Earworm...Booty Shaker! Uptown Funk!

sidsmom — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 01:12:07 GMT

This song is definitely making rounds! It's been the 'commercial' song for sooo many shows....Fashion Police, movies Mortdecai & The Wedding Ringer, NBC All-Star...and I think T-Mobile...it's EVERYWHERE! But...I couldn't be happier...it's a toe-tapper!

Reminds me of old school Prince or 'Jungle Love' w/ Morris Day & the Tyme. VERY circa 1984. Love it.

Thanks for posting this. I have heard that this song is taking over, and had never heard it. I must live in a hole or something, as I'm usually more aware of what is current than that.

The video looks like early 80's. The horns are rather late 70's early 80's Earth Wind and Fire "ish" or Chicago 'ish', or KC and the Sunshine Band 'ish'.

Can't believe I never heard this before. Glad to finally be in the know, and I think it will grow on me!

He's such a great entertainer....old school mixed with pop!!

The horns remind me of the old group 'Tower of Power'.

Its a great song for driving in your car.

And I can watch Bruno Mars shake his booty all day.

I love it too.

It reminded me of this old one by Zapp & Roger (Doo Wa Ditty - Blow that Thing).

I love just about everything Bruno Mars does. He is like a combo of Michael Jackson, Elvis, and all my favorite soul men of the 70s and 80s rolled into one small dynamite package.

Funny you guys mentioned ""Kid"". Christopher Reid (""Kid"") has gotten to know my sports radio guys here in Dallas @ The Ticket.

This is the mid-day show (BaDD Radio). Kid calls in every Friday to predict football games with these guys...it's the funniest thing. And he partied w/ them @ the Super Bowl (pic below). Funniest thing for an AM sports radio show. Love Kid!!!

I KNOW!! . My sports radio station definitely has a cult following....not just locally, but nationally as well. Basically the same format & hosts for the last 20 years....that's unheard of in the radio business. I listen from 5:30am-7:00pm...not just sports...lots & lots of humor & insightful talk. I grew up with these guys....can you tell I love'em??! They are on IHeartRadio...The Ticket 1310 AM Dallas...tune in!
