It's been a bit adult-heavy so far today, so to balance things out here is a song performed and written by children from across the UK for CBeebies.

Our Song was written by English composer Sasha Johnson Manning, using words and phrases contributed by listeners.  

...and as a special treat, Hacker T Dog even got involved, though we're sad he didn't cover Who Let the Dogs Out?

DJ Snake - who produced mega hit Lean On with Major Lazer and MØ - has released a new track Talk, the second single from his forthcoming debut album. 

Featuring Aussie singer-songwriter George Maple, it follows the French producer's platinum-selling single Middle ft Bipolar Sunshine. 

It probably sounds better on a beach in Ibiza, but you can listen wherever you are right now and dream...

Earlier this week, Kraftwerk's Ralf Hutter lost a two-decade fight against copyright infringement in the German Courts. 

The musician had sued producer Moses Pelham, saying he sampled Kraftwerk's Metal on Metal without permission. But the court found the impact on Kraftwerk did not outweigh "artistic freedom". 

Subsequently, Madonna was cleared of breaching copyright by a US court, after sampling a brief snatch of brass on her number one hit Vogue. 

So, does this mean the laws on sampling and copyright are being relaxed? BBC Music's Mark Savage takes a look...

Shaun the Sheep's Vegetable orchestra is on the go at Bristol's Colston Hall.

The event also marks Oscar-winning local animation studio Aardman’s 40th anniversary.

and some famous faces are even getting involved...

Asian Network DJ Bobby Friction spent some time with the UK's only blind orchestra for this year's BBC Music Day. 

Inner Vision is made up entirely of blind & partially sighted musicians, who told Bobby "You don't need eyes to play music, you need ears."

Singer/songwriter Yusuf / Cat Stevens has announced a live charity gig to support a campaign to help child refugees in Europe.

He will play a show at London’s Central Hall, Westminster on 14 June and has recorded a new song He Was Alone.

Yusuf’s charity, Small Kindness, is partnering with charities Save the Children and Penny Appeal to raise funds to help refugees.

"It was difficult to stand by just watching this tragedy without trying to do something. I simply decided to help humanize the narrative and lend my voice to the call for keeping hearts and doors open to every refugee, especially youngsters, who have lost what future they might have once hoped for," he said.

Safety first people, safety first - even the artists taking part in BBC Music Day must observe the rules of the shop floor. 

Here are Will Young and Katie Derham at the Pukka Tea factory in Bristol.

Will, who is an official BBC Music Day ambassador, said the event was about "pointing out what music does for people in their lives".

Does he mean that music can cross boundaries, or even cross walls?

"It crosses boundaries. It crosses walls. You can't stop sound.

"I get as much joy singing in the shower as I will singing here today."

Which is quite the coincidence, as he's worn a shower cap for both.

Just a few days ago, Twin Atlantic teased details of a new album and last night on Annie Mac's Hottest Record they debuted a brand new single No Sleep.

It's taken from their forthcoming fourth studio album GLA which is due out on 9 September.

This summer they'll be playing Download festival and a headline show at London’s Scala on 12 July.

The band explained the new album was a homage to their home city of Glasgow

"It's the airport code, so we've not been too inventive," they admitted.

"We all still live there and it was the lighting bulb realisation of, 'We've never written an album in Glasgow'. We've always been on tour but having some time off and listening to the music we actually listen to and getting inspiration, it gave us a good compass for what we actually wanted to do."

Listen to the track and interview below... 

As we mentioned earlier, the BBC Singers are at the Pukka Herbs factory in Bristol to mark two epic events: The 75th anniversary of Workers' Playtime and the second annual BBC Music Day.

Appropriately, they kicked off their concert with the song Everything Stops For Tea - a quirky ditty from Jack Buchanan's 1935 comedy film Come Out Of The Pantry.

Nope, me neither.

Primal Scream singer Bobby Gillespie is recovering in hospital after falling off stage at Swiss festival Caribana.

It's not enough for bands to just announce albums now, in true Hollywood style why not do it with a trailer?

That's what Bastille have done to announce the long-awaited follow-up to their number one debut.

They released a new song entitled The Currents last month and are playing festivals this summer including Parklife, Glastonbury and T in the Park.

The original Ghostbusters theme tune has become a party classic equally at home at a 5-year-old's birthday shindigs as it is setting off mass singalongs at festivals or 80s nights. 

So the soundtrack of the forthcoming female-led Ghostbusters reboot has a lot to live up to. Enter Elle King, who's just debuted her lead track Good Girls.

It's also been announced Fall Out Boy have collaborated with Missy Elliot to cover Ray Parker Jr's original theme (!) with Walk the Moon, 5 Seconds of Summer and Wolf Alice also recording tracks.

Plenty of die-hard Ghostbusters fans have criticised director Paul Feig's casting for the film (due next month), but what do people reckon to the soundtrack? Twitter seems generally stoked, especially the 5SOS fans...

Oscar-winning Italian film composer Ennio Morricone is showing no signs of retiring anytime soon - having signed a new record deal just shy of his 88th birthday. 

His first new release on Decca Records will be Morricone 60 on 7 October, an album featuring some of the biggest film scores from his 60-year career. 

Featuring tracks from his recent Academy Award-winning score for Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight, right back to the The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, it will be the first album of his greatest hits conducted, recorded and curated by Morricone himself.

Morricone said it had been "a wonderful experience" to record with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, calling their performance "truly outstanding”.

The composer will also head out on a celebratory tour featuring 200 musicians and singers - but his next UK show is at Blenheim Palace’s Great Court on 23 June.

The Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester booked itself a place in rock and roll folklore in 1976 when the then unknown Sex Pistols played their first ever live show there.

Despite the fact its capacity was a few hundred and just a handful of people were reported to have actually been in attendance, at least half of the people working in the music industry today claim they were there.

US rapper Pusha T, more famed for his gritty tales of being a teenage drug dealer, apparently has another string to his bow.

According to an advertising executive Steve Stoute, the CEO of the marketing firm Translation, Pusha T was the composer of the jingle used in McDonald's longest ever marketing campaign. 

McDonald's rolled out the "I'm Lovin' It" jingle in 2003 and paid Justin Timberlake a reported $6 million to sing it.

During an interview with Hot 97's Ebro Darden, Stoute said "You know who did that? Pusha T. That's crazy that Pusha T wrote the song to McDonald's!"
