Most recently, Shirin David and Ski Aggu sang. A match somewhere between foreign shame, marketing and cult. But what surprising pairings are there? Here are 7 duets with 7 facts at a glance.
1. Bushido vs. Karel Gott
In 2008 Bushido was at the height of this enormously unpleasant self -staging as a gangsta. Against this background, this ingenious miss-match with Karel “The Bee Maja” has even more disturbing. “Forever young”, the terrible version of the Alphaville classic, brings it up to 5th place on the single charts-and also a guest role in the Bushido adaptation of “Times change you” in 2019.
2. David Bowie vs. Mick Jagger
1985 – Two of the then coolest types worldwide sing (and especially dancing) through a duet and the associated video. “Dancing in the Streets” represents David Bowie’s last number a single single, the clip receives an award at the Video Music Awards from MTV a year later. However, perception has changed over time. Above all, the video for the soulful, slightly annoying duet has become a moving picture meme. Jagger vs. Bowie is now more likely to look at a kind mockery than with great awe.
3. Michael Jackson vs. Paul McCartney
Musically, the song “The Girl Is Mine” from 1982 is a friendly mediocrity. But otherwise this duet, in which Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson are arguing, could hardly have aged any less agreed …
4. Eminem vs. Dido
At the beginning of his career, Eminem himself surrounds the aura of the citizens’ fright in the charts. His fame benefits significantly from this, but at some point the will also overturns him to be taken seriously as an artist. The deep piece “Stan” from 2000 on the suicide of a fan is mainly lifted to the next level by his duet partner. If the very popular Dido lends her voice to this type at the time, it will be okay – and you don’t just have to hold the wallet when a piece runs on the radio.
5. Rocko Schamoni vs. Michael Holm
In his early years, quite a few of the golden lemon intimus King Rocko Schamoni want properly peppered fun punk. But today’s author breaks this expectation early. Most clearly when he digs up the dusty pop uncle Michael Holm in 1990 and starts with him the surprisingly unironian duet “Mendocino”. Meta humor that was a lot, but in the end it was definitely not proven to be massable.
6. Robbie Williams vs. Nicole Kidman
In 2001, Robbie Williams can touch what he wants, it becomes gold. This also includes his surprising duet with actress Nicole Kidman. Your “Somethin ‘Stupid” version scratches hard on kitsch. The associated video clip also matters on top and quotes licked film sets of 50s love films. The bottom line is that the Christmas number one hit from England sells over a million records worldwide.
7. German national soccer team vs. Village People
Klinsmann, Kahn and Völler clapping and singing fueled behind the construction worker and the police officer of Village People for the song “Far Away in America”. Schräger and also queer than at this moment in 1994 it was “Wetten
that…?” Probably never that the gay icons of the Village People for Donald Trump today is neither a duet nor horny-that is just just depressing.
