Great songs musically ruined by singers or lyrics

I was thinking about this the other day while sitting in traffic and two songs came immediately to mind

In between days - the cure

I know calling out Robert Smith for shite vocals or shite lyrics is the most obvious thing ever but this song is especially egregious. Great 80s jangly guitar, sweet sweeping chords on the synth and a fun dance drum beat with a giant turd of robert smith right in the middle of it

Heaven Knows I am miserable now - The Smiths

Johnny Marr should have murdered Morrissey for this atrocity. The guitar tone in the opening and the mastery exhibited in the bridge are exquisite and then Morrisey takes the makings of a fantastic 80s pop song and disgraces it with his awful singing of garbage like this:

quote:

---

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

[Refrain 1]
In my life, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die?

[Verse 2]
Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

[Refrain 1]
In my life, oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or I die?

[Verse 3]
What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
"Oh, you've been in the house too long", she said
And I naturally fled

[Refrain 2]
In my life, why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?

[Verse 4]
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
"Oh, you've been in the house too long", she said
And I naturally fled

[Refrain 1]
In my life, oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or I die?

There are probably better examples of The Cure or The Smiths music ruined by the frontmen.

Are there any examples of this type of tomfoolery from other bands that stick out to you?
