Sir Paul McCartney of Beatles fame has only gone given the go ahead (or go 'ed in his native Scouse) for one of his greatest hits We All Stand Together aka The Frog Chorus to appear on a new charity album
The 1984 song, that originally featured Macca and his animated amphibian friends will be re-worked by Choirs With Purpose - including the Parrs Wood High School who sang with Ariana Grande at the One Love Manchester gig - and a selection of singers including Britain's Got
Talent finalists, the Missing People Choir, and the NHS Choir.
All profits from album, which will be in the shops for Christmas, will be split equally between the
choirs or their nominated charities.
"We All Stand Together is the perfect
song to bring together all the different choirs featuring on the album" said record producer James Hawkins.
Quote Message: The message 'one thing is certain we'll never give in' resonates with every group, and we are so excited to be bringing this classic song to a whole new generation."

Saudi singer arrested for dabbing
Celebrity WatchCopyright: Celebrity Watch
A singer has been arrested for "dabbing" during a concert in south-west Saudi Arabia.
TV host and actor Abdallah Al Shahani was performing the dance move, which consists of tucking your head into the crook of your arm at a music festival in the city of Taif at the weekend.
Apparently dabbing is banned in Saudi where the authorities consider it a reference to narcotics culture.
On this the 10th anniversary of his death, Manchester music magnate Tony Wilson provides our #TBT today.
Here he is above with an inspired defence of an up and coming young Factory Records band called Joy Division back in 1979.
Tony suggests to Radio 1 bosses that drummer Stephen Morris and co are just as worthy as being played on the station as "most of the dross that's around".
Oh, and Cliff. That'll be Sir Cliff Richard to you and me.
Wilson says they won't play the band's songs "because it's slightly unsettling", "gothic" and "comes from somewhere deeper within the soul."

That's a big old club on the corner of a busy road Camden, so if you're going just be careful at the crossroads.

And Hurtin' Me was Annie Mac's Hottest Record for Wednesday
You can check it out above and hear Steff talk about how she managed to secure a record deal which allowed her to form her own label.
"For a year and a half before I was signed, I was going back and forth between labels and I kind of thought I want to do my own thing, I don't want people to tell me what to to."

Taylor Swift's mum made an emotional appearance in court yesterday, as she testified about the moment she learned the star had allegedly been groped backstage at a concert.
"I went into the dressing room and I saw her face," Andrea Swift told jurors in Denver.
"I could see that there was something horribly wrong...She said, 'Mom, a guy just grabbed my ass.'
"I wanted to vomit and cry at the same time...She was really shaken. She was humiliated."
Swift Snr, who is part of the star's management team, said she did not report the incident to police because: "I did not want this event to define her life."

Quote Message: I did not want her to have to life through the endless memes and gifs that tabloid media and internet trolls decided to come up with - doctoring the pictures… and making her relive this awful moment over and over again."

Taylor is suing radio DJ David Mueller over the alleged assault, which he denies.
Drake seems to have hinted at an imminent musical collab of some sort or other with fellow Toronto star The Weeknd.
Drizzy posted the above picture on Instagram of the pair performing at their hometown OVO Fest a few night's back, alongside the caption: "You don't know...What's in store..."
It's thought to be a reference to the opening line of Mr Weeknd's track High For This.
On stage together on Monday night, Drake told the Toronto crowd that project between the two of them "has to happen at some point".
It would certainly be an eco-friendly partnership as they could probably share a taxi home from gigs.
Chris Evans plays world exclusive new Liam Gallagher song
BBC Radio 2
All of which moves us nicely on to another of Manchester's favourite sons...
Liam Gallagher's new track got its premiere on the Radio 2 breakfast show this morning.
For What It's Worth sees the former Oasis frontman on confessional form as he sings: For what it's worth, I'm sorry for the hurt, I'll be the first to say I made my own mistakes.
The singer teased the new song with an a cappella video yesterday filmed in the studio but it's now available for you to listen to above with full instrumentation.
Behind is a poison picture you paint, let's not pretend you were ever searching for saints, cause I've been crucified for just being alive.
A little dig at his love-hate relationship with the media? Or someone else perhaps...
Tony Wilson: Ten years since the music manager and impresario's death
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
Today marks exactly a decade since former Factory Records owner and 'Mr Manchester' Tony Wilson died aged 57.
Tony was a seminal figure in establishing the Manchester music scene, having signed Joy Division, New Order and The Happy Mondays and co-founded the city's famous Hacienda nightclub.
His role in shaping the musical history of the city was chronicled in the 2002 film 24 Hour Party People.
BBC Radio 6 Music will be marking his life and works today and tributes have been pouring in from other key players from the Madchester scene.
As natural history tributes to rock stars go this one is pretty awesome.
British scientists have named the fossil of a giant crocodile from the Jurassic era after Lemmy from Motorhead.
The 19ft (5.8m) long beast has been named Lemmysuchus by University of Edinburgh scientists.
The crocodile swam in coastal waters around Britain more than 145 million years ago and had a skull measuring just over a metre with large, blunt teeth.
Natural History Museum curator Lorna Steel said: "Although Lemmy passed away at the end of 2015, we'd like to think that he would have raised a glass to Lemmysuchus, one of the nastiest sea creatures to have ever inhabited the Earth."
