It's got a beat and you can dance to it

[caddyman]

It occurs to me that there are possibilities out there for the most bizarre combinations of artist and music. Occasionally, you find an instance where in real life, an artist does something completely unexpected and the result is risible and airbrushed out of history (I present the court with Exhibit A: Paul McCartney, The Frog Chorus). More rarely, rather than being an absolute mess, the concept works against all expectation and may even be considered a classic. Having thought of an example of something that should never have been recorded, I can’t honestly think of anything to illustrate my second assertion, but there must be something.

In the sprit of boredom then, I present ten pieces of music and the people I wish had recorded them, simply because it would have been worth the effort to listen, if only once:

The Sex Pistols: Eine Kleine Nacht Musik
Val Doonican: Fire Starter
The Osmonds: Je t’aime (Moi Non Plus)
Black Sabbath: The Laughing Policeman
Nirvana: When I’m Cleaning Windows
The Who: Disco Inferno
Prince and the Revolution: All Around My Hat
Pulp: Puff the Magic Dragon
Cliff Richard: Teenage Dirtbag
The Cure: Bridge Over Troubled Water

Suggestions for more, anyone?

If I get enough, I may put them in a poll to see what would have been the most popular inappropriate recording never recorded.
