The Beach Boys’ masterpiece “God Only Knows” remade with the help of a few friends to celebrate the launch of BBC Music. With the 80-piece BBC Concert Orchestra at its heart and 27 ridiculously talented musicians from a wide range of genres, this “impossible orchestra” represents the talent, diversity and musical passion found every single day throughout the BBC.
It features Pharrell Williams, Elton John, Lorde, Chris Martin, Brian Wilson, Kylie Minogue, Stevie Wonder, Brian May, Chrissie Hynde and many more. Agency: Karmarama London.

Anyone else notice they’ve replaced the VOX logos on Brian May’s wall of amplifiers with the non-existent MAY brand, presumably to not give a commercial pug to a branded entity on the national broadcaster?
I love the BBC, but if you had 7 bazillion pounds and six+ months to produce something, would you get Stevie Wonder to play the harmonica and Dave Grohl to sing in the clouds?
While it’s nice to see Brian Wilson leave his bedroom, could you imagine seeing Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and John Lennon croning along with him?
Agree on Vox comment. BBC already made the Beatles popular with the same amp, no reason to hide it from all of us.
When you’re playing with royalty, get your hands out of your pockets.
