To ask you to help me find this song?

I have a recollection of a song that I cannot work out what is was. After hours of googling, I’m hoping to harness the Mumsnet hive mind. This is what I can remember:

It was on the Radio 2 breakfast playlist sometime between September 2014 and end of 2015. Seemed to be played constantly!

It was a male/female duet. I think it had quite a folky feel. Possibly fairly well known singers that had collaborated. I thought it was Alison Moyet, but can’t find any reference to her doing a duet.

It had a plodding beat and I’m sure something about honey & bees (sorry my memory is terrible!). When I try and remember it I always end up humming ‘leg bone connected to the hip bone’ dry bones song - I’m sure it had similar sort of feel to it!

Sorry for the very vague description, but hoping someone might recognise what I’m on about! Driving me nuts that I can’t remember.

Was it the Kylie/nick Cave duet?

Honey to the Bee, by Billie Piper has a plodding beat...?

Iris27 · 12/08/2020 22:53

Young folk?

DeborahAnnabelToo · 12/08/2020 22:55

God ignore me the Kylie one is FAR too old. 1995! Ffs showing my age.

Don’t suppose it was Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye?

RedLimoncello · 12/08/2020 23:00

Well this suggestion was from 2009 I think but Alison Krauss and Robert Plant "Rich Woman"?

Songinmyhead · 12/08/2020 23:01

YES @doodlejump1980!!!

It was ‘The Austerity of love’ by Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott. That was amazingly quick! Thank you!

It does have the words ‘honey bee’ in it!

Thanks to everyone else for the guesses too!

I thought that as well... but I got side tracked watching the video and listening to it.. I felt a bit pervy watching him... no clothes on and about a third of my age...
