Sure, it took the queen of hip-hop R&B to tempt one of Wu-Tang's premiere weedmongers to do it, but the result changed pop history. "All I Need" is widely considered the first track to successfully conjoin R&B and hip-hop – two genres that hated each other with a passion before it was discovered they're like peanut butter and jelly.

Weeks before her death in 1934, notorious criminal Bonnie Parker wrote "The Trail's End," a poem about the tribulations faced by her and her partner Clyde Barrow, whom she'd known since he was "honest and upright and clean."

The source material proved irresistible for the slightly sleazy yé-yé legend Serge Gainsbourg, who recast a French-language adaptation of the poem as a duet between him and his then-muse, the breathy Brigitte Bardot.
