Avril Lavigne’s cover of ‘How You Remind Me’ manages to be worse than the original

Blame the Japanese for this tragedy. Avril Lavigne has covered Nickelback’s break-out song for the anime film One Piece Film: Z and audio of it was found on iTunes Japan. It wasn’t long before it took the non-Japanese internet by storm.

The cover manages to take an already drab song and turn it into a jazz-infused adult contemporary sleeping pill. There’s even some mournful piano, in case you were looking for something to play at the next funeral you attend.

In case you can’t get enough Chavril, Lavigne and her Sk8er Boi Chad Kroeger have recorded a duet for her upcoming album. (And then we wonder why the terrorists hate us.)
