The Zimmers
You may have already seen this since it has gone viral, but if you haven’t it is really funny. Someone pulled together a bunch of English retirement home residents and had them record, among other things, The Who’s My Generation, complete with instrument-smashing at the end of the song. This has been all over the web, and the BBC will be airing a documentary on them later this month. They do a surprisingly good job, and the video itself is both funny and touching.
They even have a MySpace page.
