I hope Queen - Under Pressure wins as would have been my pick had I been fast enough but I love this track too

Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder together for Hunger Strike.

I know they were formed a "band" to release a couple of tracks but it was essentially a duet between them. I don't mind if it's disqualified as they formed a band. Leave it up to ye

Congrats Liz and great theme this week. I had load of options, but going with this one as we don't seem to hear it much and its a cracking tune.

Patty Smyth ft. Don Henley - Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough

Irish Aris · 25-01-2021 10:30AM

I haven't heard this song in general in many years. Then the original version of the song came up at the season 3 finale of Dark and it also reminded me this duet - both versions are now on heavy rotation on my playlist.

Not my type of music generally at all but I do like that track

Reminds me a bit of Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé singing Barcelona (would have been my intro to anything operatic)

So this thread has sent me down a rabbit hole of excellent tunes today! So cheers for that! Are we allowed more than 1 entry?

Fixed for you as if people are as lazy as me they won't listen if they can't hit play in the thread.

Thank Bubblypop's post for the game part. Cracking song

I love Haunted

Might a daily Walrus be worth trying out?

We seem to have a cohort who vote in a couple of days so could well be an option to run them quicker. Might need a 48 hour turnaround though.

Zaph · 25-01-2021 09:28PM

We'd probably run out of categories pretty quickly if we had a daily one. Or at least categories that enough people would want to enter to make it worthwhile.

Maybe, maybe not.

A week seems like a long time to me.

But it's no big deal.

Thanks a lot lassykk.

I was meant to put the / in & didn't realise I hadn't. Does YouTube need to be wrote in caps aswel or does that matter? I wrote it in lowercase

Don't think it needs to be uppercase but I actually never checked!

I changed mine at the last minute from that. Great song.

osh · 26-01-2021 11:47PM

It is but in fairness Under Pressure is an all time great too.

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 31-01-2021 05:59PM

Looks like we could be in for a three-way tie tonight... Exciting...

Was that you with an Eleventh Hour thank?

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 01-02-2021 12:04AM

Was a close one this week, but with 12 thanks, the winner of the Duets is...

Queen & David Bowie - Under Pressure

Which means, you're up to pick the next category Zaph

Zaph · 01-02-2021 12:14AM

Thanks everyone, that was a tight one as there were a lot of great songs there. OK, so despite the restrictions there's still plenty of scope in this week's category - any song by an act NOT from Ireland, the UK or the USA.

Not sure if I can enter again this week, if I can, here's my entry, and if not here's a bunch of Canadians to entertain you.

t.A.T.u. - All The Things She Said

Alanis Morissette - Hand in my Pocket

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUjIY_XxF1g

EDIT: Actually Google tells me she acquired dual American citizenship in 2005, but that was years after this song and she's still a Canadian citizen so does this still count? I can pick something else if needed, I just had this song stuck in my head at the time of writing!

I always consider her Canadian, and as you say she was only Canadian when this was released, so that's good enough I reckon.
