KoRn Dude Covers Lil Wayne

thumbnail icon: KoRn Dude Covers Lil Wayne

Jonathan Davis and Lil Wayne both have dreads and tattoos, so this is a really good idea everybody. The KoRN singer, who appears to be on a one-man mission to humiliate himself as thoroughly as possible through the art of the terrible cover, has moved on from ooom-da-da-ooom-da-da-eema-ing Radiohead and the Cure to something more zeitgeist friendly. Here's his take on the recently SNLed "Got Money." It's like a KoRn song, but worse, and with autotuner. Enjoy.

He be clapping all night in this bitch. That's too much fail for one man alone, so it's worth mentioning this was a collaboration with Slipknot's Jim Root and Davis's side band The SFA. Jonathan's working on an album with the SFA, in fact. We'll be sure not to keep you posted. But still, this would be a pretty great track to bring down a party, so go ahead and download it at jdsfa.com for the small price of an email and your dignity.

I dreamed I heard this song off in the distance, wafting from the tinny speakers of an old tape deck on the crummy table inside a Wasilla meth lab. The year was 1998 - life was simple back then and rap and rock co-existed in a peaceful harmony I'll soon call nu-metal, but when done right, is there really anything conceptually better - I give major "props" to the Tool from Slipknot on getting involved - bros before hoes, make it rain so on and so forth.

Anybody else think Lil Wayne looks like Jim Morrison when he wears sun glasses and hangs off the mic stand?

KoRn has always had an affinity for hip-hop. They discovered Limp Bizkit, did songs with Ice Cube and Nas, did that Twisted Transistor video with David Banner Snoop and Lil Jon.

So this isn't really that surprising. But, there's not really an excuse to be fucking up lyrics. Especially in the chorus.

I just... I don't know what to say. He sounds like Ben Folds a lot of the time. Which is funny all on it's own. And sad.

Yeah. Um.
