“Uptown Funk” parodies are pretty much played out at this point, but there’s one final addition to the canon, care of a bunch of talented senior citizens. The “Oldtown Funk” clip is a faithful remake of Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson’s hit video, performed by Alex Boye, the Genesis Band and the Dancing Grannies, who range in age from 65-92 according to the video description.
You might also scoff when you see the description says, “All the grandmas and grandpas in this video did their own stunts ” until you realize it’s not a joke: one woman sporting a cane drops it for a full split.
Whether it’s a meta commentary about the concept of “Uptown Funk” parodies being so old, or just an attempt by web-savvy senior citizens to get a piece of that viral pie, it’s worth a watch.
