Miley Cyrus makes the list. I do like her cover of Jolene (which is not on the list). |

Jerry Garcia's Bluegrass band "Old and in the Way" decided to cover The Rolling Stones Wild Horses. Sounded great, love the bluegrass version Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

It's almost impossible to listen to the entire song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOwblaKmyVw Miley Cyrus - The Backyard Sessions - "Jolene" Since Miley made the 10 worst cover list for her Lucy version, I thought I would include a nice cover of her godmother, Dolly Parton's, song (stays within country genre) "What Have They Done to My Song, Ma", by Melanie, is possibly the most ironic song to have a bad cover. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnVKGgPpETs |

Don't like the original. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18762 | I was just reminded of two songs in the 70s. (speaking of sad songs and covers) Every actor who wasn't tone deaf was singing "Send in the Clowns". It is suppose to be a sad song, but eventually it just made me feel like throwing a brick at my TV screen. "The Impossible Dream" was another song many singers were covering. I didn't hate it as much but also grew sick of it. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Leonard Cohen when he hears his 30 year old song Hallelujah in every movie and television show and every award show he can't help remember how difficult it was to get the album produced. They interviewed Bruno Ganz about the Hitler memes. He said that he put so much of his soul into that performance that it is difficult to watch it used so lightly. But he said even his wife teases him sometimes, so he has grown to accept it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfkDxF2kn1I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR5q0ajW8Ko original subtitles |

In which category? Personal preference, sad songs, bad cover, or overused? This company does polls to come up with these lists. They are good click-bait. Top 10 Overused Songs In Movies And TV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9L4qL_XKcs |
