Best Duet Sung By A White Couple
 

So I'm in the bar tonight, 'Candy' by Iggy & Kate Pierson comes on. Great song we's all good. Halfway thru, I sez, "Ya know, this is prolly the best duet ever sung by white people".

LOL, then dead silence. I mean, I know I gotta be missing tons of stuff of my drunk azz, but still. Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell/Kim Weston set the bar awful high.

BTW, the local rap station here in SLC still employs the same ol' white boys from the '70s to do their promos and sponsor spots; concerts annoncements; etc. Kinda jarring; kinda weird; kinda funny anyway... Guess if I'm hearing right, Ice Cube now has an alter ego, "Mike Jones", a la Biggie & "Frank White". Anyone know about where these came from?

BBTW, the two "classic rock" stations here had simul Phil Collins blocks on=like to make me almost drive off the freeway on the presets. And what's up w/Supertramp being played as much as the Eagles these days? I've only knowed one guy who ever liked Supertramp, and he was a total DB.

OK, I just heard a 60 y.o. white man say "bad azz in your backpack" on the radio, so I'll stop now.

Yeah, after awhile this is what we came up with, too. *hiC*!

Re: Best Duet Sung By A White Couple
 

Uhh....Mike Jones, and Ice Cube are two seperate artists. At least as far as I know. I think if Ice Cube were to come up with an alter ego, it would not be that of a soso rapper, that can't stop saying his own damn name. As far as Biggie being Frank White. Frank White was the "King of New York", played by Christopher Walken. So that is where that comes from.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to get back to the Hyphy movement we got goin' on here in the Bay.

Re: Best Duet Sung By A White Couple
 

not Fleetwood Mac, just Stevie Nicks -

big difference - Stevie was hot as hell when I was growing up, and Tom Petty kicked ass and his songs kicked ass -

great song - but I wouldn't credit Fleetwood Mac [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

One of my roomates despite being straight is a HUGE Elton John fan. Last week he came home with a 4 DVD set that included a performance of this song in MSG with Kiki Dee, pretty damn good.
