So I Called Zucchero - The Duets Podcast

Join us as we investigate collaborations in the universe of pop via the art of the vocal duet. Following the 6 degrees of seperation theory, we find a duet, jump off via one of the artists and follow the star trail until we get back to our original point. A previously uncelebrated pop constellation is thus created.Voted No.3 in ‘15 Best Duet Podcasts in 2024’ List compiled by Feedspot.com. https://podcasts.feedspot.com/duet_podcasts/See other platforms for full music & video playlists plus all

2025/10/30

Debbie Harry & Iggy Pop - Well Did You Evah!Did you know that our Iggy, the Godfather Of Punk, who grew up in a trailer park, could have been the president of the USA? He was hobnobbing in the right circles for a while.. I guess there’s still time. Fingers crossed. And Debbie Harry aka ‘Dirty Harry’ could & should have been a queen of the silver screen like her fairy godmother Maryline Monroe. Here they both get to play at being part of High Society, and well do they evah! Punk rock style

2025/10/24

Dolly Parton & Debbie Harry - Heart Of Glass.Dolly, not satisfied with the almost perfect union of souls and haircuts she was blessed with in the last visitation, puts her feelers out in search of an even more kindred of spirits, if only there was a singer her age, a woman, who was also BLOND. Like Dolls herself!! Hmm…Ahh, yeah, we got one, her management delivers, ‘and she conveniently fits into the rock genre!’ Great! Blondie you say?!! How can it go wrong! So who is this sister from another

2025/10/23

Dolly Parton & Patti La Belle - Up Above My Head.…they hear music in their hair. And it sure sounds angelic. If god were a hairdresser this is the music to help you tolerate the holy one’s latest cosmic holiday horror stories from the southern regions. It truely is the music of the shears.This phonically (and folically) gifted pair of belters have also been to hell and back. So do they still believe? Oh yes. They really do believe. Oh yes they do believe!! But do they believe? They really really

2025/10/19

Fred Schneider & Patti La Belle - Time To KissNot having to pow-wow any more with his right-on college buds on campus who say sex is for fascists, Fred has decided to fly the nest and is officially, now, OFF THE LEASH. Giving James Elroy a run for his money, would-be marmalade patterned panty sniffer extraordinaire monsignor Fred Schneider has become entrenched in a dazzling new obsession. Patti La Belle. And who can blame him. With about 17 octaves of lazer-precise sonic artillery in her

The B52s (Fred Schneider & Kate Pierson) - Private IdahoLeaving Iggy to lick his wounds after his destined to failure, triumphalist girly mission inevitably collapses, Kate, who was absolutely having none of it, goes back to her day job. Cleaning the pools in the snazzy properties of IDAHO, yes, idaho. Orange groves as far as the eye can see. Patios glistening in the bake it to make it suburban meadow. A guy without a child sitting ON A BENCH. Call 911. Oh hes a pop star? Lock him up anyway. And

Iggy Pop & Kate Pierson - CandyIt’s been so long…jeez… nearly a year… i recall, a rainy afternoon. You were only 5, if that, my SICZ subscribers. But I cant stop thinking about you. And ive decided we should all marry. Yes now. I dont care if you only listened once. You’re one of us now, and here is our passionate prose to prove it.Old sinewy alien grandpa Iggy is also on a dodgy one and is heading home to hunt down a whimsical memory of a devotee unfettered by nasty cynical cityboy criticism

Ep 4 prt 6- Love Song

So I Called Zucchero - The Duets Podcast ·

2024/12/11

Love Song - Madonna & Prince.We reach the last song in this episode’s 6 degrees. Although prt 5’s Purple Rain would probably have been a more fitting finale. Prince of course is featured, but is he really here? He was more present in the last one, and he was dead… Madge also is struggling to seem interested, and it’s the 3rd song on her last big 80s hit album. Love song? I dont think so. Dont worry though, bad song does not mean bad Zucchero. Tom & Ross wax lyrical on this turd until the sun

Ep 4 Prt 5 - Purple Rain

So I Called Zucchero - The Duets Podcast ·

2024/11/25

Stevie Wonder & Madonna - Purple RainStevie’s off to better things, hollywood prems, grammy parties and adoring fans, and then does some other stuff. And so does George. But this is later, muchhh later. Its a grammy, but Stevie’s not the focus and looks a little weary. Luckily Granmadonna is there to take him in hand, into the purple dawn, just where Prince would have wanted them. A fitting send off, but wait.. is that Brian over there next to the free donuts?

2024/11/17

Stevie Wonder & Boy George - Part Time LoverRewind time. Ross & Tom whisk you away from the covid bubble to a time where artists occupied real stages together like, and shared pure moments, and everything was great, even if below the surface motives are perhaps a little more murky.. What’s underneath the bonnet of Stevie’s massive synth, is he cheating? Why is Boy looking so uncharacteristically uncomfortable despite wearing his chosen fineries? Does he know what’s going on!?

Ep 4 prt 3 - Patience

So I Called Zucchero - The Duets Podcast ·

2024/09/20

Gary Barlow & Boy George - Patience.After hope, comes glory, or so some scriptures might suggest. After hope, sometimes comes pain, and sometimes tragedy, and sometimes success, like what’s sposed to happen. But mostly just normal shit. Anyway, a thin white gauze has been pulled across the world’s breathing apparatus, and Tom & Ross must peer within to see what extracurricular meanderings artists have embarked upon under it’s heathen weight. Split-screen Brian-ism seems to have filled a gap

2024/09/20

Gary Barlow & Rosie Gaines - Hang On In There BabyIt’s the highlight of anybody’s career worth it’s salt on the English celebrity charity gig scene. YES, it’s THE CONCERT OF HOPE. If you’re here, it means hope is your friend, and you’re it’s friend too, so u can get into all it’s parties, snort sugar off it’s earlobes, tickle it’s mum, whatever u like. You’re basically MADE. HOPE shines on you. Both of our beautful duetaflys dance and sing naked, (metaphorically i’m afraid) bathing in it’s

2024/09/02

Prince FT Rosie Gaines - Nothing Compares 2 U.Tom and Ross have been away. And they’ve missed each other. Eating dinner in fancy restaurants, seeing whomever they choose, yeah sure, great, but 2 is always better than 1. And U, well it’s better than just me. A man who knows this all too well is The Purple One. And he knows there’s much to be Gained from a team up, yup there’s a whole lotta Rosie right here too. Which is a good job because he is thoroughly bereft.Voted No.3 in ‘15 Best Duet Podcasts

Frank Sinatra & Alicia Keys - Learning The Blues‘Crocetti wake up ya no good bum!’ A glass of water hits Deano square in the face jolting him out of his sauce addled slumber. He makes a few quintisentially Dean sounding moans and pulls the blanket back over his head. ‘You gotta get off the sofa and get outta here or Consuela will have me for breakfast, instead of cooking mine!’ Says Frank as he leaves, dressed sharp as ever, and on his way to an early morning screen test he will think nothing of

The One I Love Belongs to Somebody Else - Frank Sinatra & Dean Martin. After an awkward return to Nashville to sheepishly give back the stolen horses, Ross & Tom limp out of the saloon, steal them again and head for Las Vegas in a hail of gunfire. They arrive just before closing time but Dean has beaten them to it, and having travelled by executive chopper complete with minibar he is already in full flow. He seems to be attempting to give an old friend a bit of advice over last orders, or is

It’s a quick exit out through the barn door and a full pelt across the fields on stolen horses, all with stinking whiskey n rye hangovers from hell for Ross and Tom. Now it’s off to Las Vegas to team up with Dean Martin for our next duet masterclass ‘my 1st Countr…’ screech, nay, yinny (?) Sunnies pulled down over nose, ‘country song’!? Sheeeeiiittt.
