UNDATED -- The Paul McCartney-Stevie Wonder hit "Ebony and Ivory" tops a new list of the worst duets.

BBC Radio Six conducted the poll, seeking listeners' views on the collaborations they like the most -- and least. The 1982 tune is one of two tracks the former Beatle has in the top 10 worst list. "The Girl Is Mine," his duet with Michael Jackson, has the No. 6 spot. Elton John and David Bowie also have two collaborations on the worst list.

Elton's "Live 8" performance of "Children of the Revolution" with British rocker Pete Doherty is coming in at No. 7, while his version of "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me" with George Michael takes the No. 9 spot.

"I don't have much money but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live."

I'm sure "boy" was just an expression. :-)

“Say say say” is another dreadful MacCartney/Jackson duet.

Also the Michael Jackson-Mick Jagger one, that was probably the worst of all.

What about Nat and Natalie Cole’s “duet”? Granted, Nat didn’t have much to say about the collaboration, but...

I understood John Lennon walking away when I first heard that one....

"Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me" with George Michael takes the No. 9 spot.

They should have titled it, "Don't Let Your Son Go Down On Me."

Isn’t it the same song, though? One version for Marilyn, one for Princess Di. He may have changed the lyrics around a bit, but still same song title, IIRC.
