why do artists feel the need to re-make old songs? (and do it badly)

excuse me for a minute while I go off.

this radio station feels the need to torture me with the re-make of Last Kiss (I think its Pearl Jam)

it pisses me off.

first: some of the words have been changed, and I don't mean just little words, I'm talking about significant words.

ex: original - "I found the love I knew I would miss"
new - "I found the love I knew I have/had missed"

hello?!?! change the meaning of the song why don't you.

ex 2: I hate the fact that the new one he says "something warm flowing through my eyes"
the original says "IN my eyes"
um tears don't run 'through' your eyes last time I checked.

second: this song should be a testiment to wearing seatbelts, she went through the windshield and thats why she died. if she had had her seatbelt on it wouldnt have happened.
the original song I have on a 45, I'm not sure of the original year but it was 70s or earlier so people didn't wear seatbelts. that was just normal.

third: I just think its awful. like nails on a chalkboard awful. maybe some people love singing to sound like a dying cat but not me. *cringes*

okay I'm going to stop before I get too upset.

I must say though that Uncle Kracker's re-make of Drift Away is okay. It's not great but not bad.

my advice to anyone who wants to re-make a song: Don't change the freakin words!!!!

Dude. Hands down the Worst. Cover. Ever? Avril Lavigne performing Fuel by Metallica, at a tribute show.

AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.

It sounded like poking several hundred dying cats. I can't wait till she's fallen off the face of the earth and is finally one of those "what ever happened to... who cares?" people. *bounces gleefully*

the icon is for her, not you :oP
