We recently asked people in the Socialine Community to tell us the weird music collaboration that most caught them off guard, and folks, no joke, they came up with an absolutely wild group of musical moments:
1.
Nelly and Tim McGraw on the song “Over and Over”

“When I saw the CD, yes CD — it was 2004 — I was wondering if there was another Tim McGraw I wasn’t aware of.”

“Nelly and Tim McGraw was definitely crazy when it first came out. Great song though.”

“i still can’t wrap my head around what the people were thinking.”
—moonlight_ari
“This song is an absolute clusterfuck with women of three different genres all on a different page. Individually they each sound great but if you play all their verses on different occasions it sounds like three different songs.”

Ed Sheeran, Chris Stapleton, and Bruno Mars on the song “Blow”
