Most Unlikely Musical Collaborations that Actually Happened

Which collaboration was the most unexpected? If you know more artists that collaborated that you thought were unexpected, you may add them here.

The Top Ten

Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney (FourFiveSeconds)

It was just okay I didn't find it to be that unlikely because I know that kanye and paul had planned on making stuff together so I guess it was expected

This song is the worst Paul McCartney song ever written.

Very disappointing, Mr Fab McCartney

it was a good song too, who woulda guessed

Metallica And Ja Rule (We Did It Again)

I never thought Metallica would collaborate with a rapper.

Surprising AND awful, I have to add. Metallica went from thrash to trash... it's so painful because I am a Metallica fan.

Yes, this was surprising

Nelly and Tim McGraw (Over and Over)

How was this not on here?

The Jacksons and Mick Jagger (State of Shock)

Three 6 Mafia and Ke$ha (Slow Motion)

Lil Wayne and Weezer (Can't Stop Partying)

Oh yeah, Weezer and Weezy in a song together. It's as bad as it sounds.

What?!? I can't believe it

Sting and Shaggy (Don’t Make Me Wait)

Bono and Frank Sinatra (I've Got You Under My Skin)

Slayer and Atari Teenage Riot (No Remorse (I Wanna Die))

It's as bad as it sounds - I can use part of the title to describe it: you may wanna die after hearing the song, esp. if you are a metalhead.

Mariah Carey and Ol Dirty Bastard (Fantasy)

There are certain things that might be great on their own, but...just don't go together. This was the beginning of Mariah's downfall. Nobody wanted to hear a singer who is normally singing ballads with heavy vocal acrobatics collaborating with one of the Wu Tang members on a song.

The Contenders

Michael Jackson and Eddie Murphy (Whatzupwitu)

I didn't even know Eddie Murphy was a singer until I saw this.

this can't be real, OMG its real

Fall Out Boy and Elton John (Save Rock and Roll)

and the song was amazing

Aerosmith and Run - D.M.C. (Walk This Way)

This was better than I expected. I liked it.

Nicole Scherzinger and Sting (Power's Out)

This was...disappointing to say the least, I mean for one there was autotune on Sting's voice but what can you expect from a song written by The-Dream? He autotunes everybody even if they don't need it.

Nicole who asked you to collab with trash like Sting? I actually like Nicole scherzinger but this was disappointing.

Nickelback and Flo Rida (Got Me Runnin' 'Round)

And it was predictably bad...

Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar (Bad Blood)

Kendrick Lamar and Rihanna (Loyalty)

Worst Kendrick song

Metallica and Lou Reed (Lulu)

That's a whole album and not only one song, and it was bad...

David Bowie and Bing Crosby (The Little Drummer Boy)

Kendrick Lamar and SZA (All the Stars)

Eh, they both have some similarity so I don't think it was that unlikely.

Not that unlikely compared to Kendrick and Rihanna.

Katy Perry and Lil Yachty (Chained to the Rhythm Remix)

The song already sucked, don't make it more horrid!

Lil Wyte and Josey Scott (Crazy)

Who knew Lil Wyte could make a good rock song, most rappers can't do that (Lil Wayne, I'm looking at you!)

Wale, Rick Ross and Lupe Fiasco (Poor Decisions)

Michael Bublé and Reese Witherspoon (Something Stupid)

I did not even know that Reese Witherspoon was a singer.

Don't Call Me Angel (Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus and Lana del Rey)
