Hello!
She&Him – Why do you let me stay here?
The Weepies – World spins madly on
The Moldy Peaches – Anyone else but you
Bryan Adams & Mel C – When you’re gone
Ryan Adams (feat Kim Richey) – Come pick me up
I know I have both Ryan and Bryan Adams, but they’re both good. And I never thought I’d recommend anything to do with the Spice Girls, but this was the one song involving any of them that I actually thought was good!
Lisa Hannigan and Gary Lightbody – Some surprise!!!! From the Cake Sale album
And actually the same guy again: Snow Patrol and Martha Wainwright – Set the fire to the third bar
Hmm I can only ever think of one or two songs and then I lose patience.
Manic Street Preachers & Kylie Minogue – Little Baby Nothing
PJ Harvey & Thom Yorke – This Mess We’re In
Belle and Sebastian & Monica Queen – Lazy Line Painter Jane
Joey Ramone & Holly Beth Vincent – I Got You Babe
The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl – Fairytale of New York
Me top5 duets in order of preference:
1. Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue, Where the Wild Roses Grow
2. Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong, Summertime
3. Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg, Je t’aime… moi non plus
4. John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, You’re the One that I Want.
5. Björk & Thom Yorke – I’ve Seen It All
6. BRYAN ADAMS & TINA TURNER – It’s Only Love
O.K. here goes it.
Nick Cave and PJ Harvey – Henry Lee.
Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash & Carlene Carter – It Takes One To Know Me
Neil Tennant and Dusty Springfield – What Have I Done to Deserve This? (yay Pet Shop Boys!)
Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris – In My Hour of Darkness
Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra – Some Velvet Morning
These are the only duets I like that haven’t been mentioned before and they’re mostly pop for some reason:
Kelis & Cee-Lo: Lil’ Star
Kid Rock & Sheryl Crow: Picture
Madonna & Justin Timberlake: 4 Minutes
Michael & Janet Jackson: Scream
Robbie Williams & Kylie Minogue: Kids
Hmm….. I’m thinking
* Islands in the stream – Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton
* El President – Thom Yorke and (the girl from) Drugstore
* Frank and Nancy Sinatra – Something stupid
* Mary J Blige and Method Man – You’re all that I need to get by
* Peter Gabirel and Kate Bush – Don’t give up
And because no one puts baby in the corner….
Jennifer Warnes and Bill Medley – Time of your Life
PJ Harvey & Thom Yorke – This Mess We’re In
Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue – Where the Wild Roses Grow
Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong – Summertime
I know I’m just copying other people here, but I’m a bit short of time at the mo. Oh well. What’ll ya do…?
All I can think of at the minute is Mates of State, Ha Ha although really anything by them counts!
*scratches head through Queen back catalogue*
hmmm….
1. Freddie Mercury & Montressat Caballe – Barcelona. When this track was recorded, Freddie commented after the first listen: “There it is. It’s her voice on my music.” She Freddie’s long-time idol.
2. Mark Knopfler & Emmy Lou Harris – This is Us
3. George Michael & Lisa Stansfield – Somebody to Love
That’s all I can think of, I need to download the workout Songs and do some study….
Alright, here she goes again…..
Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong – They all laughed (although I will accept Summertime)
Belle and Sebastian & Monica Queen – Lazy Line Painter Jane (yes…I’m back to stealing)
Sheryl Crowe & Sting – Always on your side (well….I like it…)
The Chalets – Theme from Chalets
Manic Street Preachers and Nina Persson – Your love alone is not enough
I don’t have 5, but one of my favorite duets of all time Is interlude by Morrissey and Siouxsie Sioux. It’s dark, but unbelievably beautiful.
