Awesome There I Ruined It

Bluegrass Thriller

Bluegrass Thriller

There I Ruined It imagines how people celebrate Halloween in Kentucky by turning Michael Jackson’s megahit Thriller into a bluegrass song. We like to imagine the zombies dancing down the street in overalls and nibbling on straw. Also, it turns out this isn’t the first bluegrass version of the song.

Red Not Chili Peppers

Red Not Chili Peppers

(PG-13: Language) Every band has its fans and detractors. There I Ruined It created this song for people who don’t like the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The track was made using AI tech to emulate Anthony Kiedis’ and John Frusciante’s vocals – but this version of Snow (Hey Oh) has some new (and improved?) lyrics.

Hurtin’ U.S.A.

Hurtin’ U.S.A.

There I Ruined It continues to create insane new versions of songs using AI-generated voices. This time, he took the Nine Inch Nails somg Hurt (Quiet) and combined it with The Beach Boys hit Surfin’ U.S.A. The resulting track is something we like to call Summertime Sadness 2.0.

Pulp Fiction: The Musical

Pulp Fiction: The Musical

(PG-13: Language) Dustin Ballard of There I Ruined It says he’s been hearing music in everything these days. For example, Samuel L. Jackson’s wrathful rants in Pulp Fiction provide the perfect opportunity for Jules to break into song. Honestly, we’d pay good money to see a Quentin Tarantino Broadway musical.

Under Pressure but Only the Gibberish

Under Pressure but Only the Gibberish

The David Bowie and Queen track Under Pressure is one of the greatest rock collaborations ever. But in the hands of There I Ruined It, it’s just a bunch of random noises, gobbledygook, and mumbo jumbo. He did something similarly silly with Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal.

Barbie Girl But with Johnny Cash

Barbie Girl But with Johnny Cash

C’mon Barbie, let’s go party… and take my blues away. There I Ruined It used an AI version of Johnny Cash’s voice to sing this hilarious version of Aqua’s Barbie Girljust in time for the movie to come out. Things truly run off the rails when the Spice Girls show up at the Folsom Prison.

Elvis Likes Big Butts

Elvis Likes Big Butts

Artificial intelligence can be used for good or evil, and we can’t decide which category this falls into. There I Ruined It took an AI trained with Elvis Presley’s voice and programmed it to sing the lyrics to Baby Got Back. To further complicate matters, it’s now set to the tune of Don’t Be Cruel.

All Blue Star

All Blue Star

When There I Ruined It isn’t laying waste to popular songs, he’s experimenting with them like Victor Frankenstein in his laboratory. He created this lovable monster by grafting the DNA of Smashmouth’s All Star onto Eiffel 65’s Blue (Da Ba Dee). Get ready for a bad case of earworms.

Mr. Rogers x The Animals

Mr. Rogers x The Animals

There is a house in this beautywood; they call the rising sun. There I Ruined It proves that there’s no ruining Mr. Rogers with this wonderful, but woefully short mashup of Won’t You Be My Neighbor? with The Animals classic House of the Rising Sun. We wonder what he could do with It’s Such a Good Feeling.

Poker Face: Western Swing Edition

Poker Face: Western Swing Edition

There I Ruined It is back to demolish another popular song – this time taking on Lady Gaga’s hit song Poker Face, and transforming it into something straight out of Texas in the 1940s. If you’re into steel guitar, fiddle, and jangly old pianos, this one is for you.

You Can’t Handle the Toy Story Song

You Can’t Handle the Toy Story Song

Other than the fact that they’re both movies, A Few Good Men and Toy Story have nothing in common. But thanks to the warped mind of There I Ruined It, they now do. Click play and enjoy a new version of You’ve Got a Friend in Me, accompanied by the dulcet tones of Jack Nicholson’s famous “You can’t handle the truth!” scene.

There I Mashed It Up

There I Mashed It Up

When There I Ruined It isn’t making horrible versions of classic songs, they’re creating other kinds of musical mayhem. This brief but awesome mashup combines bits of Bohemian Rhapsody, All-Star, Never Gonna Give You Up, Lose Yourself, and a few other sound snippets. Follow their TikTok feed for more fun.

We Will Rock You: Dixieland Edition

We Will Rock You: Dixieland Edition

Dustin over at There I Ruined It absolutely annihilates another classic song by turning it into the worst version of itself. His terrible Dixieland jazz version of Queen’s We Will Rock You will certainly have Freddie Mercury turning over in his grave.

Smooth Criminal’s Non-Words

Smooth Criminal’s Non-Words

Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie? We’re not quite sure, judging from the sounds of There I Ruined It’s condensed edit of Smooth Criminal, which consists solely of Michael Jackson’s chants, screams, and wails, and none of those pesky lyrics.

Always Look on the Bright Side of North Korea

Always Look on the Bright Side of North Korea

North Korea isn’t known for its sense of humor. But with a little nudge from There I Ruined It, The Central Military Band of the Korean People’s Army is forced into performing the Monty Python song Always Look on the Bright Side of Life from The Meaning of Life. Now try this with Every Sperm Is Sacred.

Down with the Doo-Wop

Down with the Doo-Wop

There I Ruined It continues to live up to their name with another cursed reimagining of a popular song. This time, they took the Disturbed track Down with the Sickness and made it sound like a bubbly 1950s Doo-Wop tune. Love it or hate it, consider supporting their fundraiser for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.

Get Low: Swing Edition

Get Low: Swing Edition

(PG-13: Language) If Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz recorded music back in the 1930s, it might have sounded something like this. There I Ruined It took the 2009 track Get Low and crunked it up swing style. Skeet-skeet that slide whistle!

Creep: Honky Tonky Edition

Creep: Honky Tonky Edition

There I Ruined It lives up to their name again by transforming Radiohead’s 1992 hit Creep into something you might hear coming out of one of Nashville’s Broadway honky tonks at three in the morning. The only thing missing is a cowboy hat atop Thom Yorke’s mop of blonde hair.

We’re Not Gonna Take Mariah Carey Anymore

We’re Not Gonna Take Mariah Carey Anymore

There I Ruined It wants to Un-Ruin a Christmas by donating the proceeds from their holiday fundraiser to Toys for Tots. All you have to do is listen to their new and improved version of Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas as performed by Dee Snider, then open up your wallet and give.

Smells Like K-Pop Spirit

Smells Like K-Pop Spirit

Hello, hello, hello, how low, indeed. There I Ruined It took the Nirvana track Smells Like Teen Spirit and gave it a cringy makeover as a K-Pop song. It’s every bit as stupid and contagious as the idea sounds.

Another One Bites the Tequila

Another One Bites the Tequila

Because truly nothing is sacred to the warped mind behind There I Ruined It, here’s a version of Queen’s Another One Bites the Dust, mashed up with The Champs’ 1958 hit track Tequila, also known as Pee-Wee Herman’s favorite dance song. Clearly, much tequila was consumed when he came up with this idea.

Loser: Square Dance Edition

Loser: Square Dance Edition

There I Ruined It is back to mess with another classic tune, transforming Beck’s 1994 hit Loser into a twangy Bluegrass tune best suited to square dancing. Kill the headlights and put it in neutral! Now Do-si-do and Promenade!

Without Me: Bluegrass Edition

Without Me: Bluegrass Edition

There I Ruined It have outdone themselves, turning Eminem’s Without Me into a twangy bluegrass song that sounds like it could have been the theme to The Beverly Hillbillies or Hee-Haw. We suppose that’s what you get when you start your song with square dance instructions, Marshall.
