Gorillaz and Dennis Hopper
We’ve witnessed stranger spectacles than Dennis Hopper intoning a nonsensical monkey-based fable over a loping, liquid funk groove, live in Harlem – but not many.
Brian May and 5ive
The grouchy Queen guitarist has put his name to some naff products in his time (a We Will Rock You toothbrush, anyone?), but what on earth possessed him to team up with a band responsible for such R&B-lite abortions as Slam Dunk (Da Funk) and If Ya Getting’ Down?
Blur and Ken Livingstone
Narrated by Ken Livingstone, then MP for Brent East, Ernold Same was The Great Escape’s weirdest moment. Here’s an ultra-rare live performance from 2000.
Puff Daddy and Jimmy Page
50-something Led Zep legend teams up with rap’s most ludicrous egomianiac for soundtrack of godawful blockbuster. Hardly a recipe for success. Yet Come With Me (a rewrite of Kashmir) - performed here for MTV with a 40-piece orchestra - actually rocked surprisingly hard.
Elton John and Eminem
Elton John honking his way through the chorus of Stan at the 2001 Grammys is a moment that will live in infamy. Suddenly Dido didn’t seem so bad.

I had to laugh when I read this: criticising one of the best live duets I've ever heard and talking like Dido ever sounded bad, LOL. Maybe you should try to do better. Oh wait, please don't.
