Music that does NOT translate well to other genres/instruments

Of course, this is completely my personal opinion, but it is my blog.   So here is my short list so far.  My plan is to update this post as I come across more atrocities such as:

Metallica's "Master of Puppets" on Piano

I was surprised to have found this video on someone's facebook post as something they enjoyed.  Enjoyment is not what I got from watching this.

Paul Anka's Big Band Version of “Smells Like Team Spirit” by Nirvana


Okay, so it is possible that this arrangement might have worked had the original version never been heard by the listener.... but since I am familiar with the original, this version 'smells like something else'.
