For Those About to Schlock…

posted by on July 6 at 15:12 PM

Megan’s post yesterday polling the relative suckiness of Celine Dion versus the Red Hot Chili Peppers (My personal take? Dave Navarro was with the Chili Peppers for an album. The slightest contact with Dave Navarro instantly drains the victim of any past, present, and future claim to righteousness. No saving throw allowed.) brought to light the below video of Celine covering “You Shook Me All Night Long” (provided by Jason Josephes of the (Most Reverend) Blue Moon Tavern).

Wow. I love how Celine stilts around in her six-inch stilletos like a weird Jim Henson creation that has rods controlling its arms and legs. And those hip thrusts? Yikes.

Turns out Celine isn’t the only chanteuse covering AC/DC to give herself a bit of the ol Rock-n-Roll cred. Here’s Shania Twain doing a countrified version of the same song.

I don’t know how many cred points you get, however, when you have to clean up the line “(S)he told me to come, but I was already there” for your audience. The slide guitar take on the solo is kind of nice, though.

The winner, however, is Columbia’s Shakira for her jaw-dropping version of “Back in Black”. It starts off as a slow-burn lounge take on the old standard, then kicks into a bump-and-grind that would shame a Deja Vu pole-dancer. Wipe that thing off when you’re done, Shakira!

Nice ass, though.

Thank god they didn’t touch any of Bon’s songs.

'For Those about to Schlock', that was a real album right?
