Our question for you this week is: What is the best collaborative song of all time? (Think Bowie and Queen, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga, Boyz II Men and Mariah Carey...)

“Time to Pretend”

MGMT | 2008

Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden told Rolling Stone they got the idea from the insect's jerky movements. The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
