There have been many moments in music that should have never happened, notably 99% of the bands I have been in. However, luckily, those moments were never captured within the annals of history and put on a grand scale. These moments below are though, and we still have to accept them as part of our pop culture that at one moment they were “hits” or “gems”. For the most part- doubtful the Ozzy/Miss Piggy collab was made to hold any ground as a momentous occasion. And maybe I am giving some too much credit, as there were moments where we slapped our heads in disbelief- I still remember where I was when I heard the now infamous ICP/Jack White collaboration- like a mini disaster that you will forever hold in your heart. It still blows my mind saying it. I added a couple honorable mentions. This list holds no particular order, just moments I found either funny, unfunny, sad, worsened the musical future/good, odd, or down right brilliant- even though they are music moments that should have never happened.
10. Puff Daddy & Jimmy Page “Come With Me”
9. Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder “Ebony and Ivory”
8. Lou Reed & Metallica ”The View”
7. Patrick Stump & Lupe Fiasco “This City”
6. Ozzy Osbourne & Miss Piggy “Born to Be Wild”
5. Bruce Springsteen “Secret Garden”
4. Starship “We Built This City”
3. The Beach Boys “Kokomo” (Embedding Disabled by Request)
2. ICP & Jack White “Leck Mich Im Arsch”
1. All Star Tribute “What’s Going On?”

Uptown Girl is the bones!
I have no issue with the rest of this list.

Nice compilation, but I disagree on Bowie/Bing. There’s just something evil going on between those two that makes the collaboration powerful. Bing just looks like he has no idea who Bowie is or why he is there.

I disagree on both the Bowie and Bing and also Uptown Girl. Both songs are the jammy jam.
