WORST Duets of ALL TIME. Absolute WORST.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

Poll question: WORST Duets of ALL TIME. Absolute WORST.

[mark414]

1. that time of my life song from dirty dancing

ugh

[malmapus]

2. Was having a hard time deciding till I saw "anything with Toby Keith"

...

[Stinky The Clown]

55. Hahahahaha .... me too!

[Joe Power]

3. Michael and Paul are TERRIBLE!

But I had to vote for the redneck asshole.

Btw, Elton and Ms. Dee rocked!

[silvermachine]

4. Ozzy & Lita Ford...

..."Close My Eyes Forever". Ugh!

[Left Is Write]

5. Willie and Julio were the first to pop into my head

before I saw the options, so that's what I chose.

[Streetdoc270]

6. Bush and Rumsfeld

Singing 'We got the whole world in our hands'

[sundog]

7. Gwenyth Paltrow & Huey Lewis

:wtf:

if it ain't broke, don't fix it

[NuckinFutz]

56. I liked that one.....n/t

[ET Awful]

8. Ummm, you're forgetting a majorly bad one . . .

Kid Rock & Cheryl Crow?????

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

14. They did a duet?

Yecch.

:evilgrin:

[ET Awful]

21. Yes indeedy, it was nausea inducing

"The Picture"

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. Aerosmith and that fat ass criminal rapper

whoever the hell it was.

DJ MC PhatIceT or something.

[Bossy Monkey]

22. If you're referring to Run-DMC, you are pitifully ill-informed nt

[Rabrrrrrr]

24. That's it! Run-DMC!

And you're right, not a criminal.

I was thinking it was one of the other ones who WAS/IS a criminal.

[mark414]

51. just like the large number of criminal rock stars, jazz artists, pop

singers, etc...

criminals come in every genre...

[jobycom]

25. That one was pretty cool. nt.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

10. How about the aptly titled "Something Stupid" by

Frank Sinatra and Nancy Sinatra, or, as it was slyly known in its day, "The Incest Song."

[Left Is Write]

16. I liked the remake by Raul Malo and Trisha Yearwood.

[sportndandy]

11. Bowie and Bing - Little Drummer Boy

[coloradodem2005]

12. Queen and David Bowie Rocked.

Great song. A little overrated, but great nonetheless.

[chaska]

13. "You're the One that I Want" Olivia Newton John and John Travolta.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

18. I understand that in Hell, it's played in elevators 24-7...

:evilgrin:



:puke:

[khashka]

15. The weirdest I ever heard

was Willie Nelson and Sinead O'Connor. Not actually bad but just kinda creepy....

Khash.

[NuckinFutz]

43. Willie can write, but his voice is not great....

Have you heard his duet with Lucinda Williams, called 'Overtime'? It's a slow ballad, and not the kind of song that suits either of their voices...OY! This is the absolute worst duet I've heard. Both of them should let somebody else sing the ballads.

[khashka]

48. Willie and Sinead did a cover

of a Peter Gabriel duet with KaTe Bush... just... surreal.

But Willie's got a great voice.... listen to Stardust again.

Kash.

[NuckinFutz]

49. I must admit I enjoy his rendition of some songs,

and Stardust is one of them.

As for surreal, I can get into that. But the duet with Lucinda is far from surreal; it's just plain painful to hear.

[Bossy Monkey]

17. Bonnie Tyler and that unknown guy (I actually looked him up

but he's still unknown, ie never parleyed this into a successful career) on that goddam "Turn Around/ Every now and then I get a leetle bit" this and that song.

Them or Will To Power, though that's a duo and not a duet.

[jobycom]

26. That's my absolute favorite song of all time, btw

The song "Total Eclipse of the Heart" wasn't billed as a duet. The background singer, as far as I know, was just a session backup singer. The song was produced and written by Jim Steinman, of Meatloaf and Pandora's Box fame. He gave us Bat Out of Hell, my favorite Barbara Streisand song (Left in the Dark Again), and the only Celine Dion song I can listen for more than a few seconds without either falling asleep or becoming despondant over the future of music (All Coming Back to Me).

But hey, if you didn't like it, you didn't like it. I can relate. I hated Lord of the Rings, so I can understand differences of opinions.

[mitchum]

70. I also really love "Total Eclipse of the Heart"...

which really surprises people who know me :)
It IS a great record

[uppityperson]

19. Iglesias just sucks, why did they pair him with Willy?

Maybe they hoped the 2 would balance each other out, but it did not work. I don't know Toby Keith so couldn't vote for him.

[jobycom]

71. Money. nt.

[RevolutionaryActs]

20. Why do I see David Bowie and Queen on this list?

THEY CAN DO NO WRONG!!!!! :grr:

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

28. OK, I admit it, that was flamebait...

...I KNEW what the results would be if I posted that one, and yet...somehow...I POSTED IT ANYWAY!

BWAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

:evilgrin:

[RevolutionaryActs]

30. Bad!

:spank:

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

42. That only ENCOURAGES me....

:evilgrin:

[RevolutionaryActs]

44. That seems to be the effect it has on everyone...

:shrug:

[-..__...]

