The ever charming Ke$ha has sampled Blur's indie classic 'Song 2' on a track from her new album. The track, imaginitively titled 'Woo Hoo', samples the chorus melody of Blur's 1997 hit. It is, quite frankly, horrible.
But of course, pop stars plundering the back catalogues of rock legends is an all too familiar occurence in music. Need a hit of instant credibility? Throw a rock track onto your album or in your setlist on tour. A few guitars and a leather jacket - it's easy right? Yeah, maybe not...
From shameful attempts from the likes of Girls Aloud, Take That and Madonna to modern abominations from The Voice judges and X Factor alumni - they're all here in our gallery. Kings Of Leon, Oasis, Biffy Clyro, The White Stripes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Alice Cooper, Arctic Monkey's and more - no one is safe.
Check out the worst pop covers of all time below - if you have the stomach for it...
