1. Overplayed songs like "Umbrella" and "Beat It"
Mandy Moore, Marié Digby, KC Concepcion, and a hundred other YouTube singers have recorded laid-back renditions of Rihanna's parasol-touting dance hit. Their acoustic style strips away the funky beats and puts the focus on the lyrics, ultimately going overboard with sweetness.

Ending up with the same fate as "Umbrella," the King of Pop's "Beat It" has been remade countless times by a diverse range of artists–from funny guy Weird Al Yankovic to pop punk rockers Fall Out Boy and even TV 'toons Alvin and the Chipmunks. It's safe to say that nothing beats the original!
