Most unlikely & bizarre duets.

[Lidge]

Name your most unlikely pairings in a duet and give a thumbs up or down rating on the song.

Here's a couple of odd ones to kick things off:

Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue (Where the wild roses grow)
Marc Bolan & Cilla Black (Life's a Gas)

 

[Brittany]

Can't think of any at the minute but Nick and Kylies duet worked extremely well and that is a wonderful song

Jennifer Warne and Joe Cocker

I agree Brittany top song...just played it 5 minutes ago actually..haunting song

 

[materamagic]

Roy Orbison and K.D Lang


Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson. Bizarre that Paul's voice meshed so well with Michaels, if you listen to their vocalisation on "The Girl Is Mine" I know its sappy but listening to the vocals and "Say Say Say" brought the best out of Paul's voice, when he goes R and B which is one of his less favoured styles throught his career which is a shame because he can sing any style and pull it off.

What about Iggy Pop and that chick, whatsername. Tom Jones and That chick from the Cardigans.

The best duets for me were:

David Bowie and Freddie Mercury

Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks

 

[Constipated Duck]

Ritchie Blackmore and Candice Night

Orson Welles and Manowar

 

[Mr Magoo]

Lita Ford & Ozzy Osbourne - Close my eyes

Kate Pierson (sp?) from the B52's. IIRC the song was Candy.

A couple more...

* Mary J Blige with Bono (One)

* Gwyneth Paltrow & Huey Lewis (Duets movie/soundtrack) - a rather poor effort

* Eminem with Elton John

* Eminem with Dido

* Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) & Ronan Keating (Father & Son)

 

[Captain Sensible]

John Baldry and Kathi MacDonald's You've Lost That Loving Feeling is just about my favorite duet of all time.

 

[Monkster]

* Eminem with Dido

That was a sample of "Thank You" rather than a duet.

Surprised no one has mentioned Run Dmc/Aerosmith - Walk This Way, absolutly top song, also inspired the soundtrack for Judgement Night, crap movie but top soundtrack.

 

[Roddy]

Queen and Bowie was an interesting one. Very successful too, creatively and commercially. LOVE that song.......
