GOD only knows how long the BBC took to put this together.
In honour of the launch of BBC Music — a new music content venture that will include TV and radio programming as well as digital services — the British network assembled a so-called “Impossible Orchestra” to cover the Beach Boys classic God Only Knows.
It’s an echo of the 1997 version of Lou Reed’s Perfect Day, which was also commissioned by the BBC and featured the likes of Bono, Tom Jones and David Bowie.
Every line of God Only Knows — the proceeds of which also benefit the BBC’s Children in Need initiative — is sung by a different member of the star-studded group. There are no surprises for spotting One Direction, but why Zayn Malik looks adoringly at Harry Styles while they sing, “God only knows what I’d be without you” is open to question.
Legends like Elton John, Stevie Wonder and, naturally, original Beach Boy Brian Wilson (who wrote the song) are present and correct — but the question is, how many more can you spot?
Check out the video, and then take a look to see the full line-up of the “Impossible Orchestra.”
