Let's give it up to these adventurous folk who took perfectly good songs and added their own "special" flare. They really went for it, but we wish they didn't. 

Here are 9 covers that didn't exactly work. 

"Part of Your World" - Carly Rae Jepson

Every time a Disney movie gets re-released on DVD, Disney finds it necessary to have a young pop star record their version of a classic and include it in the DVD's special features. If only this version could stay buried beneath the sea. Here is what can only be described as a travesty:

"The Time (Dirty Bit)" - The Black Eyed Peas

Fool proof money-making plan: Take a universally loved/recognizable chorus, add lyrics like "I got freaky, freaky, baby. I was chillin with my ladies," and input obligatory synthesized beats. Ta-Da! You've turned an 80's love story into yet another "partying in da club" song. 

"Last Christmas" - Taylor Swift

As if the world needed another "Last Christmas" cover, let alone one from the self-proclaimed perpetually brokenhearted girl. This makes a great addition to the list of needless re-recordings of WHAM's classic, especially if you love whiny pop stars. Let's hope 2013 was the last Christmas we ever heard this on the radio.

"Rich Girl$" - Down with Webster

This "gem," was performed by a (thankfully) relatively unknown Canadian pop/rock group, showing the world that it's hard to produce original material even with 7 band members. The video includes a typical high school party with lots of rapping and red cups. Notice how they added an "$" in the song title, adding that extra "oomph." The band's title is self-fulfilling; down with Webster, please. 

"Africa" - Karl Wolf

You may remember Toto's 80s hit single "Africa" describing a fairly simple love story. Now imagine a shirtless man in a red cap next to a surplus of models on the beach singing this song. The simple formula works again: Find a good song, ruin it, but include a lot of bikinis so it sells. Another 80's classic is destroyed.

"I Love Rock'N'Roll" - Britney Spears

Oops she did it, (hopefully never) again. Britney thought she'd add a little pop flare to this Joan Jett classic. There's not much else to say other than no, just no. 

"We Will Rock You" - Nickelback

Oh boy, here we go. Objectively speaking, this cover isn't as laugh-worthy as the others but c'mon, it's Nickelback. With an article title using the words "Never want to hear," I was obligated to include them in this list somehow. 

"Wonderwall" - One Direction

Brilliant plan: give 5 pre-pubescent boys a guitar and let them butcher "Wonderwall" by the ocean. Let's just say, a beached whale smells better than this sounds. If anyone needs "saving," it's whoever's listening to this cover.

"Don't Stop Believing" - GLEE 

Especially after this cover- I did, in fact, stop believing.
