Best/Worst Cover of a Song

The best cover all time is one of the best rock 'n roll songs of all time:

Hendrix version of "All Along the Watchtower."

Worst -- William Shatner, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds".

Can't even carry a tune and sounds like Captian Kirk reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.

Of course there's also Shatner's cover of "Mr. Tamborine Man" where it sounds like he's stalking the poor guy! Only in the 60's...must have been the drugs.

You forgot Pat Boone's rendition of "Smoke on the Water."

Cheers!

No matter how I tried I couldn't come up with better ones.
