Does Brian Wilson know who Lorde is? Or why there's a tiger on his piano?

This lavish video boasts an array of stars performing Wilson's 1966 Beach Boys classic "God Only Knows" to help launch BBC Music, described by the company as "an ambitious wave of new programs, innovative partnerships and ground-breaking music initiatives."

Karmarama created the clip, which features luminaries representing various generations and styles. The Impossible Orchestra, as it's called, features Wilson, Lorde, Elton John, Pharrell Williams, One Direction, Stevie Wonder, Dave Grohl, Jake Bugg, Emeli Sandé, Chris Martin and many more.
