In 1998, a pop star looked to follow up his debut Top 20 hit with a new single. He decided to cover a Hall & Oates track (She's Gone) and teamed up with an up-and-coming girl band. So far, nothing out of the ordinary, but in hindsight, this really was an odd mix.

The singer in question was Matthew Marsden. You probably don't remember him; this was his final foray into the charts. He'd launched a (fleeting) pop career after leaving Coronation Street, where he played a mechanic who - like practically every male of a certain age who's been in Corrie - had an affair with Sally Webster.

The girl group you may have heard of. They were called Destiny's Child and since duetting with a Z-list soap actor, they've done rather well for themselves.

I still can't get my head round this; Destiny's Child were his back-up group.

Any other unlikely pairings or moments in pop that, with hindsight, just seem bizarre?
