Some of the music worlds best, combined with some of the worst.
Some of the music worlds coolest, paired with some of the most uncool.
The results are mixed. But mostly strange and funny.
Here's a few music pairings over the last few decades that have had, well, mixed results.
The Fat Boys and The Beach Boys
Nelly and Tim McGraw - "Over and Over"
Robert Plant & Alison Krauss
Odd. But really good.
Michael Jackson ad Eddie Murphy ask "What'sup"
We referenced this a few weeks ago. Murphy spent the early 80s ripping on MJ, in 1992 he tried to use Michael's starpower to a top 10 hit. It was crap.
Ozzy and Miss Piggy
Thank god he didn't bite her head off.
David Bowie and Bing Crosby
This would have been so much better if Bowie was doing Ziggy Stardust.
The Fat Boys and Freddy Kruger
PS - Did you know Bob Dylan and Michael Bolton wrote a song together?
Thank god, Bolton had the good sense not to have Dylan sing it.

Baierman ... you have just been recorded on the Interwebs as saying 'Thank god Bolton had the good sense not to have Dylan sing it.'
That's now in your permanent file. Not good, my man ... not good.
I have to disagree Tim. Dylan is the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people. A coup de'tat against rational notions of melody/harmony, shit like that. There is a direct line from Highway 61 (or whatever) to smelly, hemp peddling hippies at Bonnaroo.
Bolton on the other hand, rocks the cougers and pretty much no one trys to copy him. Win/Win.
Curses E! How can I argue when you throwdown with the Cougar card showing?
I fold.
I knew that line would draw anger.
Dylan a fabulous songwriter BUT he has a terrible voice. Dude can not sing, never could. Nails on a chalkboard sound better.
Bolton, as crappy and cheesy as he is, has a better voice.
Baierman is on a 3 Chords & the Truth suspension. That is two episodes minimum. Then the Commissioner (me) will decide his future.
Shameful. Just shameful.
Dylan was a Great guitar player, rocked a harmonica, could write the most beautiful songs ever sung blindfolded.....And sounds like he has down syndrome when he sings...Sorry J-Dubs. It's the truth. I don't like Bolton's music, but i'll give him credit in that i can understand every word of every song he ever sang...the FIRST time I listen to it.
since when did understanding words in songs become the end all grading of music or voices?
i wish i could lock baierman and sheriff pablo in a room with nothing but michael bolton playing loud and clear.
i'm free to dh while baierman is on suspension jw. i could be the chord no one like to talk about.
Dylan is hit or miss, but his misses are still head and shoulders--perhaps knees and toes--better than Bolton.
Here's the truth for you, JW: baierman has lost all music-credibility. Michael Bolton is better than no one. NO ONE.'

Well...
I don't know what the hell Michael Stipe is saying either (and it's probably better that way) but at least he be harmonious.
Listen to the man and tell me he doesn't sound like Buckwheat.

If only Michael Bolton could have sung all of Dylan's hits.
Imagine how huge Dylan would really be today. And how cool he'd look with a mullet.
Don't be dissin' Buckwheat, son.
'You don't have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. O-Tay!'
Stoppit, man ... I'm crying over here.
dylan and a mullet. isn't that a country song?
I'd only be a good one if Bolton sung it.
Or maybe Billy Ray Cyrus.
Bolton can get de cougars fo' sho'. I never said i liked him though. Given a Choice between Listening to Bolton or Dylan every single moment for the rest of my life, i'd happily jam an icepick into my ear canals!
Back to the subject at hand:
Metallica & Marianne Faithfull - having that old woman sqwawl "la la la" over the agonizing strains of the song "The Memory Remains" makes me want to shoot myself.
Truly horrible.
Metallica. Ugly.
Cliff is rolling over in his grave.
I'll second that JC, that was nas-T. Metallica what were you going for? Grade F.
