and Huey Lewis: Cruisin’ (2000)
2. Paula Abdul and MC Skat Kat: Opposites Attract (1989)
3. Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson: The Girl Is Mine (1982)
4. Bono and Frank Sinatra: I’ve Got You Under My Skin (1993)
5. Willie Nelson and Julio Iglesias: To All The Girls I’ve Loved Before (1984)
6. Mariah Carey and Busta Rhymes: I Know What You Want (2003)
7. Jennifer Warnes and Bill Medley: I’ve Had The Time of My Life (1987)
8. Hilary and Haylie Duff: Our Lips Are Sealed (2004)

2. for me it's...
Boys 2 Men/Mariah Carey's 'One Sweet Day'. Seems like a nice enough song, but Mariah's over the top vocal acrobatics make me change the station as fast as I can.

4. Nah, I can't take that seriously.
Where's...?

Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan: Especially for You (1988)

Elton John and Kiki Dee: Don't Go Breaking My Heart (1976)

Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman: Somethin' Stupid (2001)

Catherine Zeta-Jones and David Essex: True Love Ways (1994)

The Captain and Tenille

And last but certainly not least, William Shatner and music of any kind.

5. I love several of those, including the first one.
I thought Paltrow and Huey Lewis did a great job on that cover. I love singing along with it. Of course, I still love the original far better.

I also love "I've Had The Time of My Life," and "Opposites Attract." :hi:

8. Jagger and Bowie get an exemption IMO
Yes, the song is crap, but they threw it together in under 48 hours specifically to benefit Live Aid. It's not as though they jammed in the studio for weeks and came up with that stinker; at least their hearts were in the right place.

9. No mention of "Picture?"
that Kid Rock/Cheryl Crow abomination unto music? This list has no credibility.

23. My ears!!!! MY EARSSSSS!!!!!!
Holy cow! That's beyond craptastic. I'm going to have to spend the next few hours listening to Bach and Leonard Cohen to erase the memory, and I only listened to it for 10 seconds.
