See, about twelve years ago, when I was in the depths of teenage humourless-borderline-emo-ismI thought the original recording of "Under the Bridge" to be fair superior. With the benefit of hindsight, and a more mature outlook on music which comes with the realisation that the Red Hot Chilli Peppers are actually pretty shit, I think I prefer the All Saints' version just because it's less up its own arse.

I'm trying to think of other truly awful cover versions nowApart from every cover of a Queen song ever. I actually thought Leona Lewis' version of "Hurt" was OK (in a palpably-not-a-patch-on-the-original sort of way), which just shows that I'm getting old.

It's actually not my fondness for Queen that's the issueIt's the number of idiots who think that covering Queen is a good idea. They were very much of their time and attempting to bring their songs into the 21st century is a fool's errand. As is attempting to sing like Freddie Mercury.

I think the original works if you're 14 years old and still think Billie Joe Armstrong writes "deep" lyricsIf you're not, Cash's version at least delivers the song in a vaguely respectable manner.
Both are, however, inferior to Sad Kermit's interpretation.
