So I was watching Fuse for some reason the other day, and I started watching some sort of top 10 or 20 video's out right now thing they had on. All the sudden, I hear the opening chords of "Kiss Me" by Six Pence None the Richer . I was like wtf is this doing on here? But I soon realized it wasn't the beginning of their video.
I waited for Leigh Bingham Nash's lovely voice to come in and charm me with it's sweet melodies when suddenly I was assulted by a high pitch whiny male voice that seemed eerily familiar. For the first second or so I sort of busted out laughing at it but then this quickly turned into nausea. Now disgusted by the initial sound I continued to torture myself by watching the rest to see who just ruined this song. It was none other than New Found Glory. I thought I had been rid of them. I hadn't heard anything from them in a few years, and it seemed most pop punk bands had fallen off the radar or morphed into some sort of Emo band.
Alas it was true they were back (which is offensive enough) but then they had to kick it up a notch and go and butcher "Kiss Me". Turning the once cute and likeable song into a heap of whiny modern garbage.

I'd like to submit this into the argument:
Original:

Shitty screamo version:

And just to balance it out...
Good cover version of same song:

Another bad cover (although I heard this version before hearing the original):

But what about when a cover actually outdoes the original?
