Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure - that burns a building
Down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
It’s the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
It’s the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don’t work
Keep coming up with love but it’s so slashed
And torn
Why - why - why
Love
Insanity laughs under pressure we’re
Cracking
Can’t we give ourselves one more chance
Why can’t we give love that one more
Chance
Why can’t we give love
Cause love’s such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure

"I'm Afraid of Americans"

Ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah-ah

I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans

I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't
I'm afraid of Americans

Johnny's in America
Ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah-ah
Johnny wants a brain
Johnny wants to suck on a Coke
Johnny wants a woman
Johnny wants to think of a joke

I've seen it all, I have seen the trees,
I've seen the willow leaves dancing in the breeze
I've seen a friend killed by a friend,
And lives that were over before they were spent.
I've seen what I was - I know what I'll be
I've seen it all - there is no more to see!

You haven't seen elephants, kings or Peru!
I'm happy to say I had better to do
What about China? Have you seen the Great Wall?
All walls are great, if the roof doesn't fall!

And the man you will marry?
The home you will share?
To be honest, I really don't care...

You've never been to Niagara Falls?
I have seen water, its water, that's all...
The Eiffel Tower, the Empire State?
My pulse was as high on my very first date!
Your grandson's hand as he plays with your hair?
To be honest, I really don't care...

I've seen it all, I've seen the dark
I've seen the brightness in one little spark.
I've seen what I chose and I've seen what I need,
And that is enough, to want more would be greed.
I've seen what I was and I know what I'll be
I've seen it all - there is no more to see!

You've seen it all and all you have seen
You can always review on your own little screen
The light and the dark, the big and the small
Just keep in mind - you need no more at all
You've seen what you were and know what you'll be
You've seen it all - there is no more to see!

Huzzah for selma songs.

Off the top of my head, I'd have to go with...

 

[Substance]

Ben Folds/William Shatner indeed. Smart choice demon.
I managed to check out Shatner's smooth cover of 'Common People' on Leno. Good fun.

David Bowie and Freddie Mercury? No, no, my friends. Have you forgotten David Bowie and Mick Jagger's team-up?

Bjork and Thom? Ugh :lol That is not an aurally satisfying combination...
Fripp/Eno would get a lot of the hipster votes.

Mediocre movie, excellent soundtrack:

 

[demon]

I'm disappointed nobody's mentioned the greatest musical team-up in history:

 

[Shinobi]

You all lose...

Coming to DVD early November.

 

[bjork]

I would agree with this post if ol' Radiohead guy would've shown up for their duet at that awards ceremony...

 

[White Man]

Fripp/Eno would get a lot of the hipster votes.

Why settle for Fripp and Eno when you could have Bowie, Fripp and Eno? Anyway, Brian Eno is likely a part of the greatest musical team-up ever. My picks would likely be Bowie & Eno or Byrne & Eno. Or the aforementioned 3-way.

Like Christina, Paul loves da flava:

Not the best but I feel like mentioning it.

 

[Dilbert]

If you're talking about collaboration on a song, then the Bjork/Thom Yorke duet ranks up there. Another vote would go to Thom Yorke and DJ Shadow on "Rabbit In Your Headlights" from UNKLE's Psyence Fiction, Randy Newman and Bonnie Raitt on "Feels Like Home" (from the Faust soundtrack), Röyskopp and Erlend Øye on "Poor Leno," and yet another to Orbital and David Grey on "Illuminate." (Yeah, it's poppy cheese from a mostly bad album, but it's SUCH a great song...)

Although I have to exclude hip-hop, since there are SO many guest spots in songs that you could list almost any good song ever recorded, I'm very fond of ATCQ's "Scenario" (Busta Rhymes blows that song up) and Gang Starr's "DWYCK" ('nuff said). Oh yeah, Eminem contributed a little sumthin sumthin to "Forgot About Dre."

If you're talking album-length collaborations, you HAVE to mention Bob Dylan and The Band's The Basement Tapes. Holy crap, that stuff is good. Also worth a mention: Neil Young and Pearl Jam's Mirror Ball, which in my opinion is the best Pearl Jam album ever released.

The problem is, what exactly defines a collaboration? I'd vote for Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, but they recorded together for much of their careers, even though they had separate solo careers later on. Same deal with Snoop Dogg on Dr. Dre's The Chronic -- is that a "collaboration?"

 

[Particle Physicist]

pretty much all of Thom Yorke's collaborations. --> bjork, PJ Harvey, DJ Shadow

 

[etiolate]

Dude when I saw the topic title Under Pressure was the first thing that came to mind.
