A song murdered by someone.

Is there a cover version of a song you like by the original artist that has been in your ears truly murdered by a covering artist?
Mine is 'Everybody Knows' by Leonard Cohen, absolutely murdered by Barb Jungr.

Lots of times it seems that there were pressures on them to do songs that made them seem, well, misguided, e.g., Tony Bennett: Tony sings the great hits of today! Ella Fitzgerald sings Beatles stuff, e.g., "Hard Day's Night" And in a different category altogether: Eleanor Rigby by Vanilla Fudge
