This video of Justin Bieber covering Johnny Cash will ruin your day

If you’re a Johnny Cash fan, we’re wagering you’ve got a one finger salute ready to go on the off-chance you run into Justin Bieber. And in that case, avert your eyes and ears, because the chronically shirtless pop star has inexplicably decided to cover Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire.”

Luckily, the kind of people that would join the God, if you give us back Johnny Cash, you can have Justin Bieber group on Facebook are spared the full song, since the Biebs’ collaboration with Khalil Amir Sharieff is limited to Instagram’s maximum 15-seconds.

Unfortunately, that’s just enough time to watch them giggle and smirk their way through its chorus. Let’s just say that Bieber’s instrumental noodling on the Kansas classic “Dust in the Wind” from two weeks back was far less painful (and dare we say… kind of pleasant?).

Need a palate cleanser? Here’s Dragonforce’s cover of “Ring of Fire,” which while not at all good, is at least hilarious enough to get you grinning again.
