Well, at least the band looked like they had fun doing these covers. That counts for something, right? RIGHT!?

Our Last Night, bless their souls, love to put their own spin on songs when they cover them. Usually known for their mainstream post-hardcore flavour, they've decided to break their own rules and show us songs that should most likely never be covered... by covering them. Right.

Well "covering" would be a little too generous.

This fifteen song medley, if it can be called that, was posted to their YouTube channel and definitely presents songs that should never, ever be covered in this musical style. From Los Del Rio’s 'Macarena' to Blur’s seminal 'Song 2', this "JOCK JAMS!" video should be a cautionary tale and a good indication as to why a lot of those songs should be left alone.

Whether it was a smash hit of the day, or simply because they were outside thinkers of their day, this video should provide you with a good laugh or two. All of it probably with a little bit of cringe. But hey, at least the band seemed to have a lot of fun with this one.
