    Self-isolation has brought out the best in people's creativity, giving rise to some truly crazy things.

    Twitter user Ben Howell has used the time to mash up Dua Lipa's Hallucinate, off her latest album Future Nostalgia, with the BBC news music, which is not a sentence we ever thought we'd write.

    Speaking about the mash-up to Metro.co.uk, Ben said he had one aim for the mash-up in mind. "It’s a bit of a strange one, it stemmed from the fact that I was already kind of obsessed with the BBC News theme tune, I tweeted that it’s a certified bop and I stand by that!

    "I went to put it on at parties and my friends, some of them were into it and some of them rolled their eyes, so I thought if I could make it a bit more contemporary, maybe people will be willing to listen to it and I could get away with it."

    The mash-up took him four days, putting it together from scratch. Dua gave it her seal of approval, saying, “Quarantine level: @BBCNews remix of Hallucinate by @piffleandwhimsy [Ben’s Twitter name],” she wrote. “Thank you @gregjames for sending me this! I think this calls for a new theme tune???” We couldn't agree more.

    Check out the full remix below - who knew it would work so well?
