Rapper T-Pain has released a mangled cover of Lorde's hit single Royals.
Selena Gomez, a group of wannabe Auckland lawyers, banjo-weilding bands wearing beanies and even one-hit wonder Rebecca Black have covered Lorde's hit single Royals with varying levels of success.
Almost all of them can't live up to the Grammy-winning original, which the singer herself admits is a hard song tocover.
But AutoTune-loving rapper T-Pain has provided what might just be the worst Royals cover yet, with an eardrum-wearying rendition that most will struggle to make it all the way through.
"Please quit making music" is the top comment on T-Pain's YouTube version of his cover, which changes Lorde's catchy chorus to:
"Seems like yesterday we was drinking Crown Royals, We don't really give a f*** They try to hate on us I just party on my bus.
Let me see you get loose, girl Everything is on me So, n*****, come through Let me live that fantasy."
T-Pain includes plenty of AutoTuned robotic warbling - a signature style he's known for - over Lorde's vocal hooks.
T-Pain had a couple of hits in 2005 with the songs I'm 'nLuv (Wit a Stripper) and the No. 1 single Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin'), and followed them up with a No. 1 album with 2007's Epiphany.
