Yes, you read the headline correctly. Rock legend Elvis Costello recorded a cover of Christina Aguilera's 'Beautiful,' to be featured on the soundtrack to FOX's hit show, 'House.' The compilation will also include Sarah McLachlan's cover of the XTC classic, 'Dear God,' along with previously released hits from artists including Ben Harper, Joe Cocker, Lucinda Williams and Josh Rouse.

'House' star Hugh Laurie also lends his vocals to the disc, joining the jam-band dubbed 'Band From TV,' on a mean cover of the Rolling Stones' 'You Can't Always Get What You Want.' Band From TV is actually a group of actors-turned-musicians including Laurie, James Denton ('Desperate Housewives'), Greg Grunberg ('Heroes'), Bonnie Somerville ('Cashmere Mafia') and Bob Guiney ('The Bachelor').

The 'House' soundtrack hits stores Sept. 18.
