Unusual collaberations that surprise you

Kipperhell · 02-05-2009 2:23am #1

Not sure how musical people are but I was surprised to find this collaboration

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hjkk5qE0wg

William Shatner and Henry Rollins is an odd one too anybody else got more that generally people never heard of?

Sharpshooter · 02-05-2009 2:28am

This one.

The Pontiac · 02-05-2009 2:30am

Strange pairing, but works beautifully.

I was thinking of songs that weren't top selling or unheard of.

tony1kenobi · 02-05-2009 2:35am

Jesus and Judas was pretty fcuked up.

Nick cave and Kylie Minogue is probably the the most unusual collaboration you'll ever see..

You have limited world view and imagination if that is what you think.
Do You know who Screamin' Jay Hawkins is and who Serge Gainsburg is?!?!??!

Minogue and Cave are close in age and are from the same country

You started a thread with no specifics and people posted going with your OP.

You then insult a poster that took the time to post in your thread.

Oh god love us. They couldn't be further apart when it comes to music styles. Age, country? What's that got to do with anything?

It requires a certain lack of knowledge to not know that she had been very pally with the people from a different style of music to that she had in the past performed. Age, country and friends has a lot to do with being surprised style is important but surprised by it considering she had gone independent and came out with "Confide in Me" I was not.

I may be a musical snob to some but come on guys I am talking about genuine surprise about something people haven't heard about

staker · 02-05-2009 3:12am

AlmightyCushion · 02-05-2009 3:18am

Liza minnelli's face and the barrell of a shotgun would make a great collaboration.

You are certainly coming across that way tbh.

Oh but I bet you haven't heard about that super exclusive track recorded in 96 by this uber cool indie band no-one has heard of and a death metal/jazz improv/bluegrass quartet from Azerbaijan.
They had an album recently, but the early stuff is loike sooo much better.

You have limited world view and imagination if you think the main things that separate and differ between people is age and the country they are from especially when it comes to something like music.

Brian May and Freddie Mercury. Apparently Brian May was a monstrous homophobe who looked down on Mercury as, and I quote, "a sexually confused colonist". Mercury took great offence to this and tried to frame May on a child pornography rap. Unfortunately - for Mercury - Pete Townsend was in town that week and, after some confusion, he accidentally took the heat.

In spite of all that, "Bicycle Race" went on to be a top 11 hit for them.
