God only knows how they came up with this line-up

It's not quite up there with Tinchy Stryder teaming up with the Chuckle Brothers, but the BBC have somehow managed to drain Dave Grohl of much of his remaining credibility (nice guy though he seems to be) by having him rub shoulders with the likes of Jamie Cullum and One Direction on a cover of the Beach Boys classic 'God Only Knows'. Grohl's already been involved in an unlikely collaboration with Elton John, of course, in that they both appeared on Queens Of The Stone Age's ... Like Clockwork.

The single marks the launch of something called BBC Music, a hub for all of the corporation's music-related output, and is being sold in aid of Children In Need. Heaven help its chances in the charts, then...
