What is Up with These Cover Songs

First, I heard the cover of Careless Whisper by Seether - a "post grunge" band that I know by their hits "Fine Again" and "Broken" (with Amy Lee) - the other day. WTF? It totally is not cool to hear these greezy white guys talking about the dance floor. George Michael must be hurtin' for cash.

But that doesn't end the annoying covers. This morning, I heard a haunting lyric - "shorty want a thug"... you may remember my post about this disturbing song, and now it's been remade, metal style, by some Breaking Benjamin wannabe called Framing Hanley.

Jaysus, canna they come up with their own crap?!?
