REVIEW: Buckcherry Covers Icona Pop's 'I Love it' [LISTEN]

California hard rock band Buckcherry has released a cover of Icona Pop's hit "I Love It," cleverly re-titled "Say F**k It," which you can listen to below. The song will be featured on Buckcherry's upcoming EP F**k, which will be the band's fourth EP and first release since their Confessions LP from 2013.

Though the original version of "I Love It" is an incredibly annoying song (even co-writer Charli XCX feels that way), at least it wasn't a moronic, misogynist bro-metal anthem. I wouldn't include "I Love It" among the worst songs I've ever heard, but "Say F**k It" earned that unfortunate distinction from pretty much the second it started. From the sub-Weird Al re-titling to the Neanderthal guitars to the horrifically produced vocals, everything about it is just bad news.

I honestly didn't expect much to begin with, but the subtle lyrical changes in the song's bridge make it so much worse.

Here's the original line:
"You're from the '70s, but I'm a '90s b***h"

Here's Buckcherry's re-write:
"I'm from the '70s, and you're a crazy b***h"

I always find it pretty boring when artists change the lyrics to a song written by someone of the opposite sex, but Buckcherry managed to transcend "boring" and go right for "misogynist." There was the slight possibility that hearing lead vocalist Josh Todd sing "I'm a '90s b***h" could have been a little bit interesting, but that was apparently out of the question, since he's a man, and a man can't be a b***h.
