Official New Worst. Cover. Ever.

I was watching SNL for purely inertial reasons this weekend, and eventual trivia-fodder Scissor Sisters performed their discofied version of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb." It was the most Not Good thing I've heard in a long time. There's a 30-second sample on their Amazon listing, which doesn't quite underscore the horror of sitting through all 37 years that it took them to finish the song live. Not to mention the halter-top jump suit their lead singer sported.

Fittingly, the band also has a tune titled "Music Is The Victim." In this case, Music, Roger Waters, and everyone too dumb to just boop-boop their Tivo to SNL's news should be filing a civil suit against Scissor Sisters, for making us experience the sonic equivalent of being Kobe Bryant's chamber maid.
