also stringent: the definition of "weird."

Random short post!

On a recent car ride home, when that Sia + Flo Rida song came on (AGAIN), I got in my head about the weird collaborations in music that are just overtaking the radio nowadays (kids today!). So I challenged myself to come up with the five weirdest musical collaborations that were hits (or "hits") since I've been alive and also that I could think of while I was driving that night (the criteria were stringent). Here is what I thought of, in sort of alphabetical order by one of the artists.

The non-Gabrielle Union girls from Bring it On + the second most popular dude from 'N SYNC = lyrics like "are you feeling my timbs, my baggy jeans, my thug appeal" sung as authentically as if I, Jesse Hall, were singing them.

 

One of these two people released an album titled Chocolate Factory. The other got her start as the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest winner from Switzerland. And it's not the ones you would think! (Just kidding, it is exactly the ones you would think).

From Suit, not Sweat. 

I don't know why I find this one to be so weird, because on paper, it isn't. Especially since it was released right after "She Bangs" for Ricky and "Come on Over" for Xtina, so both were insanely popular. Why not do a duet? Well, because it is weird! Maybe just for me... 

Yeah, this was a thing. Not even a 90s thing. It was like 2004! Weird.



Yup, that's it. I'll try to blog more in 2012 comma no one.
