The British are once again torn between love and hate. In the BBC's poll of best and worst duets of all time, Mick Jagger David Bowie's 'Dancing In The Streets' came in as number three worst and number eight best. What is even funnier is that Bowie made both lists twice with another duet.
'Little Drummer Boy' with Bing Crosby was voted the fourth worst duet of all-time and the eleventh best. Bowie also scored a thumbs up for 'Under Pressure' with Queen. It was the third best duet.
Other multiple offenders for worst song were Paul McCartney and Elton John. Macca's 'Ebony and Ivory' with Stevie Wonder was voted the Worst Duet of All Time. 'The Girl Is Mine', his duet with Michael Jackson, was voted the sixth.
Elton John copped a bashing for 'Children of the Revolution', his duet with Pete Doherty at Live 8. That one came in at number seven. He also ranked in at ninth position for the song he performed at Live Aid with George Michael 'Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me'.
