Listen to Chance the Rapper’s Cover of the Arthur Theme Song Featuring Jessie Ware, Wyclef Jean and More

The nostalgic cover has been a part of his live show for a while now, but ahead of his Lollapalooza set this weekend he’s really upped the ante.

Late last spring, Chance The Rapper (b. 1993) and his The Social Experiment band took to covering the theme song to Arthur, that PBS show about a particularly adventuresome animated aardvark. The nostalgic 90's kid schtick of course struck a chord with Internet -- music, viral, contrarian internets all included -- and so, ahead of his set at Lollapalooza this Sunday, he's upped the ante. Below, behold a new studio version of his "Wonderful Day" rendition, now featuring backing vocals from a star-studded choir comprised of Jessie Ware, Elle Varner, Wyclef Jean, Francis and the Lights, Eryn Allen Kane, The O'My's, Peter Cottontale and Donnie Trumpet. This is not the stuff of everyday, but it is pretty wonderful.
