Also this.

Matter of fact, I'm pretty certain we sung this song for our High School graduation along with Lean On Me.
Duets mean two people singing, and no Carlos Sanatana opening his mouth while he makes his guitar "talk" does not qualifyl

Sounds like something you could Google about this piece of shit song.
The sexual tension in this pic is off the charts.

False. There are instrumental duets as well. And I would argue that Santana's riff and Rob's hilariously earnest vocals contribute equally enough to the song to awkwardly fit in to the definition of a duet.

I have been on this message board before some of you were born.
This might be the dumbest topic I have ever seen.
Seriously.

Closer and the Chainsmokers are just what the kids are into nowadays.

They also want instant gratification.
"Man, I want something made NOW to be 'significant'! I don't want to wait years from now, when I'm OLD, to see how much of an impact it's had over the world, pop culture and it's grander place in history. I wanna see it RIGHT NOW!!!!"
Wow! They did that!

Fourth if you add that Robbie Williams one to the list.

On the obscure spectrum...

I don't know what you're talking about OP. Tegan and Sara sing together on all their songs silly.

I've never even heard of the song by that artist. First I thought you meant Trent Reznor and Johnny Cash had made some sort of duet of Closer.

Given how much I disliked this "Closer" song after I heard it, I'd be willing to stomach Jagger and Bowie's "Dancing in the Street". At least that "song" is a good song.
This one, what the fuck is up with those kindsa lyrics? It's like writing lyrics like:
Just woke up on my friend's couch, had way too much to drink last night
mouth filmy with halitosis, eyes crusty but I'm alright
Lit up a cigarette, butt dialed you by mistake
Didn't mean to call you, but didn't mean I didn't want to babe
popped my neck from side to side, crashin at a friend's pad never goes my way
put my cigarette out on a moldy slice of pizza left on the coffee table since last Tuesday
These types of lyrics tend to be popular with some people (especially teens), but me, this will always be "schlub music".

I can't believe it took more than one post for this.
Anyway, OP, I never heard the song till this thread, and I ask... What the hell are you thinking?
lmao I love that song, but no
What you're looking for is called "Collaborations"
Yup, this is the only song titled Closer worth discussing.
Oh and it's Ebony & Ivory OP.

Nope.
Like many others, I entered this thread wondering who the other performer in the NIN classic was to make that song qualify as a duet.
For shame, OP.

GAF, like Paul on the road to Damascus, I have had an epiphany that Timber by Ke$ha feat Pitbull is not only the greatest duet in the history of recorded music, but probably humanitys greatest ever cultural milestone

I've never heard of that song or the group.
This is the song where the chorus is just 2 notes over and over right?

All duets are collaborations
This is a good one.

This thread blows my mind considering some of the iconic past duets we've had which are too many to really list.
Every year including 2017 has some outstanding music. Nostalgia aside it's perfectly understandable if someone has a song from this year they consider "their" personal greatest. 90% of my favourite albums and songs were released in the past decade.
But not all collaborations are duets
Sarah McLachlan is too Sarah McLachlan-y in this song, it kind of ruins it
it was tho

Cyndi Lauper and Patti Labelle is by far the superior duet. Patti helped Cyndi take 'em to church.

Anything by The Carpenters.
This songs legacy is being the most annoying song on a Kidz Bop album. Utterly forgettable song. So much so that next year Lights and Waves will be post a new thread about some new forgettable pop duet and they won't even remember they made this abortion of a claim.
I go through the whole thread and casually glance past it at the last second lol.
ahhhhh!! their improvisations are so good
