Only a brave soul or souls in this case will take on the mighty Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl.
But that is exactly what BBC is doing in the BBC Live Lounge.
Go big or go home right!
The BBC is bringing together some of the biggest and most respected artists from the UK and around the world for the most ambitious Live Lounge in its history, in support of the global effort to stay safe and stay home during the coronavirus crisis.
“It’s times like these you learn to live again… It’s times like these you give and give again.”
Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters
The Stay Home Live Lounge will be released at midday on Thursday 23 April (BST) which means Thursday 9PM EST for us here in Australia.
The performance will see some of the music industry’s biggest stars collaborate on a cover of the Foo Fighters’ Times Like These’ to raise money for charities.
The accompanying video will then receive its world exclusive premiere during BBC One’s The Big Night In.
