There are two tried and true facts in this world: "Uptown Funk" is an awesome song and older people singing modern-day hits is hilarious and adorable.

Boye's video is a pitch-perfect send up of "Upton Funk"'s stylish video, only replacing the nice car with a rascal scooter and all the young backup dancers with older singers in their late 50s and 60s. Check out the original version for a comparison.

Boye, a Mormon performer whose created a number of well-known, "sanitized" covers of pop songs, also made a few alterations to the lyrics -- including changing the line "Fill my cup, put some liquor in it" to "put some Kool-Aid in it."
