Do what I want do what I want, won't you buy?

Do what I want do what I want, won't you buy yeah we're taking the haters and we rubbing them up.

Relative clauses (Restrictive vs. nonrestrictive)

Welcome to watchmojo and today we're counting down our picks for the most embarrassing or simply misguided celebrity duets that should not have happened.

Number 10 Booty Jennifer Lopez featuring Iggy Azalea it sounds like a parody, but somehow it's not.

This song from Lopez's album AKA is a very straightforward dance track written by multiple artists including Chris Brown and Pitbull.

This makes the repetitious and rhymeless lyrics even more strange, and the male gazy aspect is disturbing.

With its cliched Middle Eastern flavor and generic rhythm.

You might hope Iggy Azalea's involvement would help.

Azalea's verse repeats the same same idea as the rest of the song.

At least she and Lopez look good and the song was a modest hit, but

there is a reason why Lopez was so reluctant to record it in the first place.

Number 9 Do it Miley Cyrus and the Flaming Lips yeah, I Love Peace Do It Cyrus has been known for her controversial performances, especially her salacious rendition of Blurred Lines with Robin thicke at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.

But in terms of cringe, this collaboration with rock band the Flaming Lips takes the cake.

The original hip hop song about loving peace and smoking marijuana is nothing special.

It even comes with a nigh unwatchable music video at the 2015 MTV VMAs, though, the flaming Lips got involved, which added further insult to injury.

Add in the random drag queens from RuPaul's Drag Race and you get a very puzzling display indeed.

Let's not yeah smoke pot, smoke pot yeah I love beats, I love beats.

Number 8 trolls 6ix9ine and Nicki Minaj following the rapper's release of the garishly awful Gooba after his stint from prison, 6ix9ine upped the ante with this song.

This time, however, Nicki Minaj would sing and contribute a verse.

Trolls is a dull rote rap trap track with the usual self aggrandizing cliches and digs at other rappers.

Minaj's two verses don't make matters any better.

Sounding bland and lazily written, Minaj comes across as lethargic and even bored, perhaps having to perform without her signature machine gun fire rapping style killer buzz.

Whatever the case, these two are not lit Number seven the View Lou Reed and Metallica I Am A chorus of the voices that gather up the magnets.

This songwriter's last single is a disappointing one.

Reid's flat talk sing delivery paired with Metallica's heavy metal flair is an unsuccessful juxtaposition, almost painful to listen to.

I call for your soul shaking I want to have you downing every meaning you've amassed the black and white music video, directed by Darren Arono of all people, fails to justify the song.

Although some critics gave the collaboration positive reviews, perhaps because of its riddling but eloquent lyrics, the fans were not as pleased.

Unfortunately, Reid died in 2013, so this single will just have to be his last word.

As it is, this duet mostly repels us, and Metallica should not have gone there.

I am the table I am, I am, I am, I am Number six Sweet Child O Mine Fergie and Slash Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only Slash.

Watching the super bowl halftime show had never been so painful.

For the 2011 show, members of the Black Eyed Peas were invited to perform with Guns N Roses guitarist Slash as a special guest.

During the show, Fergie and Slash performed Sweet Child of Mine.

it was really Fergie singing a very warbly rendition and dancing sensuously while Slash stood stoically playing guitar.

If there is such a thing as negative chemistry, these two had it.

The halftime show in general got negative reviews all around, but

Fergie and Slash's duet was certainly a low point.

Number 5 Walk this way, Aerosmith, NSYNC and Britney Spears Speaking of embarrassing super bowl halftime shows, we'd be remiss if we didn't talk about this chaotic motley.

In 2001, Aerosmith and NSync headlined the show with a guest appearance by the Princess of Pop herself.

At the end of the medley, Spears joined NSYNC and Aerosmith in singing the latter's Walk this Way, joined by Nelly and Mary J.

It's a blast from the past, alright, but it's also a mess of genres that never really cohere.

Spears especially looks out of place with the rock bands and the rap artists.

Perhaps this is a bit of nostalgia we'll just not partake in.

Number four Sweet Lovin Friends Dolly Parton and Sylvester Stallone.

You heard right, Looking for an evening's pleasure.

We're not sure who was the one to suggest pairing these two together, but they were undoubtedly wrong.

The film was a flop and offering Dolly Parton and Sylvester Stallone in a duet is one reason why thought of something lasting just to fill it up.

Stallone is no singer, much less a country one, and

he is woefully outclassed by Parton in his cottonmouth rendition of this original song.

The song was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Original Song and the film in general was nominated for Worst Musical.

Number three do what you want Lady Gaga featuring R. Kelly what are you hungry for Mr. President?

Girl, you've been working for me for six long years.

These two did what they wanted, a synth pop, R and B infused number written by Gaga.

The song insists that the world can only have the singer's body and not her thoughts and opinions.

When she performed it at the American Music Awards, seeing a breathy voiced Secretary Gaga singing do what you want with my body to R.

It became even more so over time as more and more assault allegations about Kelly became common knowledge.

Gaga ended up pulling the song from music streaming services, which is a good call.

I love to hear you say girl do what I want, do what I want, do what I want, do what I want.

Number two Strut Steven Seagal featuring Lady Saw.

Controversial actress Steven Seagal actually co wrote this song with Jamaican singer Lady Saw in one of the most unexpected duets in music.

When the girls start to strut, you could look at her but you shouldn't do that.

Seagull's melodic part and his voice contrast sharply with Saul's aggressive rap, creating a very jarring effect.

Also known as Me Want the Pooh Nanny Due to the repeated phrase, listeners were not happy with Seagal's fake Jamaican accent.

The witless lyrics failed to redeem the song either.

Why this action film star would even try his hand at dancehall is a mystery for the ages.

Number one Accidental Racist Brad Paisley and LL Cool J the man that Waited on Me and the Starbucks down on me.

This country song stirred quite a lot of controversy with its tone deaf lyrics defending wearing a T shirt of the Confederate flag as Southern Pride.

Even more confusingly, Paisley co wrote the song with rapper LL Cool J from but not everything we've done.

This means we get to hear Paisley's earnest country ballad vocals along with LL Cool J's rap.

It's hard to tell which is worse, Paisley's uneasy lines or LL Cool J earnestly rapping.

If you don't judge my new round, I won't judge your red flag.

Paisley and LL Cool J were obliged to explain the meaning of their song, which is not a good sign at all, to the embarrassment of all of us.

For those of you who are talking about this, I guess you'll listen to it and you'll make up your own mind.
