“Uptown Funk” is a contemporary song, but nobody of any age can stop themselves from dancing when it’s played. We cannot deny that it has a catchy tune. That’s why anyone is encouraged to sway their body and move to the beat if they’re not so embarrassed to show their moves.
Uptown Funk belongs to the boogie, pop, and funk genre, released in 2014 by Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson. This has become a staple since then. It’s like there’s a switch that automatically turns on and makes you move when you hear this song.
There’s no limit to age when it comes to music.
Because of the song’s popularity, so many other artists make their own versions or covers of the song. Keith Mullins is one great musician who has a superb version of it. He is from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Like his father, Keith is also a songwriter, singer and he can play several instruments.
He started young as a musician. At fifteen, he travels and performs in different places.

As a matter of fact, he plays Uptown Funk in this video’s background as a one-man team.
It’s incredible how he is able to combine the different instruments – tambourine, kick drum, harmonica, and guitar while singing the song.
Keith is singing at The Inverary Resort located in Cape Breton Island, NS, Canada.
He is surprised to see an elderly couple from Texas enjoying his music to dance to it. His groovy version of “Uptown Funk” has made these seniors hyper and ready to show what they got.
They are Burt and Carolyn, already in their 70s.
Perhaps they feel so young with the song that their knees are ready to move with the beat. Though they are not as energetic as teenagers, especially after having a few drinks. But these two have the attitude, and they just want to have some fun. They dance like no one’s watching.
They may be old, but they still dance like young individuals. And it is heartwarming to see them.
A viewer named Trevor comments:
“Just watched it again, love it more; the pair dancing is awesome. And the version of this song is amazing, brilliant video and love to the pair dancing and the singer.”
This couple may have been together for several decades. They are definitely meant to be together. Though the years that have gone by may not be easy, their dance proves how happy they are to share their lives together.
You cannot underestimate grandpa’s dancing talent.
His fancy footwork shows he can still dance without aching knees. He just allowed to loosen those legs and merrily dance to Keith’s music of Uptown Funk. If he is younger, a few decades back, he must be one of the guys who can impress ladies on the dance floor.
But, the woman right beside him is the one that caught his heart. And they look like young lovers once more.
Indeed, they are quite an adorable pair.
“This is so inspirational! Getting older does not mean being frail or walking with a walker, or being in a wheelchair. Keep active! If dancing is what you like, do it. If it’s walking, do it. Going to the gym, whatever you like, do it to keep yourself active and strong.”
This is what another viewer points out.
Keith may be used to performing in front of a crowd but seeing this beautiful couple enjoying his music and showing off their moves is something special.
It is one that he can’t surely forget and will always make him smile.
This elderly couple is such an inspiration. No matter what you go through, as long as you have your loved one beside you, everything seems bearable. And you can just look back to the challenging years and feel proud for overcoming the hardships of life. Most of all, it’s a great thing to celebrate the love you share and freely dance together like the old times.
