Suggs murdered Cecilia and I'm Only Sleeping with his cod reggae shenanigans.
I'm sure UB40 have butchered loads too.

Mary J Blige and George Michael's joint conspiracy to massacre the towering work that is Stevie Wonder's "As."
sentence: death (applied for Mr Michael, suspended for Ms Blige on condition that she starts making some decent records and recovers her form from the 'In My Life' era.)

Rolf Harris killed "stairway to heaven"

As someone who considers Led Zeppelin to be my all-time favourite band, I can safely say that I would rather listen to William Shatner's entire back catalogue than hear Rolf's version of 'Stairway To Heaven'.
It was absolute, total and utter COCK!!!!!!!!!!

Wrong again - Harris improved Led Zepp's worst song and made it fun.

I've got a really odd album called 'In My Life - a tribute to George Martin'. It's full of awful covers of Beatles tunes by his awful friends.
It has to be heard to be fully appreciated, but - whatever you think of the Beatles - can you imagine the horror of A Hard Day's Night by Goldie Hawn, Jim Carrey doing I Am The Walrus or Bill Connolly joshing his way through Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite?
It is slightly reprieved at the death with a strangely affecting In My Life, narrated in finest faux-Scots by Sean Connery.
'There are plashes I remember..'

That made me
absolute pile of gash.
Absolutely! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. What really irked me was how quite a few of the "stars" really milked the histrionic life out of their one line - especially Bono, but then he does that with EVERY line he sings.

Or what about the album by William Shatner, in which the erstwhile Captain Kirk mumbles his way through the lyrics of 60s classics to an orchestral accompaniment? So bad it's good!

Are you on about the one with Common People at the start? Top album! And its not all covers either
Now sure. The only track I've heard is (I think) "Mr. Tambourine Man". Is that it?

Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds is a particular "highlight."

Peter and the Test Tube Babies did a whole album of Stock, Aitken and Waterman cover versions - aptly titled 'The Shit Factory'.

Next to the horror of that thing about to be unleashed on the world, it's nothing, but the lasses vocal on the Fiery Furnace's cover of the Fall's wintery classic 'Winter' is wrong wrong wrong
