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.

All of the answers were great and it was hard picking one but this video pushed this answer over the top. This is just horrific.
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.
