Hey all, thanks for taking a few minutes to check this out, were a classic rock band from long island new york, and were trying to find some great danceable duets male/female songs. if you have any ideas drop a line, appreciate your time and help.

stone bay

Meat Loaf "Paradise By The Dashboard Lights"
Lita Ford/Ozzy Osbourne "Close My Eyes Forever"
Cyndi Lauper "True Colors"
Don Henley/Patti Smyth "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough"

One that could work as a male/female (even though it was two guys)

Queen/Bowie "Under Pressure"

Damn, talk about a dance number - Debbie Harry/Iggy Pop "Did You Evah"

"Love Shack" B-52s
"Shiny Happy People" R.E.M.

It does. Live, Gail An Dorsey sings Freddy's lines.

Didn't realize someone recorded it that way. Cool.

"The Battle of Evermore" Led Zeppelin (good luck with that one)
Yeah, I guess that's not exactly a dance tune.

How about
"Summer Nights" from the musical Grease?

(Musicals are actually a great source for male/female duets as long as you can put up with a little cheese factor. I did a little googling and it seems that stuff like "Endless Love" and "A Whole New World" are popular, especially with women.)

I've also done (with male lead and female harmony)
"Bye Bye Love" by the Everly Brothers.

But if you're just talking about one of the two voices singing harmony then the list is pretty much endless as almost any song with BGVs can be arranged for male/female voices.

Back to "true" duets, here are some others that you may or may not want to rock up:

"Opposites Attract" Paula Abdul and The Wild Pair
"Ebony and Ivory" Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder

Seems to be a lot of Johnny Cash/June Carter fans out on the net, too. More fodder for rockification (or not).

In as much as the song makes me gag... Bill Medley/Jennifer Warnes doing "The Time of my Life" from Dirty Dancing might work.

Instead, try "Stop Dragging my Heart Around" by Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks.

Rossington Collins Band, "Don't Misunderstand Me"

The Everly Brothers, "Let It Be Me"
