Video: Pharrell, Dave Grohl, Stevie Wonder, Lorde + more Cover “God Only Knows”

To help promote their newly launched BBC Music site, the British Broadcasting Corporation brought together some of the world’s biggest talents to record one of the world’s most beautiful songs (and a personal all-time favorite), The Beach Boys’ “God Only Knows.”

The ensemble cast for this one boasts stars from the 60’s and on, including Pharrell, Elton John, Lorde, Chris Martin (Coldplay), Florence Welch (Florence + The Machine), Stevie Wonder, Brian May (Queen), One Direction, Dave Grohl, Sam Smith and the mastermind behind the original, Beach Boys leader Brian Wilson.

The cover is not exactly that in a traditional sense, since each artist barely gets about a line to perform, but it doesn’t sound half bad. You can also check a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the clip here.
