barrysarll alerted me to this bizarre (and horribly titled) compilation. But that's not what I want to draw your attention to in this link - look instead at the tracklisting, and how, in some kind of ablative mix-up, the word "with" has been inserted between title and artist in every case. So hence you get - "Going Underground with the Jam", "Rehab with Amy Winehouse", many of which sound like really ghastly freeview TV programme ideas: "Put your records on with Corinne Bailey Rae". The best, however, is "Everybody's gone to war with Nerina Pallot". If only.

READERS can you think of any other songs where the insertion of "with" could amuse or divert.

Or you could just gasp in horror at the record.

I have a George Jones album which features three duets with Melba Montgomery. They are billed as:

Let's Get Together with Melba Montgomery
Living On Easy Street with Melba Montgomery
We Must Have Been Out Of Our Minds with Melba Montgomery

If that makes its way to my local's jukebox I will lose all faith in humanity. I would feel safe in the jukebox not having updated itself since 1985 but it has the new Kasabian album and some kind of 'Indie Of The Year' or something compilation so there's a risk. :(

'U & UR Hand with Pink' surely sounds like something that was made in the '70s and yet gets reeled out, tape stuttering and flickering, for your sensory horror in a PSHE lesson.

Welcome To The Black Parade with My Chemical Romance sounds a lot jollier than the original.

Nice to see that The Knife will be getting even more royalties from that Jose Gonzalez cover.

Same cover design (though I'm not sure about the colours), and some of the same songs - but by no means all of them. eg, of the ones you mention above, mine only has Corinne Bailey Raebies (do you see what I did there?).
