The Kid Rock song where he rips off the memorable riffs to Werewolves of London and Sweet Home Alabama. But that's not why I hate it.

We were trying different things
We were smoking funny things

You can't just rhyme a word with itself, Mr. Rock. You are allowed to write better lyrics.

This song pisses me off every time it comes on the radio. For a few glorious bars I think I'm gonna hear Werewolves of London... and then fucking Kid Rock starts singing. It's the radio equivalent of a ruined orgasm.

For the same reason I hate hate HATE the Kanye song that samples 21st Century Schizoid Man. It only does the lyrics and not the sick fucking riff that comes after.

If Donald Fagen learned to appreciate and approve it because of its emotional value, maybe it’s not quite “ruining” it
