Does this sentence sound natural to you?

My friend asked me to turn this sentence into a passive voice: "I have Lan sing that song with me," and my answer is: "I have that song sung with me by Lan". Do you think it's a well-formed sentence

bee blue 779 "I have that song sung with me by Lan" It's theoretically possible, but very awkward, and hardly something that anyone would say. It would be less awkward without "with me" (though of course that would change the meaning).
