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. Uploaded Mondays & Thursdays (when in season). See other platforms for full length and high fidelity audio and visual experience plus all references and sources: https://youtube.com/@soicalledzucchero https://www.mixcloud.com/SoICalledZucchero/ Hosted on Acast.

Ep 5 prt 6 - Well Did You Evah! 30.10.2025 1:03:27
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 Mo...
Ep 5 prt 5 Heart Of Glass 24.10.2025 48:45
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...
Ep 5 prt 4 Up Above My Head 23.10.2025 1:00:10
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...
Ep 5 prt 3 Time To Kiss 19.10.2025 44:17
Fred Schneider & Patti La Belle - Time To Kiss Not 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. Pa...
Ep 5 prt 2 Private Idaho 17.10.2025 48:21
The B52s (Fred Schneider & Kate Pierson) - Private Idaho Leaving 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 suburb...
Ep 5 Prt 1 Candy 17.10.2025 46:18
Iggy Pop & Kate Pierson - Candy It’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...
Ep 4 prt 6- Love Song 11.12.2024 20:35
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...
Ep 4 Prt 5 - Purple Rain 25.11.2024 48:15
Stevie Wonder & Madonna - Purple Rain Stevie’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 s...
Ep 4 Prt 4 - Part Time Lover 17.11.2024 46:33
Stevie Wonder & Boy George - Part Time Lover Rewind 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 uncharacteris...
Ep 4 prt 3 - Patience 20.09.2024 34:27
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...
Ep 4 Prt 2 - Hang On In There Baby 20.09.2024 35:57
Gary Barlow & Rosie Gaines - Hang On In There Baby It’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 yo...
Ep 4 prt 1 - Nothing Compares 2 U 02.09.2024 39:25
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 r...
Ep 3 Prt 6 - Learning The Blues 21.03.2024 44:15
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 go...
Ep 3 prt 5 - The One I Love Belongs to Somebody Else 14.03.2024 37:01
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 alrea...
Ep3 prt 4 - My 1st Country Song 07.03.2024 34:57
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.

Ep 3 prt 3 - Louisiana Woman Mississippi Man 21.02.2024 30:21
Ross & Tom burst through the swing door of the countryville saloon, suspicious silence fills the room, but they start babbling anyway with the help of some whiskey chasers. The locals warm up eventually and seem to approve. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
