This duet between the infamous Rat Packer and the voluptuous actress would still be weird if it happened when Martin was still alive. Johansson has dabbled in music over the years, recording both an album of Tom Waits covers and a Serge Gainsbourg-Brigitte Bardot-inspired collaboration with Pete Yorn. But despite her limited experience, she acquits herself nicely during the pleasant but unmemorable collaboration with the late Martin. Surprisingly, posthumous Christmas duets aren’t unusual, with Kelly Clarkson and Martina McBride teaming up with Elvis for “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” and “Baby It’s Cold Outside,” respectively.