23. Wendy O Williams and Lemmy Kilmister (Motorhead)

"Stand By Your Man"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

31. Wow, I have that song on a Motorhead collection, but...

...I've never seen the picture sleeve.

I tend to cut the late Wendy O a little slack, primarily because she was one of John Candy's "Gil Fisher - The Fishin' Musician" guests on SCTV. For that particular sketch, it was probably the best guest appearance.

:toast:

[-..__...]

58. I have the 45 with picture sleeve somehere in my record collection.

I also have this poster hanging in my apartment.

:headbang:



Saw the Plasmatics a number of times in the late 70's/early 80's.
Their music was okay... their live shows were worth going to for the
shock value and stage antics.

[sportndandy]

27. Bowie (again) and Jagger - Dancin' in the Streets

[Pool Hall Ace]

29. Paul Anka & Odia Coates

"Having My Baby"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

33. Didn't like that one, eh?

:evilgrin:

[Pool Hall Ace]

60. Nooooooo, and it was a #1 hit in 1974.

[barb162]

32. who in hell is Toby Keith; never heard of him

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

39. Toby? A fat-assed, no-talent, redneck Bush-loving "country singer"

In his "Farrah Fawcett-Majors" perm days:



...and NOW:



:puke:

Just a worthless effing no-talent PUNK.

[blue neen]

34. The Girl is Mine.

Is there a line in the song where they actually sing "The god-damned girl is mine?"

[Bossy Monkey]

64. Appears to be "doggone"

...not that that's what you would call a major improvement.

[jobycom]

35. Those aren't even bad compared to Peter Cetera and Amy Grant

The next time I fall in love.

[DelawareValleyDem]

36. Lionel Richie & Diana Ross Endless Love

and anytime Nick and Jessica sing together.

[grace0418]

37. Natalie Cole and her poor dead father- Unforgettable

GAWD that was awful, ruining a beautiful song of her father's like that. "Unforgettable" was pretty great until she stepped in with her out-of-pitch whine. Nat had to be rolling in his grave.

[Richardo]

53. Bingo! "Unforgivable", that's what you are...

...Bad, Natalie.

[bertha katzenengel]

38. Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb, "Guilty."

Always hated that song. Always.

[flamingyouth]

57. Oh ugh, me too

Yuck. :puke:

[Dukkha]

40. Will To Power - "Baby, I Love Your Way/Free Bird Melody"

They took two lame songs and combined them into the most craptacular sounding duet of all time!

[Bossy Monkey]

45. Was Will to Power. The Tower of Power fans will be here momentarily

to lynch you. (Kidding, I hope!:D)

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

46. Thanks for the clarification...I was ready with a big "WTF" on that one...

:toast:

[blondeatlast]

63. Thank goodness someone cleared that up fast.

There are a bunch of us on this board!

That would have gotten U-G-L-Y.

[Dukkha]

50. oops! I meant Will To Power

:blush:
No insult meant to the great Tower of Power

[barackmyworld]

41. Michael Jackson and Eddie Murphy - whatzupwitu? (I added some pics)

NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE KNOW THAT THIS TRAGEDY EXISTED! The music video includes little boys running around, CGI hearts, and Michael and Eddie cavorting in the clouds.

[mark414]

52. that HAS to be worse than 'party all the time'

what was eddie thinking?

[bmbmd]

47. David Bowie (yet again)

and Bing Crosby-"The Little Trumpet Boy".

[Momgonepostal]

54. Islands in the Stream, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton

That was the first that popped in to my head. The second was that Julio Iglesias/Willie Nelson thing. Yuck.

[Atlas Mugged]

59. 'We got married in a fever....

...hotter'n a pepper sprout'.

Nuff said.

[Coventina]

61. "Almost Paradise" by the guy from Loverboy & the Heart lady

Yeeesh!!!!

:puke:

[blondeatlast]

62. Natalie Cole and Nat King Cole. GAWD, I just heard it in the store

and my heart absolutely bled for Nat, who had no say in the matter.

It's one thing to be awful by mutual agreement, but when the talented party can't give consent, that's just EVIL.

[charlyvi]

65. Loretta Lynn and Luciano Pavorotti

No shit. They sang together in a PBS Christmas show I watched once. My father, rest in piece, laughed till he cried. Loretta was in jeans and a red checked shirt, Luciano was in a tux. To be honest, I don't know if they were any good; everyone was laughing too loud.
:rofl:

[SOteric]

66. Kenny G and David Sanborn doing a cover of AWB's "Pick up the Pieces."

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

67. Which brings to mind an old David Spade SNL joke...

This was when every third album being released was a "tribute" album, all of these cover versions of Neil Young and Springsteen and The Beatles and such.

David Spade was doing his weekly rant on SNL and asked:

"Do you know WHY the Beatles recorded all of those songs? So YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO!"

That David Sanborn and Kenny G track is the most UNNECESSARY cover version in recent memory.

:toast:

[gollygee]

68. Barbra Streisand and Don Johnson

what the hell was the name of that god-awful song?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

69. "Till I Loved You"

It's on that CD I referenced above...

BLEH!

:puke:



:evilgrin:
