Miley Cyrus, who you’ll remember for being the more musically gifted daughter of Billy Ray, has always been a bit of a tough nut for hecklerspray to crack. Sometimes she’ll be caterwauling her way through some mawkish pop gumph about being in love at the age of eleven and others she’ll be smoking a bong and telling people to stick things up their private parts.
She’s a testing one.
Regardless, the young Miss Cyrus’ version of Nirvana’s?Smells Like Teen Spirit has been named the worst cover ever in a new magazine poll.
In a quite frankly unnecessary poll, Rolling Stone readers voted the teenager’s rendition of the grunge anthem the worst of the crap, the bottom of the bottom, the arse-pit of arse-pits. It even managed to come off worse than Madonna’s hilariously woeful reimagining American Pie and Limp Bizkit’s cover of The Who’s Behind Blue Eyes in which Fred Durst spends the opening bars laughing into the eyes of a dying child.
It’s a real bum-note for Cyrus who recently introduced Smells Like Teen Spirit to her live set, telling her screaming legion of Mousekateers, “I want to play a song by one of the artists that inspired me. Without them [Nirvana] I wouldn’t be here. They are the ones who gave me the strength and courage to do this.”
The surviving members of Nirvana are said to be considering legal action for the implication that her career is somehow their fault.
Limp Bizkit came in second and Madonna third, while Sweet Child O’ Mine by Sheryl Crow (covering an already dreadful song) and Britney Spears’ suicide-inducing rendition of the Rolling Stones’ (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction finished off the top five with a glac? cherry made of human faeces.
But let’s face it. You didn’t come here to find out what songs made it into that particular top five. You only clicked the link to see that hideous rendition all over again.
Feel the burn.
