Offensive! or Quite Intriguing?

Mark another one up for creative BBC programming. This Christmas they had a 142-hour program: The Complete Bach. For Easter they plan to baptise (notice the "s") New Wave. This is from The Guardian:

The BBC plans to celebrate the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ this Easter with a procession through the streets of Manchester, featuring musicians from the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays, and songs by the Smiths and New Order. Seriously. The program is called Manchester Passion. A contemporary retelling of the last hours of Jesus’ life, it will combine words from the Bible with contemporary music while reenacting important moments in the gospel story. A character playing Jesus will sing Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart. ” He’ll then sing New Order’s “Blue Monday” with his betrayer, Judas. Mary Magdelene, accompanied by a string band, will sing the Buzzcocks’ “Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t Have)”. In the most anticipated act of the day, Jesus will sing the Smiths classic “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now” as he’s being whipped by Roman soldiers. After that, he’ll encounter his Roman prosecutor Pontius Pilate, and the two of them will sing Oasis hit “Wonderwall.” The public will be invited to sing anthems like the M People’s “Search For a Hero Inside Yourself” after the march. The crowd will carry a huge white cross, and audience participators will be asked to bring along something that symbolizes a personal burden. The event will end with a resurrected Jesus singing from the top of Manchester’s Town Hall. The song has not yet been revealed. BBC’s Classical Music Television department is putting on the show. The Church Of England and the Roman Catholic Church in the area both support the event. “We are very pleased to be taking the good news of the gospel onto the streets of Manchester,” Church of England spokeswoman Gillian Oliver told the Guardian. “If anything, something like this can translate the old story into new terms.”

First off, I want to start a poll. What song will Jesus sing on top of Manchester's Town Hall?

Second, I want to post a question: Is this event a good idea in light of my previous posting on Christendom? Or is it plain wrong?
