Uptown Funk Mark
Ronson Ft. Bruno Mars
When I mention
this is a throwback to the funk songs of the 80s, all the young
people look at me with confusion. I keep forgetting funk/pop sort of
missed them because they grew up in the 90s. Make no mistake this
song is a tribute to Prince and Morris Day and the Time. It has that
flashy horn section and that bright sound. I like how the young
folks think this Bruno Mars sound is “new”.
Now, the music
video is more of a tribute to Michael Jackson. It has the look of
those mid 80s videos that MJ used to make. The outfits are clearly
80s right. I love the guy in the suit with no shirt. I remember
that being a thing.
The music video
is just plain cool with its 80's vibe.
The song is fun.
It's catchy and makes me nod my head. I hear a lot of modern music
and I get upset on how bland and stupid it sounds. Every time I turn
on the hip-hop station, I get mad and turn it off in frustration.
Hearing Uptown Funk is such a breath of fresh of air.
If I had one
complaint, I wish the song had a 15 minute version like those disco
songs from the 70s. Maybe, there is one.
-Check out all
the 80s cars.
-Watch the older
lady in the hair salon: She is actually getting into the song.
-Who knew
getting your shoes shined would look cool?
-The Club scene
is clearly a tribute to Morris Day and the Time
Anyway, before
Prince takes it down, here's Morris Day and the Time's “The Bird”
