Just seen this. Featuring the man himself and ... just about everyone else! A lot of dodgy artists but a lot of esteemed musicians too. Nice to see such an impressive tribute to the song and its composer. Can't find a link online unfortunately so if it doesn't show up on the web, keep yer eyes on the BBC ...

Edit: thanks Lowbacca!

The video sounds good and is quite pretty.

Very cool and great marketing for the biopic and new album.

(But why do Brian's vocals seem so processed?)

God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!

"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.

Ever want to hear some Beach Boys songs mashed up together like The Beatles' 'LOVE' album? Check out my mix!

It's always great to see one of the most beautiful songs in pop music and it's composer and his band getting acknowledgement. But Brian's voice sounds so unnatural on this. I know you could say something like that even about the double tracked Beach Boys recordings (and to a point I guess that Brian is looking for such a sound when he's using modern technologies) but compared with the other singers it sticks out in not too positive a way.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

This is another reason to get this album out pronto…

Speak to any non-beach Head in the UK and their opinion of BW is tainted by his appearance at the Queen's jubilee gig, at which he didn't come across too well.

The record may be abou to be put straight.

This is pretty big.

It's being pushed as the new "perfect day" and it's being released as a single at midnight.

Huge honor for The Beach Boys.

Lovely...and thank you for pointing it out.  Is that Brian's original production patched-in at the 1-minute point
(when he appears)?  Or a reproduction.
