Brian Wilson has reimagined Gershwin in his own image. It isn't quite "the Beach Boys do Gershwin", but it's close. I'd say the main difference is that the harmonies on this particular track are less complex, and the falsetto harmony is lacking. There is the very typical rollicking piano feel heard on a lot of Wilson and Beach Boys tunes.

Wilson had unprecedented access and cooperation from the Gershwin estate. They let him use unfinished and unpublished songs and even change some lyrics, which is something no one else has been given permission to do.
