HONEY DON’T
Cheap Trick covering “A Day in the Life”
Nothing against Cheap Trick, but nobody should get any of the words wrong to this song.
— “I read the news today, oh boy. The English Army had just…made the grade.”
Not quite, guys.

Steve Lukather covering “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”
Lukather is a former member of the band Toto. He should just stick to what he knows — “Africa”.
HONEY DON’T
David Lee Roth performing “I’ve Just Seen a Face”
Outside of Van Halen, Roth never did anything worthwhile. This is just another one of those non-worthwhile moments.
HONEY DON’T
Danielle Dax singing “Tomorrow Never Knows”
Judging by the comments on this video, people seem to really like this artist/video/cover. Or those people are just simply crazy. My guess is the latter…
HONEY DON’T
Pearl Jam covering “I’ve Got a Feeling”
Eddie Vedder just needs to stay away from the Beatles altogether. And after a while I can’t tell if he forgets the words or just feels cool enough to change them.
HONEY DON’T
Steve Martin singing “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer”
I love Steve Martin, but I definitely don’t love this. Not only is this song/scene bad, but this entire movie is horrible.
The lone highlight is Billy Preston as Sgt. Pepper, and even that is pretty bizarre.
HONEY DON’T
James Blunt covering “Rocky Raccoon”
Quite simply, a terrible cover by a terrible singer. Not many people have been successful at covering this quirky tune — then again, not many have tried. Jack Johnson did a hell of a job though.

HONEY DON’T
Freddie & The Dreamers performing “Run For Your Life”
It’s all well and good until the :52 mark, when Freddie starts into a Joker laugh and begins jumping around the stage like a lunatic.

The Spiders performing “Daytripper”
The singing would easily make it a “Honey Don’t”, but the dancing more than made up for it.
HONEY DON’T
Some loser on American Idol singing “Come Together”
Please stop doing this. Thank you.
HONEY DON’T
The Beatles’ tunes in commercials
There are dozens of them out there, but this one is pretty awful. Unfortunately, it’s to be expected — and it will only get worse as 9-9-09 approaches.
HONEY DON’T
Jackie and Roy perform “The Word”
The only highlight in this performance is the bass player with the glasses and sweet sideburns.
Other than that, just plain awful.
HONEY DON’T
Megadeth singing “My Sweet Lord” (or in this case “Argentina”)
I don’t know what’s worse - the horrid singing, or the fact that Dave Mustaine changed some of the lyrics. Last I checked “Yo Argentina rules!” is not part of the song…
HONEY DON’T
Matchbox Twenty performing “She Came In Through The Bathroom Window”
Oh God. There’s nothing worse than a non-rock band trying to act like a rock band. Not only does Matchbox Twenty (who, I admit, I enjoyed in the mid-90s) embed this Beatles cover within the horrible tune “Bright Lights”, but they also try to jam at the very end of the song. Rob Thomas and the boys have been mentioned here before for their cover of “Don’t Let Me Down”, but this is a far cry from that.
Joe Cocker needs to give them some pointers.
HONEY DON’T
Cheap Trick covering The Beatles
To the washed up/hack musicians out there who were popular 20 years ago and now play summer festivals for a living, please - for the love of God - stop resorting to Beatles covers to save your dwindling careers. Case in point, Cheap Trick wanting to bring a Sgt. Peppers extravaganza to Vegas.
Here’s a clip of Cheap Trick, with some other unknown artists, performing “All You Need is Love.” Also, check out their covers of “Daytripper” and “A Day in the Life.”
Please stop. Please.
Sincerely, RKB
