10 Completely Insane Musician Team-Ups (That Actually Happened)

5. Brian May And Dappy, The English Equivalent

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5tKSeSF8-w Of course, anything the Yanks can do, we can do better, and that includes putting together a worse duo. And boy did we! On Rockstar we're treated to the twin powers of Dappy (whose name rhymes with Nappy, because he's full of cr*p) and Brian May (who has a PHD in astrophysics), both long since divorced from their respective bands. Which is good, because this duet wasn't going to earn them any respect. For his track about "living like a rockstar" (which, according to the video, involves smoking a bong, getting tattoos, wearing silly hats and dancing in an empty swimming pool), a claim which has been blighted somewhat my misappropriation by Nickleback and Pink - but no worry! The guitarist out of Queen is here to lend Dappy's claims a little more credence, in the way that only an old white dude with hair that looks like a rain cloud noodling on a flying V can. We know that's exactly what happened here - Dappy trying to get rock credibility via May, and May trying to absorb some of Dappy's youthful cool via osmosis - but it doesn't make it any less upsetting for anyone involved. Still, better than playing a solo on the Queen's roof, ao to speak.
