Most unusual musical pairing?

[lizziegrace]

For me, it's the Little Drummer Boy performed by David Bowie and Bing Crosby.

Next?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

1. I just heard that song for about the tenth time today.

It's very, very odd, but it works for me. Somehow. ;)

[lizziegrace]

2. Me too.

And to watch the old clip, it just seemed right at the time.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

3. John Denver & Placido Domingo

never worked for me...

[Taverner]

4. Huey Lewis and the Grateful Dead

Deadheads know of what I speak....

[lizziegrace]

5. That one I missed! n/t

[ET Awful]

8. Don't forget Hall and Oates w/the Grateful Dead

:P

9/24/88 rainforest benefit. Also had Suzanne Vega and Bruce Hornsby at that show :)

[ghostsofgiants]

6. Rza from Wu-Tang Clan and Cedric from The Mars Volta - "A Day In The Life"

[CatholicEdHead]

7. Entire Pat Boone "In a Metal Mood" CD

[PittPoliSci]

13. winner.

[Strawman]

15. Dio sang bg vocals on his Holy Diver cover

Yeah. That's right up there.

[ET Awful]

9. Hell I have a hard enough time wrapping my mind around Cheryl Crow

and Kid Rock :puke:

[tjdee]

10. Mary J. Blige and U2--and it is just delightful.

For some telethon, they did "One" together, and I was like...uh...huh?

But she just rocked the hell out of that song, it was nuts. Then when I saw them in concert she came out and they did it again. Just really great, sounded great.

[sundog]

18. i love her

u2, not so much... but god... sometimes she amazes me

[KitchenWitch]

11. Tony Bennett and k.d. lang

[tuvor]

12. Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias.

I don't know if time has killed the WTF factor, but when their duet for "To All the Girls I've Loved Before" came out, it just seemed...whatever the opposite of 'brilliantly inspired' is.

[Strawman]

14. Metallica w/Jane Pauley

On her show. That was right out of bizzaro world.

But my initial thought was Bowie/Crosby

[madrchsod]

16. bing crosby and david bowie

sing a christmas song.

[ChoralScholar]

17. I saw a Botox-infused Kenny Rogers with an aging Lionel Richie on TV

the other night. It's a bit of a dichotomy to hear Lionel Richie sing a verse of "The Gambler".

Lionel, have we sunk so low?

[lady raven]

20. That is strange

BUT didn't LR write several of KR's songs?

[fudge stripe cookays]

19. Rod Stewart and Dolly Parton.

I kid you not. I was in the scrapbook store the other day (notoriously famous for cheesy music content), and I heard their version of "Baby It's Cold Outside."

:wtf:
Strange indeed.

[dry99]

21. Nelly and Mr. Faith Hill

whatever the hell his name is.

[KitchenWitch]

22. Elton John and Eminem

[Jamastiene]

23. Circle Jerks with Debbie Gibson. Cringe.

[jonnyblitz]

30. are you serious?

:wow:

[Jamastiene]

31. Yep.

My Circle Jerks CD is in storage, but she definitely sang backup on that one song called "I Wanna Destroy You." It was on their first major label album called Oddities, Abnormalities and Curiosities.

[kwassa]

24. Bono and Frank Sinatra

[dolo amber]

25. Traveling Wilburys - Handle With Care

(or whatever it's called)...when Bob Dylan (who can't sing) and Tom Petty (who can sing occassionally, but not often) do that painful *harmonizing*...? It's not even a matter of taste, it causes me physical distress. Neigh unto a seizure. x(

[DrDan]

26. Los Lobos and the Chieftans

happened to see a clip with these 2 yesterday on Ovation - still wondering why they were together

[Evergreen Emerald]

27. Aretha Franklin and George Michael

[terrya]

28. Michael Jackson and Vincent Price

From "Thriller"

[bif]

29. Mel Torme & Melanie!

I actually saw the album titled "Mel & Melanie". I should have bought the darn thing. What was Mel's agent thinking?!?!??!?!
