Crazy Collaborations

[DJ B.K.]

I got this thread idea after hearing about a crazy rock-rap collaboration. Korn recently said they would be collaborating with Nas. my question is what crazy collaborations have you heard of?

Others I have heard of include:
System Of A Down & P.Diddy (Still Puff Daddy when done)
Ja Rule & Metallica
Papa Roach & N.E.R.D.
Possible collab. between Coldplay and Timbaland

Another odd combo is Busta Rhymes and Ozzy Osbourne. I think the song was "This means war" or something. It was really cool, it was on Busta's "Extinction Level Event" CD. I used to listen to it on the way to my telemarketing job when I was 17 hahahaha!

I just saw these:

"The Osbourne Family Christmas Special" will air on the cable network, featuring loads of bizarre guests. Jessica Simpson duets with Ozzy on "Winter Wonderland," and...there is a group reading of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" featuring Sharon Osbourne, OutKast's Big Boi, JC Chasez, Eddie Griffin, Tracy Morgan, Anthony Anderson, Eva Mendes and Electra, to be followed by "a climactic caroling sing along"

Decide for yourself if these are odd;

U2 and BB King (When Love Comes To Town, a brilliant song)
U2 and Brian Eno (together known as The Passengers, band that produced the Original Soundtracks 1 album. Eno had been their producer for a while already. They also performed Miss Sarajevo live in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, on the Popmart tour, 23 September 97, which I have a recording of)
U2 and Pavarotti (Miss Sarajevo)
Bono and Pavarotti (live, singing One)
Bono and Beyonce (live, singing American Prayer)

Bono's actually appeared live with a whole bunch of different people ...

Oh yes, and then there was U2 and Johnny Cash, when they teamed up for The Wanderer (really good song, too). I thought that was a strange one.

I forgot about Carlos Santana who has had collaborated with Macy Gray, P.O.D., and Wyclef Jean among others.

Santana will collaborate with just about anyone, it seems. Bono once sung a song with Wyclef Jean as well.
