but noooooo. (I have actually never used said keyboard because I don't really get it.)

Do it vocally. Like that thing Slick posted in the voices thread. Or bang on things. Anything can be an instrument! Just don't go banging on animals and people for sounds, because that's not nice!

We need a couple more challengers for "Chasing Cars" before we start another challenge, but eh. Looks like some lazyasses aren't going to do it. So hell, go for it.

imapiratearg · « **Reply #29 on:** 13 Feb 2008, 13:46 »

What if I did both? Thus, the new challenge would be the U2 song.

I do not own a Mac, also the onscreen keyboard wouldn't work too well as you can't really use it like a real keyboard.

Also all vocals won't really work for me as I'm not exactly the master at layering tracks and stuff.

Gemmwah · « **Reply #31 on:** 13 Feb 2008, 14:09 »

I'll do Chasing Cars!

Guys, you gots to suck it up and do the first challenge before you get going on the next one!

roulettescars · « **Reply #32 on:** 13 Feb 2008, 14:30 »

If we get a song that I actually have heard of/am aware of at all I might give it a go. I have lots of free time.

Johnny C · « **Reply #33 on:** 13 Feb 2008, 14:31 »

Youtube! Myspace! Etcetera!

Pride (In the Name of Love)

Tada!

You, my friend, are a dirty cheater.

imapiratearg · « **Reply #36 on:** 13 Feb 2008, 14:45 »

I'm not cheating. I was putting those links up so people could hear the originals. I will do my versions when I get my acoustic back. Which should be by the end of the week, hopefully.

Liz · « **Reply #37 on:** 13 Feb 2008, 14:54 »

Yeah, mmhmm, that's what they all say.

Lines · « **Reply #38 on:** 13 Feb 2008, 16:50 »

You just don't want others to make worse mixes than you!

But actually, if you don't know the song, you should just make a cover of it anyways. This is the "Let's see who can do the shittiest cover" thread. So really, he was doing you a favor!

Johnny C · « **Reply #39 on:** 13 Feb 2008, 18:14 »

I might actually do this later tonight.

I have never actually seen the video for this until now, and it is kindof disappointing.

I am proud to announce that I am finally working on this and will hopefully have it recorded by Friday.

Or whenever my friend lets me use his mic.

TheTank · « **Reply #44 on:** 16 Feb 2008, 15:07 »

So I didn't realize this was just chasing cars before I recorded this so....

Me doing Glycerine by Bush:

fire away!

(I know it's in the wrong key, and a few of the words are off. My excuse: shitty cover contest.)

imapiratearg · « **Reply #45 on:** 16 Feb 2008, 21:29 »

I like your voice!

TheTank · « **Reply #46 on:** 17 Feb 2008, 14:56 »

Thanks, pirate!

I had some more time today, so I knocked this out -- I'm not as happy with the guitar or the vocals as I was with glycerine, but I figured I'd post it, since it's more relevant to the "contest"...

Chasing Cars

GenericName · « **Reply #47 on:** 17 Feb 2008, 15:34 »

Damn. My cover sounds a lot like TheTank's, except that my voice is a squillion times worse.

I'll spend some extra time finding a backup vocalist or something, kay guys?

Johnny C · « **Reply #48 on:** 18 Feb 2008, 13:09 »

Here is "Chasing Cars."
