They also know how to move to it.

One song that gets even the older generation on its feet is Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk”.

This is exemplified by this elderly couple who heard the song and knew it was time to get up and dance.

The Texan couple was on vacation in Canada. They stopped by a restaurant in The Inverary Resort on Cape Breton Island where a musician was playing some live music.

One user commented, “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.”

The band got “props” also.

Another user commended the musician for sharing the spotlight with the sweet couple.

They said, “Way to go, Keith! That couple had a great time showing off their moves, and you inspired them. I never thought about doing an acoustic version of one of my favorite songs, because I just gotta dance whenever I hear it.”
