What is the worst remake of a song ever? And why?

This one is easy. Seether remaking Wham's 1984 song "Careless Whisper. " They get double points for not only remaking a song, but also remaking an entire band; Nirvana.

Phil Collins - Groovy Kind of Love. He not only slows the tempo to a dirge, but gets the lyrics wrong, changing "if the world would shatter I don't care" (because I am deliriously happy) to "my whole world is shattered, I don't care" (completely the opposite). Just awful on many levels, and I like Phil Collins in general.

I would give that popularity to "the Petshops boys". In March 1991, a cover of U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name". Absolute waste of a fantastic song.

Just did not suit their voices, style and image.

I would have to say Pantera's cover of "Bridge over troubled water" (Originally done by Simon & Garfunkel) was pretty bad. Saw them live once in Indianapolis, they closed with this song. It was wierd.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
