To hear Pitch Perfect icons John Smith (John Michael Higgins) and Gail Abernathy-McKadden-Feinberger (Elizabeth Banks) tell it, “It seems that not even a quarantine could keep them from harassing us with another musical performance.”
On Monday, fictional a capella legends the Barden Bellas — known for winning the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella Finals, rubbing elbows with the Green Bay Packers, and pissing off Ruby Rose in one of the franchise’s two sequels but you can’t remember which — reunited via webcam for a catchy cover of Beyoncé’s 2011 hit “Love On Top” benefitting UNICEF.
Stars Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow, Anna Camp, Hailee Steinfeld, Hana Mae Lee, Chrissie Fit, Shelley Regner, Alexis Knapp, and Kelley Jakle appear in the delightful, socially distanced music video.
The cover is now available as a single; all proceed from streams and downloads go “to help children in Lebanon and around the world who need our support right now.” Acca-believe it!
