Beach Boys' Brian Wilson to re-record Disney classics

The Beach Boys star Brian Wilson has taken on a tough but exciting project and will release an album of reworked and re-recorded classic Disney songs. 

The musician will unveil a full length record called 'In the Key of Disney' later this year and has agreed to tackle some of the global corporation's best loved hits such as 'I Just Can't Wait To Be King' from The Lion King, 'The Bare Necessities' from Jungle Book, and other favourites from movies like Snow White and Toy Story. 

Speaking to USA Today recently, Wilson explained:

"The Beach Boys sound and the Disney people make a fantastic collaboration, I tried to do justice to all their songs."

'In the Key of Disney' is due for release on October 25 and you can watch him perform 'Surf's Up' here:
