Worst. Cover. Ever.

I offered to send my extra copy of Jonathan Coulton’s “Best. Concert. Ever.” CD and DVD to the person who could record the worst JoCo cover in 30-seconds. Here are the entrants and the winner. Gird your ears’ loins.

Dan Beeston had already recorded his attempt to play “Skullcrusher Mountain” and sing at the same time. It’s a monument to one man’s commendable lack of dignity.

@charliewolf recorded something that is not a triumph, nor a success of any size.

@j2n4me recorded a version of “re: Your Brains” that’s better than anything ever recorded by Bright Eyes. And therefor: disqualified.

@JakobBurrows recorded three bad covers for the price of one, leaving a video that runs a full 2:27. Disqualified!

Jason Burrows recorded 30-second cover of “Still Alive” that sounds like a adolescent version of most of the characters from Venture Bros.

@schult recorded two entries, one that I have already forgotten, and one DVD-winning cover of “I Ruined Everything” that distills everything that nobody loved about Tiny Tim into a half-minute jam, then buries it under a flute. Winner!
