Again, like "Ebony & Ivory" - when two great artists get together and do a cover that sounds shitty. 
Everyone says in the video it look like they're about to make out.
I wonder what Martha Reeves think of the cover. Maybe she saw it and screamed so loud at the stupidity of it that that's why she sings the way she does now. I keed, I keed. 
[Edited 4/16/08 15:02pm] Whats up? It's sad when great artist produce crap....I wanted to throw "Wazupwitu" by MJ and Eddie Murphy in this category, but they were early 1990's. Talk about sending off the wrong body language in a video http://www.youtube.com/wa...9cQOcAC_K8 btw--I am not implying that Eddie Murphy is a great musician, but MJ has teamed with Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder on consecutive albums and produced crap (I did like Say, say, say) I still wonder WHAT convinced Michael to do a duet with Eddie... I heard it the first time on BET fifteen years ago and couldn't bare to listen to it again. Eddie is just atrocious as a musician.  He really believed in his ego after "Party All The Time" blew up...

1970s: "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Around the Ole Oak Tree" by Tony Orlando  You know that song is just plain fuckin' awful! 
And it stopped Marvin's "Let's Get It On" from being Billboard's YEAR-END number-one song of the YEAR. | |

Timmy84 said: That's an example of when two great talents of music get together - they create a pile of shit.
You do have a point, as the several examples above show! Guess I'll stop wishing for M and Prince to do something together!  "I would say that Prince's top thirty percent is great. Of that thirty percent, I'll bet the public has heard twenty percent of it." - Susan Rogers, "Hunting for Prince's Vault", BBC, 2015 |

A lot of songs that are listed aren't really all that bad; they just got overplayed to death and made us sick of them. Having said that, there are a few songs that really suck, like:
Run Joey Run - David Geddes We Built This City - Starship Yummy Yummy Yummy - Ohio Express State of Shock - The Jacksons/Mick Jagger Balls To The Wall - Accept Disco Duck - Rick Dees  | |

That song is so horrible it's good. I have to admire her for actually recording that mess and doing a video. She's a brave b*tch. Kind of like the people responsible for this gem: | |
